Not my Evo, but John Mueller's Evo that Jordan Kent is driving in the SF Scca. The qualifing is Saturday, and Races are Sunday. I plan to goto the Races on Sunday. The Evo is racing at 1 pm on Sunday if anyone else wants to go and caravan to Laguna Seca I will be leaving Fremont around 11 am.

That would be cool, but not sure yet if I will have to work on Sunday or not. I'll shoot you a PM and hopefully we can all roll together. :)

apparently the stock brembos dont hold up real well under full out race conditions. Both evos suffere severe brake fade or failure and ended up off the course more then once. It looked like kent was holding strong in third behind the vipers for quite some time.

I really doubt Kent's car is running the stock brake set-up. I'd like to hear the whole story regarding the braking and off road excursions.

yep.. they were stock brakes, and i have pictures of them~! the red brembos were black. They put this car together in very little time to replace the last one... considering how much time they had i think they did pretty well. Im sure we will here about this more from a reputable source soon though :D

Wow....

I have no idea why RRE would build that car with stock brakes, as they have the big brake stoptechs for sale at their shop.....weird. But, truth is often stranger than fiction, even in the world of auto racing huh?

Not that dark but getting there. They are more a dark rose color.

I have brownbos after the EVO's first track event. Guess that means they're working. :)

road race for 30 minutes on stock brakes and you will go of course at least twice

Unowned
04-06-2005, 03:06 PM
wow!

Laguna Seca has a long stretch that the Evo was probably going 110 and then had to brake (on a downhill) to about 35 or less hairpin. Stock brakes over time won't recover from that torment.

it's not just turn two, it's the stopping for 11 then again at 2. just not enough time to cool
between those two HARD braking corners.

and once you feel the first bit of brake issues it becomes very hard to stay commited
going down the hill into 2

Track n00b that I am, I always tended to brake just a bit early for turn 2--ran out of courage I guess. Had a bit of brake judder by the end of the day from stuff being deposited on to the rotors, other than that the Ferodos held up okay. But again, being a newbie I probably only was driving at 7/10ths or so.
