	Banks Brake - Why Add an Exhaust Brake?
		Few things can be more terrifying to someone driving a heavily-loaded motorhome or a pickup pulling a trailer than a long downhill grade that progressively overpowers the vehicle's braking system as the driver struggles to keep downhill speed in check.
		Brakes are, after all, simply mechanical devices designed to convert kinetic energy (the vehicle's movement) into heat energy, thus retarding or slowing the vehicle.
		Most such brakes are very elementary and use a simple on-off switch to trigger a solenoid or a vacuum actuator to close or open the exhaust brake valve—essentially an all-or-nothing braking device.

	How to Bleed Brakes - The Right Way
		The role of the brake fluid within the braking system is to transfer the force from the master cylinder to the corners of the car…and a vital characteristic of brake fluid that allows it to perform its task properly is its ability to maintain a liquid state and resist compression.
		The term "bleeding the brakes" refers to the process in which a small valve is opened at the caliper (or drum) to allow controlled amounts of brake fluid to escape the system.
		But for the average driver – whose driving style is less likely to induce brake temps as high as those seen on the track – the costs of the fluids and potential wear-and-tear factors upon system components may justify the use of a more conservative fluid with a lower wet boiling point.

	Car Bibles : The Brake Bible
		As the brake components cool down, their ability to absorb heat returns, the pads cool off which means they have more chance to heat up again before the resin vapourises, hence the next time you use the brakes, they seem to work just fine.
		Standard brake rotors are cast in a single piece which bolts directly to the wheel or drive plate.
		Squealing brakes are a sign of one of two things : the friction material is all gone and you're jamming the backing plate against the brake rotor, or the fit of the brake pad against the caliper piston isn't as snug as it could be.

	STANDARD RALLY RULES
		Penalties for arriving early or late at open controls shall under no circumstances be cumulative; that is, open controls shall be operated so as not to require or permit contestants to compensate, in succeeding sections, for any penalty they may have incurred through arriving early or late at a previous open control.
		Open controls shall be located on the right side of the road and so positioned as not to create a traffic hazard.
		No open control shall be positioned so soon after a congested area, a heavily traveled road, a lengthy no passing zone or any other condition likely to delay rally cars as to deny contestants adequate opportunity to recover all time lost as a result of such conditions.

		The Brake Man is among the most knowledgeable sources of information for improving brake systems, while supplying high quality brake components, and most importantly, a reliable source of information on how to make the system produce the best results.
		If you graphed the brake torque from the front and rear brakes and they were in the proper distribution under all varying line pressures, there would be no need to install any additional valves.
		A disc brake system, however, cannot tolerate this kind of pressure, as it would cause the pad to rub the rotor even when your foot was off the brake pedal.

	Why the rotor is so important - RacingBrake.com
		Therefore the brake power required to stop the vehicle is directly proportional to the vehicle weight thus if the weight of the vehicle is doubled, the energy of motion (converting to heat) is doubled.
		The amount of heat generated by brake applications usually is more than the rate that a brake mechanism can absorb and dissipate, this will result in brake temperature rise, In normal brake applications the time interval between brake applications (brake cycles) allow the heat to cool off.
		Increasing the holding (thermal) capacity means enlarging “sink” size, but in brake rotor instance it was impractical as it would also increase the rotating mass, which slows down the acceleration as well as deceleration and is not a desirable solution.

	Changing Brake Fluid (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		When you push down on the brake pedal, oil stored in a reservoir (fig 1) is pressurized in two cylinders (directly under the reservoir) and forced to all four brakes where the cylinders there under pressure push the brake pads on to the brake rotors thereby slowing the car down.
		The oil in the actual lines to the brakes is where the worst oil is. This is the oil that sees the highest temperatures.
		Drive the car slowly at the start and repeatedly test the brakes before attempting normal driving.

	Safety Office - Training
		If you see flashing lights, vehicles ahead with brake lights on, children or animals near the roadway, cars getting ready to pull out of side streets or driveways, or traffic lights that may be getting ready to change, be prepared to brake.
		Night driving is more dangerous than daytime driving for the following reasons: you cannot see as well; there are more impaired drivers on the road, drivers are frequently tired and less alert; and they can be blinded by headlights of an oncoming vehicle.
		Drive with extreme caution for the first 10-15 minutes after it starts raining, as rain can combine with oil and dirt on the road to create an extremely slick surface.

		All brake fluids commonly used in automobiles sold in the United States, are regulated by the department of transportation (DOT).
		If a brake fluid is truly a high quality fluid, the volume needs to be the same size, or nearly so, whether it is at rest, with no pressure, or under maximum racing pressures of 1500 PSI (Pounds per square inch).
		Unfortunately, since many of their brake systems are composed of components off of other vehicles, the additional problem of the wrong brake fluid makes many of these cars very unsafe.

	Taking the AMG Challenge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		One thing I learned within three laps is that you can't just get in the car and drive like you would on a freeway — it's all about driving in a groove, hitting the turns just right, accelerating at the right time, letting off the throttle at the right time.
		Though the standard CL suspension was tweaked to AMG standards, it was still a very smooth ride and the acceleration, well, let's just say if you ever want to be thrown back in your seat when mashing down the throttle at 100 mph, this car will do that for you.
		Open lapping is like autocrossing, but much more spread out and on a racetrack — which gives you the opportunity to hit much, much higher speeds, that is, if you have the skills to pilot a car going that fast.

	Unbeknownst To Many Vehicle Owners, Brake Fluid Does Wear Out, Larry Carley, Brake & Front End, April 2001
		Most brake fluids usually surpass these standards, but it's important to know what the minimums are because of their potential impact on driving safety.
		Another method of checking brake fluid is to determine its moisture content and boiling temperature using a tool called a "refractometer." This is a precision optical instrument that uses the fluid's "refractive index" to reveal its condition.
		Promoting brake fluid changes for preventive maintenance is a hard sell, no doubt about it - but it's a lot easier to convince a customer his brake fluid needs to be replaced if you can show him the fluid is badly contaminated with moisture.

	Ram exhaust brake
		An exhaust brake uses a butterfly valve behind the turbocharger or in the exhaust pipe to restrict the flow of exhaust gas.
		At a Cummins open house (1996), Cummins service people installed one on their truck as a demonstration and told us that there was no power penalty because the restriction is not significant with the wastegated turbocharger.
		A few miles of driving and periodic stops to adjust the throttle position switch with a screwdriver were all I needed to set the brake sensitivity.

		While this new twist is a welcome one, it isn't nearly as fleshed out as it could have been, and the game's generic approach to the actual driving doesn't pick up the slack terribly well, either.
