Late To Grid: E22: Mike Puskar - Carbotech Brakes
Episode description
We could have talked with Mike for hours! Braking is such an important topic and Mike provides some great insights into what drivers and racers need to know about how to get great braking performance.
Mike started racing in 1982 and raced in the Playboy Escort series, he has two class wins in the Longest Day at Nelson Ledges Road Course and won the Kryder Cup.
Carbotech Brakes was born out of necessity. A Corvette racer needed better braking options and started developing a friction material in his garage to give him the brakes he needed. In 2006 Mike and his family bought the company and they have never looked back.
Carbotech's customer support is second to none. Mike and his team are always answering questions and on many race weekends he's at the track helping clients. They can even make one-off sets of pads based on what you need.
We talk about brake fade, bleeding brakes, torquing lug nuts, lubricating contact points and so much more.
This is a must listen episode!
