I agree with Bill Spohn. I used my '66 MGB as my daily driver all over the
northeast US during the 8 years before I moved south. Took it on business
trips, fun rides, daily highway commutes, etc. AND raced it from '99 to '04.
I never had a problem with newer cars out-braking me on the street. And, I
was always able to brake later than most competitors on the track.
Other than new master & wheel cyls, rebuilt calipers, the only changes were
to go to cross-drilled & slotted discs, larger rear cylinders (for lower
braking pressure & thus less lock-up of the rear brakes) and semi-metallic
shoes & carbon Kevlar pads.
On both street & track the weakest link was the tires. And, I always ran
the best tires I could find in the largest size that would fit & meet racing
regs. It took effort to lock them up. But, I did it a few times.
