Pappy, it would need to move under it's own power to work the bugs out. Get that hot rod moving so we can have some fun.

I'm hoping one of the events has a drag race. It's definitely on the list of musts....

Greg, it wasn't just the master cylinder. Changing from the roller to tapered bearing and having Wilwood re design a retainer with more pre load certainly cut it way down. Between Frank and Wilwod telling me over and over that a 1" bore was wrong, I just didn't think it was going to make that big a difference. To be honest, it was a desperation move. I figured it would make some difference with the compromise of stepping on a brick. Now I'm out of excuses. Damn... I couldn't make the pedal move on the street and I could always simulate it almost full scale. I think it will a HUGE improvement on the track. I've never had good brakes on the track. I should say without a quick pump. Clearly in the Baer Speed Stop Challenge I didn't need to pump them.
The BFG's are one to stay until they are worn out. All the events are now 200 treadwear. The only idea I have is to buy a spare set of wheels and throw some A6's on them for local SCCA events. That would require trailering the car to the event and I'm not crazy about that. With two houses and some remodeling and repairs, that is not on the radar right now.
