People jacknife bigrig trailers with ABS all the time. They put these stupid lights on the sides, so you know the ABS is working as the trailer comes around to say hi in your mirror. I hate ABS. I also hate traction control--it's great for destroying brake rotors so you don't have to learn to modulate pedals with your brain and feet. I've got to be anti-tech somewhere in life . . .

I really need some Dirtfish training.

Check the NASCAR and TA2 cars running 15" wheels for reasonable brake sizing that kills (and relatively low tech).

Charlie and Jack ran the car for years with guest drivers that seemed to think they were great.....Not sure what my point is but I’m on board with little to no bling and parts that work over looking the part. I guess I’ll know more after the weekend, I do know he’s not making parts for the street scene.

Any thought on ABS?
