Track Wisdom

"Fluid fade... happens when the temperature of the caliper cylinder (or the piston) reaches the boiling point of the brake fluid and tiny bubbles of compressible gas form in and are diffused through the previously incompressible brake fluid. The pedal then goes to the floor, giving rise to frantic pumping of both the brake pedal and the driver's heart[...] Basically, if the pedal goes all soft and horrible you [...] have boiled the brake fluid. The only cure is to either upgrade the fluid or keep it cooler. This can be achieved either by increasing the cooling to the caliper or by insulating the caliper pistons."

-- Carroll Smith, Engineer to Win

No more boiled fluid at CMP.

I forgot to get back to you on those shields for the PBR twin piston Mustang/Corvette calipers.They definately work as I haven't boiled my fluid since I have used them which has only been twice at Carolina Motorsports Park.That's the track that has given me such problems. So thanks again.


UPDATE:
I was at CMP this past weekend and had zero problems.I never once had the feeling that my brakes were starting to give up. The temp was around 80 so it wasn't real hot but I made up for that by really hammering the pedal and the sessions were 40 min long.I went thru a set of front pads each day.As of right now it looks like I can put off that brake hardware upgrade that I have been dreading.
