[Fot] Brake Fluid temps

[Kramer, Robert]

I mention mostly using Castrol LMA; I've also used Wilwood 570 Racing Brake
Fluid and it has a wet boiling point about the same as the Castrol stuff. Dry
Boiling Point: 573 F  Wet Boiling Point:  313 F

With all this talk about hub temps I thought I'd bring up the question of
brake fluid temps. We did a 24 Hours of Lemon's race and I learned that I
need
a higher temp brake fluid for that type of racing. I have mostly used the
Castrol LMA fluid which has worked fine for me in the 20 to 30 minute races I
do, but we encountered severe brake fade in the Lemon's car.
