Default Welds mustang

When I went to Texas World Speedway it rained all night
so at the Drivers meeting they said go easy as it was wet in places
and if you go off track it will be an effort to get you out

First session was the instructors and 3 minutes in one of them
buried his car deep in the mud. Then next session our local
Pantera guy runs out of gas on the high bank. What a way to start out

Bob

Last time I checked -- there's no trophies being handed out, or checks cu,t or sponsorship deals being offered --

Who gives a damn about another 3 or 400 rpm.... Car is already faster than all the other stuff on track with me.

Gregg,


With respect to you and all others involved in the most recent debacle (myself included...8 mos for springs?),

Let's try to put this past weeks diversion behind us and get back to joking and talking cars.

A while back after wildwood's master cylinder recall, I believe you ended up putting in a 1" master with bp20 pads and you had liked it. Which did you stick with on the car and which do you prefer? Have you noticed any more wear on the rotors with the bp20 vs bp10 with .8750master cylinder? I have a 1" on the car now with bp10's and also have a .875 on the shelf. I haven't run the car yet (will be next year at the soonest) and was wondering if I should change it first or try the 1". I do have the same aero 6p front and 4p superlites on the rear as your car.
