drums and discs, my rant

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Matt; where do you get drums for $40? In my garage!!!
Since everyone is going to discs and tossing their
drums I get them for free. Some are good, some are
junk and some are like new (I have some 68 Ambos with
40K on em). 
Now don't get me wrong, I have nothing against discs.
But I am a cheapskate. I drink Hamms when every one
else drinks Corona. I refuse to pay a Valet when I can
park myself. And a Portland Road hooker does just as
well as the West Salem escort girls.
My point is that properly set up drums work just as
well as discs under the right conditions. The reason I
have heard that AMC did so well in their introductory
year of Trans Am is they had good disc brakes where
other had drums. They were able to drive harder into
the curves, brake later, etc. So yeah, if you are
competing, go for the discs. If you drive stop and go
alot, the same. Live in Coloado (Western, not
Eastern), stay with the discs. But to say that drums
are dangerous is just wrong.
And by the way, a lot of quarter mile guys like the
drums as you can dial in zero drag and run the little
drums. They only need to stop once, then cool
down........Russ; happily and safely motoring with
drums
