Very rare right? This anomaly occured at Second Creek Raceway in Denver CO on Nov 2 during Solo I (trials). This guy's brake set-up is Goodridge line, Hawk HP+ and DOT 5 fluid. Amazingly he said he still had brakes. Of course the foggy weather helped illuminate the rotors. Just thought I'd share.

 

Wow...I tun the same set-up & I've never seen that yet....Guess I'm just not pushing it hard enough

 

Nice.

"Uh, just normal street use.
So, I can get a warrantee exchange right?"

 

maengelito and I did that to his Integra (ironically same color and same wheels) at Summit Point a couple weeks ago. He has a couple blurry pics, Ill let him post them.

Because, based on the pics, it only happens on Black cars.... haha

 

My favorite race pic was always one of a Porsche 935 at Daytona at night. All you could see was a slight outline of the car like a shadow on black, the glowing brake rotors, the two glowing turbos hanging under the motor, and flames out the exhaust.

But my wheels aren't bronze so it doesn't work... must be a manufacturers defect anomoly.

 

Not uncommon on stock cars with no ducting.

Watch any races with showroom stock cars or equivalent NASA classes.

I race in PS and PS2 classes and the rotors always glow during the instant replay.

 

A couple of the H1 cars were glowing braking into the turn Maengelito's car is on at summit on the 1st/2nd. Evans car was the one I noticed the most. Sorry, no pics.

Do you have that pic anywhere?

 

I can't remember if I saw it in a magazine or on a poster. It was probably 15 years ago, before everything was in electronic format. I'll take a look and see if I can find where I saw it and if they have it electronic. It was a great pic and I want a copy anyway now that this thread made me think of it again.

 

durring bedding, i've seen ds2500 ferodo get the rotors glowing on rsx as well as glowing rotors and flames from hp+ on 91 civic (stock 1.5l) so its totally possible.

 

My personal highlight was getting black flagged at Summit for throwing VISIBLE sparks during the day. The Captain got it on film and showed his classroom students.

 

I posted a vid of me throwing sparks at autox during dusk last week

Why were you black flagged Matt? What did they say to you?


Stephen &lt;- who loves glowing rotor pics

They thought my brakes were on fire. This was YEARS ago with OE Nissan pads.
