[DeTomaso] Brakes!

[asajay at asajay.com]

This brings me to an interesting question.  I just got my Porterfield  
R4S pads for the Pantera.  A note on the invoice says the R4S pads are  
-not- for racing use.  So does that mean sanctioning bodies won't  
accept them? Or does that mean there is a specific performance  
characteristic that is not suitable to the track?  If a person wanted  
to autocross their driver Pantera, would these be the wrong pads to  
have?  And if so, what would be the better recommendation?
