The brakes held up great at the glen over the weekend! I beat the snot out of them and they kept comming back for more! Great products!
Sweet! That track is hell on brakes...and your car is rather...ummm...ridiculously fast! I'm glad they got it done for you! Out of curiosity, what speeds were you hitting at the bus stop!?!?
Let me know what you need guys. We now have a ton of options for both the front and rear of the C5/C6/C7. Whatever you guys are doing with your cars we have you covered!
No lap times. As you can see in the video. Way too many Porsches on track to get a clean lap.
Great riding with you. I sure miss the Glen. I have run Sebring and VIR is my home track now but they just can't match the Glen for high speed sweeping corners.
How many times have you been back to the Glen since we met there three years ago at the BMW event? Don't know if you heard or not but Kirk the guy in the black Z you were running with then sold his car and purchased a BMW race car and is into Club racing now. He scattered the engine in his Z at the entrance of T10 and he and 6 other cars who hit the patch of oil spun off into the run off area just to the right and a little behind where that Porsche was sitting.
It is hard to say for sure but it looks like at the end of the video one of the P car drivers committed one of two cardinal errors. Either trying to pinch his car in too tight exiting the turn or going to wide and trying to pull his car off the rumble strips on the right. Both errors result in a sudden high speed crossing of the track and impacting the guard rail on the left. A lot of people complain about no run off room but when a car does that it doesn't matter whether there is a guard rail or not as it is going to impact something at a high speed since there are trees about 30 ft past the guardrail.

Bill, This was actually the only other time we have partaken at the glen. It is my favorite track! There was a staggering 50+ cars in my run group. Over 200 cars in the pits
Can you share some info with us on the new Pro 5000R calipers and their possible use on our Vette's??? Ran across some info on them in Race Car Engineering and it looks like you guys have an awesome product that will be a good fit for the more performance oriented track user that is not interested in springing for the full race $20K+ pro level brake systems!

If your a fan of theirs on facebook they posted quite a few pictures of them at SEMA, but no real details yet.

I've seen the pictures etc just waiting on some solid information on pricing etc. Scremin Z runs the full bang pro Radicals and from what I have heard his brakes are amazing, if the new Pro 5000R calipers can be offered as a package at a reasonable price point that offers performance anywhere near the pro level Radical offerings I think that the guys at Essex are going to have a real winner on their hands!
