A terrible practice day with car issues. But a fantastic weekend with late rain for Race 1 and a very close Race 2. After a solid start to the season I am now 3rd in the championship.
The pads and rotors will wear down over time depending on number of heavy braking zones at your local tracks. Changing brake pads and rotors is an essential maintenance task to be fast on the track.
Replacing the grease in the driveshafts is part of the maintenance program to help prolong the life of these units and prevent failures at the track. All you need is a few simple tools and some high quality grease.
A good annual maintenance task for the Spec Racer Ford is replacing the brake caliper seals and pistons if needed. Good brake maintenance is the key to having car control in the braking zones and being fast.
Rain forecast for the weekend with races on Saturday and Sunday. The SCCA Majors Western Conference at Thunderhill consisted of 13 Spec Racer Ford Gen 3s and 8 Spec Racer Fords.
