NOW, STOP IT! - Enginetics Brake Corporation announces its new lightweight billet braking system. According to spokesperson Jeff Solomon, the new system is designed for superior feel and feedback for all Briggs Classes on both road courses and dirt tracks. The new brake is the smallest, lightest weight system ever developed, with performance to go the distance with driver adjustment for pedal travel. Enginetics’ new master cylinder has also been successfully used with Briggs, Yamaha, 80cc Shifters and 500cc Outlaws. The results have been the same as with the lightweight system - smoother more predictable braking allowing for deeper entry. For more information: Enginetics Brake Corporation - Dept.
