I've been making some progress on getting the brakes fixed on the red
race Spit, and if I bust my butt for a bit it may be ready to run at
the March 29/30 IVR weekend.  If not then definitely the April 12/13
race, or the enduro in mid May.  We shall see.

What sort of brake fluids are folks using?  Killer has DOT 5 synthetic,
standard rear shoes and Hawk Black fron pads.  The brakes are good for
about 16 - 17 minutes in one of our 20 minute sessions.  Gee, I don't
think I've ever had the red car out on course for a full 20 minutes,
other than the enduro last year when the brakes caused problems.

Is Castrol SRF the hot ticket, with a wet boiling point just over
500 degrees?  Is Castrol LMA sufficient if kept fresh?
