Quote: Although the Scamp had a fairly stock drivetrain, it did have upgraded wheels and brakes that most likely played a big roll in the event.
Tires yes. Brakes I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. It was a very short course.
What brake did the scamp have. Look like 11" rotor on some sliding piston caliper (stock or mustang 2 piston?) The drilled rotor would be worthless on that short course.
How would 9-10" drums compare to that kit though? Did slant A-bodies come with front discs as an option at that time? Granted it is a short course, would it be long enough for brake fade to develop in drums?
Not too bad. We autocrossed and short tracked the 62 R&D B-Body on 10" drums all four corners for 2 years.
