The turbos on those things are gigantamongous.
the who took these said that the trucks scared the fuck out of them when they passed on the first lap.

apparenty they water cool the rotors and when the air releases on the brakes, it also dumps on the rotors. i might go with them this year, since i won't get to go on the Indy roadtrip in June
Yea, it's pretty cool to see. Steam goes all over. When I saw them, it was an exhibition thing, so they had a little drivers conference thing before they went out. They said it was the only way to cool the brakes, otherwise they'd just glaze over rendering them totally useless.
I suppose it isn't a surprise, seeing as these things are heavier than the moon.
