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.
Kruel,

The temperature was pretty consistent from 52 early morning to 70 at peak. It became cloudy and north winds picked around noon. Showers were present on the last run. On the asphalt, it gane about 30F from 45 to 74f at peak.

On the braking note, i was in the advance group, with no passing regulations (besided basic pointing). These guys are pretty good (track junkies), so i didn't lose or gain any noticeable time when being passed or me passing them. Whatever the traffic, i ran between 2.02 t0 2.13 each laps (actually i spoung out on an ran a 3.05 on 1 occasion in the afternoon).

Cheers,
Phil
