Tomas,

These statements were contained in an article entitled "Outlaw Brakes -

Titanium/Ceramic Rotors" written by Mr. Robert Eckhardt.  The one page

article was printed in the May issue of "Circle Track" Magazine.  Circle

Track is an American magazine whose primary focus is NASCAR type (i.e.

roundee round) racing.  It is very technically oriented and often times

contains very interesting and informative articles about new products that

often times can be used on any type of racing vehicle.

I will try to get permission to reprint the article in an upcoming POCA

Newsletter.  Hopefully you are or will become a member of POCA.  We already

have quite a few Swedish members.

Bill

To all and Shane in particular



The claim that each weight saving on the wheel equals a ten times higher

saving on a non-rotating part sounds unreasonable to me. Could someone

please

post the background on this?
