Disc brakes can be a plus or minus in serious drag racing. Many have special ordered a disc brake car with drum brakes as the disc had a constant friction factor from the pads having tension on the rotor, while the drum could run completely without friction. May not sound like much but when you are after hundreds of a second everything counts.

Motown <img src="https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...eers.gif" alt="" /> </div></div> 2 of my 67 Z/28s and my L-78 Indy all had the disc brakes replaced with drums at some point in thier drag racing careers. The original owner of my 67 Z dragcar told me he gained .04 seconds by switching to drums. |
