[QUOTE="roushraven, post: 2363677, member: 4808"] So now you want to qualify your statement "REAL road racer" to mean only "Pro's"? When you say Pro's, do you give consideration to the fact that the 2002 Ferrari Championship Team, FIA World Championship Rally Cars, NASCAR, Champ Cars, Formula 1, and almost the entire field in CART use cross-drilled and/or slotted rotors manufactured by Brembo. There is no need to battle this point, because I agree that while the drilled rotors look cool, and that they are acceptable for some applications, they really are not that abundant in the racing world. Race teams use them occasionally for a few reasons: 1) they throw the rotors away after each race, and the surface cracking around the holes never get to be a problem. 2) they can use a lighter rotor for light duty applications (ie. winston cup superspeedway rotors, drag cars, 300lb sportbikes, rear brakes in some world challenge touring cars, etc. I'm at work and can't post pictures but I can show you just as many examples of real race cars in professional series racing using cross drilled rotors as you can show them without. However, to say or suggest that it never happens is absolutely untrue. -RR [/QUOTE]
