[Shotimes] RE: TCCA event review by Dyno Don

[Ron Porter]

If Dave would have gone with a set of $36 Aimco rotors from AutoZone, he
wouldn't have had issues like that!! 

Seriously, the only rotor-related issues on SHOs at track days that I can
recall were all with the high-$$$ aftermarket rotors. Even Dave's earlier
set that was cracking around the holes at Blackhawk Farms a couple of years
ago.

Fraking well done man,  I love it.  That's how you are supposed to use
your brakes!!
