Actually there is no substitute to good brakes period! Probably the most important component there is on a race car!!

Dear RJ,


             You trouble maker. ;-)   I am older and slower now and I
increasingly enjoy this quote from the movie Kelly's Heroes uttered by Oddball, the Sherman tank commander: "We like to think that we can get out of trouble faster than we got into it." 

             Although it is not completely applicable to brakes, there is no substitute for really good brakes on a track, especially if you're an *amateur*!


                         Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles
