ABS anyone have a system yet?

Abs would be much simpler if you had steel rotors but you don't. The easiest route would be to swap out steel rotors and matching pads for track days. The rest of the time the carbon will work great. I went off track at Gingerman when they locked up at the end of a straight and slid thru the grass on one of my qualifying laps for motorsports challenge but nobody saw me so I didn't get black flagged and just kept going. The problem with the carbon brakes is when you really heat them up they get grippier to the point that the grip can double during one hard stop. So your foot is in the same place on the pedal but suddenly it like like you really stomped on the pedal. To counter that you start trying to gently lift your foot. As most know you need to be concentrating on lots of stuff when you are trying to go fast and adding that to the equation makes for slower times. Stielow has done ABS on Red Devil but I don't think he wants the liability of giving that info out to copy. What if it fails at the wrong time ?

Thanx for your input again Charley. I do like your rotor idea! It just would be great to utilize the ZR-1 setup. But if its not safe its not going to happen! So were going with the manual setup to see what happens ????
