QTM pavement midget brakes

17racer · 7/13/12, 2:39 AM

Were having some technical difficulties.
Some questions may seem dumb but please humor me... either we have a bonehead mistake or a failed part somehow.
Cant get enough front brake relative to rear brake. In fact we cant keep pedal. All lines were re-run... and it like the bias valve doesnt do what we are accustomed to. So in reading up on it... the open loop vs close loop which occurs and 50 psi pressure.... at the line? the front? the rear? All? anyone out there know about these? We want to run with more bias to the front but it seems that lever doesnt allow this? like its opposite... like the mc's are reversed/ relative to bias lever direction??? So its like the urethane bushngs inside they speak of, could be giving up? We just dont know what to do and we race saturday.
Call us.... 253 359 4039 if anyone knows where to point us..

We would like the pay special thanks to Michael Lewis at TSR and to Jerome Rodela at QTM for helping us to figure out our brake dilemma on our new midget. The time and the expertise shared by both guys was absolutely great and top notch information. This has allowed us to be ready and very confident for preaparing for todays race. Hopefully this leads to a successful maiden voyage today for the 5m of Mitch Hoffses Racing / EBAY Motors / Ridgecrest Homes / Beast Esslinger at South South Speedway in Washington with the WMRA Midgets.

Thanks guys!

Hopefully more to great stuff to follow.........
