Thanks. I know it is really poorly laid out at this point. I want to take it a LOT further and maybe even develope a commercial brake program.

Engineer eh....... do you know the formula for calculating disipation of heat for ferious and non-ferious metals? I can calculate the temperature rise but do not have the formula for heat disapation. Many variables here so assumptions would ahve to be made. But I can give a worst case scenerio and then the user could go from there.

Any one have telemetry data for a popular road course from a Cobra? Rate of deceleration and speeds? How about I cook up a portion of the sheet that gives expected brake temperatures for a road course?

I need to retire
