    Hauling E85 to the track

    Supercharged 5.8L here. I run 93 now and I need about 5-7 gallons per 30 minutes. I fuel up after every session but sometimes, the non-racing clubs run "open track" days, 4-6 hours of green circuit. If I let it get below half tank, I come in.

    Race Brake Pads

    An incredibly happy Raybestos ST-45 customer here. I've been using them on my Mustang for 6+/- years. I just got a set of XP20s from Ken b/c I won't see a set of ST-45 until mid-March at the earliest. I usually keep a set "in inventory", but I haven't been on track since COVID. I tried the Glocs...
