News from the November 2000 SEMA show in Las Vegas
This was my first time at the Las Vegas SEMA show. I met a lot of great people and saw a lot of cool stuff. Due to time restrictions I was unable to spend more then one day at the show. It truly is a 2 day event. I met Mark Stielow, Kyle and Stacy Tucker, David Pozzi and Scott Gilman at the Baer booth where the Tuckers had their Twister Camaro on display. What a beautiful car! The magazine articles do not do it justice. The Summit Quadra-Duce II was also at the Baer Brake booth. What a nice piece on engineering!

Kyle and Stacy Tucker were awarded the Chevy High Performance Magazines "2000 Chevy of the Year" in the Baer booth by Magazine editor Jeff Smith and  NHRA commentator Dave McClelland.


While at the BAER booth I checked out there new EradiSpeed™ line of direct OE replacement rotors. 

These are really nice rotors if you don't want to replace your entire brake system. Check out there web site. www.eradispeed.com

If you are planning on switching your entire brake system Bear offers many styles of brakes to choose from. I intend on going with there Pro+ system with the 13.5" rotor and 4 piston calipers in the front and the 12" single piston Touring system in the rear.

Baer's PRO+ system with reverse slotted rotors.

LATE BRAKING NEWS...
EradiSpeedÔ availability expands Baer's product range to cover brake performance from simple OE replacement rotors, to the most exotic road going brake systems ever offered!

Baer's EradiSpeed(tm) direct OE replacement rotors, feature LITE(tm) (Low Inertia / Thermally Efficient) Technology and are currently available for many Turbo cars including: Acura, Buick GN and T-Type, Honda, Pontiac Trans-Am, as well as Mustang, Camaro, Corvette, Viper and many other applications.

When more dramatic stopping improvements are mandated, Baer ClawÒ performance brake conversions deliver the proper solution. Systems with aluminum calipers in 2, 4, 6, or even 12 pistons are available with rotor sizes from 12" to 16" in diameter.

From the most modest to the most extreme, Baer offers systems for every requirement and budget. To obtain the proper prescription, call the "Doctors of Deceleration" at 602-233-1411.
