Cobra's new brakes

The new brakes performed very nicely last Wed (June 6) at Pacific raceways. They felt better than the stock calipers which gave me enough confidence in the brakes to increase the speeds, especially on the front straight. However, I am going to try the Hawk DTC 70 pads because with the HT10's, I still could not get into ABS coming into T2, which tells me the tires can handle more braking force.

Here is a in-car movie of two of my faster laps:



Unfortunately, but somewhat expectedly, the Cobra still ran quite hot on the track, reaching 238 degrees after about 15 minutes of hard driving. So, we're going to install an oil cooler shortly.
