Oh, you'll notice... Since your car isn't mini tubbed and doesn't have the monster lip, you may very well be OK. Either way, it's to late. ha ha

Well now that you got me all worked up about it, I probably will notice.

And I am mini-tubbed.

Here are the two tell-tale signs that you have knockback
1. when you drive your car and apply the brakes following a turn, nothing happens... until you tap the brakes a couple times.

2. When you get out of your car you need a new pair of pants.

There is also the possibility that you won't have any problems at all. Despite going to a floater setup in the near future, Steve doesn't have any issues with Bad Penny, and it's running manual brakes, tapered barings, and fixed calipers.

There are also anti-knock back springs available these days but it's always a good idea to give the middle pedal a little tap when going down the main straight before the braking zone to reset the brakes.

Yep, Stielow does this on the straights he said in Todd's knockback thread. If he's doing it, it must be the thing to do...

I tap the brakes on the main stretch every time as well. To be honest, it settles me a bit just to verify the brakes are there before I go to a 90mph turn at 135+mph A number of pros set the brakes the exact same way, it was just a few months ago I was watching the V8 Supercar races from Australia on Speed and they were showing the in-car of one of the drivers and every time on the long straights I would see him tap the brakes to set them and verify they were there.

cool car too!

Tim - that makes a lot of sense, and at those speeds, can ya really blame someone?

Thanks for the words.
