At great expense :) Dave was using Brembo drilled brake discs. I am
thinking of drilling
the stock brake disc as a service.

BTW I had to drive my butt off to keep up as Dave Lemon qualified second
out of 49
drivers in the E production class at SCCA National Road Racing
Championships :)
Lots of fun sliding his RX8 around the on and off ramps :)

Paul,
Advice to me has been along the lines of - holes reduce disk surface area,
reduced surface area is less brake clamping area.
George (down under)

Yes but they are widely used in road racing with great success.
