What brake fluid are you running? What are the dry/wet boiling points? When did you last replace the fluid?

Red Line DOT 4 was put in five weeks ago. Boiling point unknown.

Edit: Fun video, btw. I'd love to run Laguna Seca.

Too bad. I did buy ducts.

No I did not. It was like a furnace.

Thank you all. I was hoping the steel brake line would radiate heat from the fluid. Rats!

I want to be able to stop after 30 minutes. What is next for me then?

If any of you are here, when any track event CFRA holds, I will gladly sponsor you as a guest. Laguna Seca was three times in two months then not again for a year.
