Richard where do you watch nascar? on foxtel?

sorry for the months late reply! but yeah. I watch it on fox sports.

last night saw the mexico city round. jp won and ambrose was 7th or 8th. good to see him doing well in the busch series too.

forget jp spining pruett, the best bit was pruett smashing into montoya for some revenege whilst they were on the victory lap!! never seen anyone get nailed after the checkered flag before... fun times.

Just to set the record straight....... Ambrose races in the Craftsman Truck Series and the Busch Series. Number 59 in the Busch series. He was racing in the Mexico City Race that Montoya won over the weekend. Ambrose was running 5th at one stage when i saw him. He ended up 8th.

Ambrose is a full time driver in the Busch series this year, truck series last year. He is hoping to qualify for 2 Nextel Cup race this year as well. Ambrose's entry into NASCAR combined with the fact I just got Foxtel has got me right into it. 8th is an awesome effort considering he was 5th when he got spun round on lap 64 and pushed back to 24th... he passed 7 cars on the final 2 laps. After 3 races this season Ambrose is currently equal 5th outright in the series and top rookie (above Montoya) although its a long season, 35 races!

As someone who thinks WRC is the supreme of all motorsports I used to think the circle racing was just stupid, and it kinda is. You gotta think of it as a drag race... but instead of being a quarter mile, its 400 miles.

    • It just occurred to me. The way I am asking for increasing bite as I slow down (ie more bite the more time on the brakes), that is actually sounding like less initial bite, and hence the bite would feel to increase.

    • Actually I need to book the V37 for a test day, who is running it? And yeah just let me know if you are down night before or after and we can kill some beers That is my super power
    • Sorry, I must've not been clear enough. On my 350GT, the pads originally on the car created dust to high heaven, and did not squeal at any time. I got new low dust pads, that created absolutely NO visible dust, that squealed when cold.  It wasn't  the initial bite, so much as an increase in braking, without extra brake pedal pressure, during a single brake instance. I had to lift off a little as my speed decreased to zero. Loved it! Now on my 370GT, I have to press a little harder as I approach zero. Not hard, just harder. I am too lazy and live in a city block with no room or tools to do it myself, so I would be paying someone to do the switch I looked at the three offerings by Intima, and one of them had a Features line that caught my eye. "Strong initial bite with continual rising coefficient". The problem is that this is on their "Trackday, Time Attack, Sprint" pads, not their day-to-day pads. Its possible that JAX installed track day pads on my 350GT, I just don't know. But I was pretty clear I did not track the car and drove the streets pretty gently. https://intimabrakes.com.au/home-corporate/intima-rr/ I'll send them an email and also check if other pads purport that behaviour.
