anyone else notice the brake set up on the drag blade?
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
What The...?
Thats the trouble with reality........not everyone participates
Yeh I would go for the more weight forward theory. Brakes are heavy, man. [)]
what bear said - thats the only thing i can think of... unless he likes easy access to those brakes...
Yes that's why they do it.quote:Bear Posted - 07 Nov 2008 : 23:32:28
