Cheap & easy brake cooling mod

Do you have the ambient temperatures from each run around the track? I would think that with a large swing in ambient temperatures you might see data that seems nonsensical.

Do you have the ambient temperatures from each run around the track? I would think that with a large swing in ambient temperatures you might see data that seems nonsensical. Did you let the brakes cool to a certain temperature before each run? Perhaps measuring the temperature differential may give more clues to the effectiveness.

Also one other point -- are you braking exactly at the same point and for the same duration each lap and each session? Otherwise, how do we know if we are going as fast/braking as hard?

I think more data is needed. To the unproven eye however, it looks like this small pipe will have little effect on brake teperature.
