At the big Triumph feature at VIR this spring, two guys from the UK brought
their cars over and raced. I think it was Bill Dentinger who said "If you
look close enough you'll actually see some Triumph parts". I was standing
in the paddock looking in awe at a box in which they had a spare rotor and
caliper. Humongous! The guys told me that they were parts from a Formula 3
car, and that to do a system for a whole car it ran around $3000. It sounds
like the system you've come up with is every bit as good and maybe better,
at less than half the price. That's the kind of project I love.
