I guess I never posted it here,but when I was at Gingerman raceway at the Motorstate Challenge my brakes went away after about 8 laps and I almost crashed it. I never really put any importance on brakes before, well I do now!! To be honest , on a road course the brakes are as important,if not more important then horsepower(never thought I'd say that).I've tried to come up with budget answers to really expensive problems,but there is no getting around the lack of wheel /brake clearance.Scored the Baer brakes on the Vette Forum,but have to order different wheels to make them fit, $2900 worth of wheels. Moral of the story is, if you want run with the cool cars you have to drop some coin. I should still be under $15K (triple the original budget)but this should make the car at least somewhat competitive.Now all I need to do is make the driver more competitve,I have no experience on the road course and almost none in Auto X,but they were so fun, I can't wait to do them again,with a little practice and pointer from some of the fast guys,the car will hopefully get up to its potential.
