Default Where to get high temp brake fluid???

I've been to NAPA, Pep Boys, a Ford dealer, the Chevy dealer and no one stocks anything but DOT 3 - 4 brake fluid. Where do you road racers get the high temp stuff?
Thanks. Cire 96

DOT 3-4 is what you are looking for. The Ford Heavy Duty is good. Also check at BMW and Porshe dealers for Motul, but it's pricey.

The FORD HP DOT 3 is good fluid.

You are looking for a DOT3 or DOT 4 fluid.

I like Ate (Super Blue or Gold): Try a search on the internet for $9.95 or go to BMW dealer for about $19.95 or more.

The Valvoline stuff at PepBoys et.al. is OK, but I don't like that it comes in a plastic bottle, I like metal cans.

You can also get Motul RBF 600 at any motorcycle shop. About $10/half liter.
