ERA Brake Upgrade Questions

[Jim Holden]

Jose:

Maybe if you would stand up from your computer desk and go outside for a little walk each day, you might develope a little leg strength. At the rate you're going, your daughter is going to be wheeling you around in a wheel chair before too long.

Well that just earned you an invitation to the sensitivity classes several of us attend on Tuesday & Thursday nights.

You have to meet my good friend, Jose, from that little island somewhere in the Atlantic. His ERAGT has power brakes and he wanted power steering as well... and he may still get it, too. I told him he should simply automate the car completely and run it by remote control from the pits...

Power Brake and steering is called development. The ERAGT need power brake specially if you have big 13" brakes. Even my motorcycle has twin brembo brakes in front with ABS and stops without effort. You only use your ERAGT from the trailer to the tent. Anything farther you use the Slab Side ERA Cobra with narrow wheels that requires no effort to steer it.

Oh this is getting good! Where's the popcorn!! Heck I drive the both of your GT40's with a wooden hand brake if that's all it had! Besides, what do you need brakes for anyway, they just slow you down!

To add to this thread, I'm planning on running the stock Camaro set up on my car. We used to run the same brakes on a Imsa Challenge car. If you can slide the tires with the brakes you have they should be more than enough.

I know, I know, that's one thing you can't have enough of is brakes. I have the faith in Bob/ Peter's design I think it will do me just fine!
