I feel sorry for you guys...
why, b/c we're using something that works?

Shannonvilles harder on brakes than most tracks. Ford stuff is cheap and works well enough.

You really are an eeim...

BECAUSE, you do no have a track that is so demanding that you have to upgrade to a full-blown race fluid or you will boil the fluid in the calipers. You really need to open your mind to other possibilities...

It had nothing to do with overkill, which by another name is called safety margin.
It had nothing to do with you having something that works, that's great!

You think Shannonville is harder on brakes than Mosport?

Brake fluid, sure. Clutch fluid is too easy NOT to do yourself.

Besides, I'll be changing the tranny fluid soon anyway so i might as well do the clutch while I'm down there
When are you going to work on your car? I'll need an oil change soon.

Since my friend's shop closed down, I'm considering DIM.

wasn't this my point....that it would depend on the track?

No shit sherlock; that's why I said I feel sorry for you guys because I don't believe Shannonville is as hard on brakes as The Glen... And although it can be scary, driving on any track that is that demanding it is fun.
