List:
although I had discovered the effectiveness of pushing the pucks back while
playing with drivetrain drag in my garage, I noticed at World Finals that
many of the other LSR bikers seem to have already discovered this little
trick. At least one biker on this list can probably even give you a pretty
close estimate of how many extra mph this trick will give, if he wants to.
I can't personally, because I never made a full-throttle pass without Bill
first pushing back the pucks, so I have no comparison.
Don't know if any of the car guys are doing it. You all have way too much
horsepower,(and training wheels)-- so who cares about a little brake drag on
a LSR car, anyway?

Glenn, On Russ's bike I got a big screwdriver and shoved the pucks back into
the calipers--he then had to pump the brakes to get pedal.. Skips car did
not have the check valve and I had to do the same pumping action.
There is probably a check vale that holds slight pressure on the rotars to
hold down noise on oem. wmts
