Well I guess that's that.

TRACK PREPARATION
The Boss 302 and Boss 302 Laguna Seca edition have been rigorously
proven out on race tracks. Below are recommendations for optimizing
your Boss 302 for a track day event.
• Change brake fluid to Super DOT 4 to improve track performance of
braking system (WSS-M6C65-A2), Ford part number (YS4Z-19542-AA).
None of the moderators on this forum are going to recommend anything less than that or what they consider safe. Is this "elitism"? Call it whatever you want but I call it smart. Just like me there are many members that had/have never tracked a car before let alone a heavy high powered car like the Boss 302. It's in your best interest, and everyone else on the track with you, to have your car prepared so it is safe on track. That means using high temp DOT 4 brake fluid. If you're not using DOT 4 fluid now I highly suggest you install some before your next track day regardless of your experience.
We're all here to learn as much as we can about our cars and have fun. We've been running a tight ship from the beginning and get many compliments from members about how useful the forum is and how mature everyone behaves. It's been rare that we ever have to edit or delete a post and we appreciate everyone's efforts in keeping it that way. The last thing the world needs is another "The Mustang Source".

Tucson302 said:Ok another dumb question, sorry I'm not mecahnically inclined, if you use DOT 4 do you chnage it back to DOT 3 for street driving? I ask because I have the distinct feeling that once I do Track Attack in August there will be this overwhelming desire to learn and do more events.
