No  problem with Corvair brakes, unless you are really serious about  
racing


Why do people keep saying Corvair drum brakes are not good for racing? Ask  
Ken Hand or Warren LeVeque, I'd bet they'd say the brakes are fine provided the 
 proper linings are used. I have kevlar in my autocross car and they are 
great,  but autocrossing doesn't heat the brakes very much.
 
lclc (aka Larry Claypool) had a LM convertible at the Carlisle convention  
with power brakes. I didn't drive the car but rode with him on the rally and the 
 brakes were exercized extensively. He said the booster came from a Camaro
