(meaning when they get hot they still stop good) the only things they do bad are heat up more, and not last very long. this only is an issue at the track when you use them over and over and over to slow from 130 to 60 over and over for half an hour. they get really hot and warp rotors. even more then stock pads, because when the stock pads get hot they fade and you come in, when R4s pads get hot, they still stop you fine, so you stay out and get then EVEN HOTTER and warp rotors) that's when you need R4 pads or PF-90s. >From: "Joe Dyer" <joedyer@home.com> >Reply-To: "Joe Dyer" <joedyer@home.com> >To: E36M3 <e36m3@bmwmpower.com> >Subject: Re: [E36M3] Re: Autocross Brake Pads >Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2000 18:22:59 -0500 > >Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2000 16:27:22 -0700 >From: "Joe Dyer" <joedyer@home.com> >Subject: Re: [E36M3] Re: Autocross Brake Pads > >Attaboy, Vern!

Thought you all might be able to identify... Dave -----Original Message----- For Some Men, the Love of Cars is Boundless "Before the disease developed to a moral infirmity, financial commitments, taxes, grocery accounts, store bills, dental holdups and so on posed no problems and were taken in calculated stride. With reasonable planning, there was enough accumulation for a sense of well-being which only a major catastrophe or serious illness could penetrate. But now? Corners are cut in all directions. Any major expenditure not related to exotic machinery is heartily resented, tax and other major obligations are carefully projected, occasionally a stock dividend is sold off instead of being plowed back, and a few stocks are traded to effect a net cash position - under the fanciful, tongue-in-cheek ruse that fine old cars are also a good investment, although paying no cash dividends. Instead of funds being accumulated to bank or invest, anticipated income is carefully projected to cover either commitment for a new car, restoration of one in hand, or earmarked for the chase in running down a new love. I am an automobile Don Juan because I love 'em all. I have only to lavish my energies on one piece of pre-war coachbuilder's dream, and another charmer makes a fool of me". - Vojta Mashek

Hi Steve, I will be there starting on Friday the 8th and leaving on Saturday the 16th. I am running in A-Stock with my co-driver Ralph Elder. We are running the Pro Solo Finale and the Solo II Nationals. We will be pitted with one group of the 68 San Francisco members that are going. IMHO, A-Stock is the most competitive class at nationals. There are 11 current or previous Solo II national champions in the class. There are only 11 trophies available. So, that most likely means several national champions are going home without a trophy.
