The Rabbit made the trek to New Jersey's Waterfest event without a hitch.

On the way we actually stopped in VA shop to put on our prototype 330mm x 32mm Alcon 4-piston front big brake kit. Yes, we were so down to the wire in getting these finished that we ran out of time and had to install them on the fly. Well, they work as well as we'd hoped and we're very anxious to test the 355mm version and the 330mm rear kit that goes with it.

We installed the brakes in the morning, drove to NJ's Raceway Park in the afternoon, and proceeded to beat the hell out of them on the facility's short roadcourse. To the point, the Alcons are incredible. We got in about 30 or so laps and each one seemed to have us braking later and later. We cant wait to get the chassis properly set up, because with the power from the C2 turbo kit, the massive grip from those 265-35 tires, and these awesome Alcon brakes, our little Rabbit should prove to be a formidable track car.







The car will remain up north for a few weeks while C2 tweaks it for even more power. Rest assured we'll have a full report upon its return.
