Leading edge brakes, im not sure why they do it, but if Stotz racing is doing it the must be a good reason. Gotta remember tho these blokes arnt chasing secs or tenths of secs they are talking 100ths of a sec or smaller.

Only reason I can think of is that it looks like there would be clearance issues with them on the other way around?

I don't know what i am talking about but maybe it gets the center of gravity further forward? but i guess clearence as Tony said

Yeh I would go for the more weight forward theory. Brakes are heavy, man. [:o)]
