Re: Braking Problems.

Here's a trick from my racing days.  Every few races all brake friction surfaces are sanded down just a hair with a crosshatch pattern.  You can also sand the glazing off of the diisc/drum while you are at it.  Do it by hand and NOT a power sander as you don't want to take off too much or make flat spots.  I know this sounds crazy but it makes a huge difference in a small amount of time.
