Some cars are going to need to bleed brakes several times over the weekend.The course is very tough on brakes.Dont forget supplies to do this and better yet change it before you leave town.

Mark,

What direction are we running the event on Sunday and will it be with the bowl or without the bowl?

And for those interested: I'll have a Power Bleeder and poly-line/reservoir system at the track, if you run into an emergency situation.

Note: I use Super Blue brake fluid, and there is SB residue in my Power Bleeder (lining of the bleeder). I'd prefer you to use the same....... but not required in emergancy situations.

Also: my HazMat disposal fee for your spent brake fluid is cheap :shock: :wink:

See you there!

I have about 4 small cans of brake fluid sitting in the garage. Will you take that?!!

If you have a fluid incompatibility you can bleed brakes dry on the motive power bleeder. You do this by NOT putting any fluid in the power bleeder and doing everything the same otherwise, except you need to watch the fluid level in your brake tank. Just make sure that your fluid level does not drop to low while bleeding. You can add fluid as needed depending upon the amount of bleeding. This will require that you take off the power bleeder a few times but then you do not have the issue of fluid incompatibility nor the mess in the bleeder.
