Thanks Hib,
We met at the Gathering West and enjoyed the tech sessions. I was pounding the brakes really hard and late . The fluid was contaminated and was really softening up after about 10 minutes of track time. The instructors were really impressed with my capability and gave the nod for me to go solo, but the brake fluids just where not ready for any more abuse. Plus we don't trailer our cars do we! I don't use the brakes in the corner at all, only prior to entry and may be a smidge of trail braking if my entry is too fast. I use the throttle to assist in turning the car and get to the point of a 4 wheel drift. then soft shoe (throttle) the exits to minimize rear wheel spin. The auto cross really is my problem. The point and shoot is fun but I have to control mistake correction. The Zr1 really can cook the rears if I don't pay attention to the exits. And when I am in correction mode anger can make me forget that soft foot.

Since its a 91 I don't remember if I need to pulse the abs to get it flushed. I will have to read the manual.

BTW what was the software scan product? easy something?
