Some numbers to share with the group.

The Reno Tahoe group were at the Fernely-Reno Race track this past weekend. Julian (aka Joules5), Larry Stock and I were at the track. 4.2 miles and 23 turns, with elevation change. Each group ran 15-20 mins.

Julian's green car was seeing brake fade after 3-4 laps. Rotor temp around 400 front and rear. This is with a stock setup.

I have aftermarket calipers but a stock solid rotor on the rear. I was seeing temp of 325 on the rear rotor and 280 on the caliper. To contrast, my front brakes which is PPC cross drilled vented rotor was a high of 180. I did not feel any fade on the rear but it was getting close. Changes to brake bias did not affect the numbers.

So the iron will hold the heat, and getting ride of it is a trick.
