Hey Dave,
Luck? Is that what it takes to stay in clean clothes at the track? Why
didn't someone tell me before now?? Where can I get some and how much does
it cost??? ;-) Darn, and here I was thinking that meticulous
preparation and attention to details was all I needed...
For my rookie year, I certainly got more than my share of greasy
fingernails trackside. But, let the record show I NEVER blew an
engine! Now, at Savannah I'll bet I could have blown that one pretty easy,
but that is whole other story...
Speaking of brakes, I am running a stock dual circuit TR6 master cylinder
with no booster. I think the car stops OK, and I can modulate the brakes
pretty well. I'd think the booster would make it much more difficult to
obtain consistent threshold braking. Then again, at the end of a 20 minute
session my legs are tired!
Has anyone used the setup I am or something similar and then switched to a
dual master cylinder setup with adjustable bias like a Tilton? Do they
really help you stop that much better? I realize the safety aspect of
having two master cylinders sort of speaks for itself...
As always, thanks.
