You guys may want to think about re-reading this whole thing. a. I said, I have had trouble stopping at a track that I did not know the run off was so short at ( I coasted a long way before attempting to slow down). I had to slam on the brakes at 140 mph causing fade ( or what I thought was fade anyhow). b. Our car weighed in at over 3500 lbs when this happen. c. Our car now weighs ALOT less (letting us use smalled brakes without any extra problems). d. I’m not worried about brake fade in the least bit. It seems everyone else is. This whole thing started because someone said I could not possibly experience brake fade from one stop. I guess Its not possible so it must have been something else… ---
