...and that coming from a guy with a Brit car...doesn't that thing have finned front brake drums... (yes, yes, I know: the Brits invented the disc brake. Too bad they kept it secret for so long so the Yanks wouldn't steal it!)

Actually though, Jeff, I'd disagree with you on the wet v. dry; for race cars where we change the fluid often (one would assume), the "wet" rarely comes into significance. IIRC, the DOT ratings for "wet" are based on a test with the assumption that a car that lives for a decade without ever changing the fluid; I seem to recall the sample for testing "wet" is with the fluid humidified to something like 3.5% water!!!

Since I bleed the brakes every race weekend, I tend to personally ignore the wet rating. - GA
