Great track to drive! Are you talking about turn five (depending on the keyhole being open) after the tight right hander at the end of the back straight (big hill up downhill left) or the nasty right hander after the esses before the downhill heading towards the Carosel? I was there the year that Rahal won a couple of days after Trueman died. Not a dry eye in the place!

Fred writes some good stuff. Even Carroll Smith said he wasn't going to bother on a brake book because Fred had already written the best one out there and he didn't think he could top it. With a little time you can take Fred's book and put together a brake system that will live through whatever you can throw at it.

Sad thing about Carroll Smith. I met him at the 86 runoffs in Atlanta. After I helped push his trailer out of the mud he autographed my copy of Tune to Win. A couple of years ago my wife put that very same book on the table at our yard sale for $1.00. Best buck I ever spent

'old' racers never die, they just build Cobras
