Brakes/Track Event

Hey guys,

I would like some input from more experienced people.  I am signed up for my
1st track event (at the Convention), and I was reading some of the info; and
it is recommended to bring spare brake pads.  I understand the reason, but I
don't expect to be driving as hard as more experienced drivers; so would it
still be expected to wear pads down that quickly.  I just purchased A1
Cardonne remand AD22's, and I will install this weekend; and I was planning
on running those semi-metallic pads.  Would it be recommended to purchase a
better pad for the event in lieu of the cheapies?  I image the answer to be
yes, but I wanted ask.

Also, will any sponsors (i.e. Greg @ Mossy, etc.) be bringing spare pads to
sell while at the convention?  I hate to order Axis Ultimates for $50 and
have to pay $30 for next day air shipping, or risk not getting them on time.
It would be easier to pull the wheels, put pads on, bead, and race the next
day.

My set-up: AGX, Hyperco 2nd Gen, ES master kit, Progress Rear Bar, on Nitto
450's {don't hate on the 450's  :)  }
Thanks,

Josh in IL
