These are some of the pictures I took when DD was here
DD began in the class room....
|
|
|
We moved into the garage
The best part of this entire visit is the actual application of the bias setting demonstrated by DD on a Formula Russell car in the shop |
|
|
|
DD shows the MTPs first hand!
Every year DD has been able to instruct the MTPs on the value of not going over center and even pedals when braking. |
DD expalins it all..
Here DD explains the advantage of mechanical force and reviews the science in the selecting of a master cylinders by size. |
|
|
|
Diego paints it on...
DD has Diego Valverde apply the multi colored paints that are used for temp measurements in testing |
Meanwhile up front...
DD explains the different colors and their meanings... as the gang learned heat is the biggest issue in braking... |
|
|
|
Temp tape too!
Here you can see the temperature tapes that are used in testing applied to the hubs and rotors |
Temp tapes in a handy package
Temp tapes are used to take temps in the feild... as PF goes farther in the CART team list MTPs will olikely see more of these tapes |
|
|
|
Tapes in place...
In checking these tapes later we found the hubs and rotors stay cool!
LIKE AROUND 230 DEGREES F
|
Many thanks from the MTP!!!!
From all of us at Jim Russell Mechanics Training Program a big THANK YOU to Darrick Dong and Performance Friction. |
