Auto-x and brake fluid boiling...

[Brian O'Neill]

prob, not. there is a little drain, or vent hole
there. just from sloshing around turns. if your car
boils brake fluid at an autocross, thats pretty darn
pathetic. i was at one once, a stealth tt was there
and he cooked his brakes, at an autocross !!!! i was
in a gti, the brakes werent even hot yet !!!!! he had
to drive around in the mall parking lot after every
run to cool them down. damn american cars !!!
