[Fot] Race Car Brake Calipers

[Bill Tobin]

I went to 7/8 inch diameter rear wheel cylinders a while back and they seem 
to work well; a little more rear brake.
I have Good's front and rear hubs and Uncle Jack's spindles; feel safe with 
that setup. Also Good's dual master setup. And braided hoses.
I was out-braking a BMW 2002 last July at PittRace and felt good about that. 
We had a great race which I came out if front. I talked with the Bimmer 
driver aftter the race and we both hooted for an hour about how much fun it 
was. Good times!
