March 15, 200620 yr #31 Mate all I have heard is a "rumour" that they are putting together a series like the "old days" and it will rival AVESCO as far as TV rights and exposure is concerned. It will be a credible alternative to the V8Supercar Circus.I don't know what cred it has but it came from the mouth of Harry Firth. I don't think he is one to "fabricate" something like this so I do believe the planning must be somewhat advanced for him to be spruking about it. I certainly hope it is true anyway.Please God...Oh please, please, please! I will do anything to get such a series going again! ...That's it...I'm off to find some kittens to sacrifice! Anybody know the Dark God of MotorRacing? Lumpy Lumpen, just go sacrifice yourself at kittens I`m sure craig could help you out.

March 15, 200620 yr #33 Author Quick question for you what brake pads do you use on the car in conjunction with the DBA brakes?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>We currently use an Endless brake pad MA45 compound (I think) they cost $2500+ a set - you can get them from Competition Friction in the ACT.We have also used Scandinavian Braking System (SBS) dual carbon pad ~$800 to $1000 a set - available from Ric Shaw performance in Five Dock, Sydney.We have also tried Carbon Metalic PFC01 and Ferodo DS3000 and DS2500 compunds.The Endless pad has the best wear rate - and OK feel, the SBS has best feel (and OK wear rate), the PFC01 & Ferodo brake pads are not as good in both feel and wear as the SBS.For a good overall pad I would recomend the SBS. SBS make a dual carbon (race only) and a carbon ceramic (road & race).I hope that helps.
