Title: Brake Man #2 Pads
Post by: Andy S on June 20, 2012, 09:26:09 am: Does anyone have any experience with the #2 pads from Brake Man? I haven't heard of many people using them, but the description says they're good for flat/tight asphalt bullrings. Wondering if anyone's using them and how they work compared to the #3 or #93. Thanks!

If agressive is what you are after.

No personal knowledge though

We're currently running the #93 pad, but my driver's looking for more bite at a flat 1/3mi asphalt track we've been going to lately. I was also talking to Chris at LRC today and The Brake Man's coming out with a new #84 that might be what we want. Will update when I try something new!

Go to www.RPMracingca.com and search porterfield.

I also have a real aggressive front pad for roadracing. It is usually to aggressive for circle track, it might work good for you.

It is more aggressive than the #2 is.

Is there a listing on your site for them?

Post by: Andy S on September 27, 2012, 10:11:03 am: We switched from the #93 to the new #84 a few races ago. We've since run a 3/8mi semi-banked and 1/3mi flat track (both pavement), and my son loved them. They gave him what he was after - the ability to drive deeper into the corners. Lap times also agree, with our fastest laps of the year at both tracks...picked up a tenth, or so.
