Good to hear Tony. Brakes are a good thing to have- lol...

Redstuff pads? Good choice.

How did the new brakes treat you this past weekend Tony?

When you were screwing around before runs started, it looked like you were giving the brakes the business, haha.

For sunday they basically made me worse, but that's because I wasn't used to them at all. Now I need to learn how to actually feel the brakes and how they/the tires work at higher temps....not just ram the pedal to the floor, but once I can do that I'm sure they'll be plenty of help over OE.

Tony- Brian Wiles once told me brakes are a sign of weakness. Go big or go home- lol.

Brakes... brakes? Oh you mean those things you use to stop the car at the end of a run. Yeah I used those once. Then Marcus called me a... Well thats not really something you say in public, but it was not nice and I have not used them since...

How many classifications points are you penalized for brake removal? +3 maybe?
