No ABS and heavy front bias (rear drums) leads to frequent lockups and flat spots.

Even Chris Cobetto corded a Hoosier in one small bore race.

Front brakes are from an Accord wagon, which makes the bias even worse. Pulling up the handbrake a little bit makes it a little better, but the car really needs rear disc conversion.

Amazingly fun to drive and very good lap times, though.
