Don?t worry, they?re safe and dry. OBTW, for inquiring minds, the weight savings was 8lb per side. And these are not the super lightweight brakes. They are definitely lighter than a stock rotor, but are still finned.

Well, I've had some ups and downs this season. For the most part, the car has been great. Apart from maybe one or two runs, the car has followed my ET predictions really well. As a driver I've sort of just been all over the place this season. But, for it only being my 3rd full season of racing, I can't be too unhappy with how I've been doing. I've definitely made some progress in my E.T.'s this season compared to last year. My best ET in NHRA competition this year has been 11.21, knocking on the .65 under mark. The timing of the Dutch classic this year could be a recipe for some fast runs. I'm pretty pleased with how the car has been running. I am aware of a handful of things that are making my car "slow," but for now, my budget has determined where I've spent my money with this project. The front discs haven't shown me any ET so far, but the car is much nicer to stage, and more importantly it stops much better than before.
