I saw the promoter tell a kid in Vintage class last fall that he needed brakes...course that was after he almost skewed the cement wall on turn 3, in practice :(
  They play an integral part on the real short tracks,and drums don't work as well as disk.
 A Penton with disk brakes,  

mongrols rule ;)

Raymond,
Back in the DAY! Not a single short tracker had brakes, just a compression release. Why do you want to stop anyway?? Just hold the throttle wide open and go bay go!

Raymond,
   If it a "Mongrol" you want why not find a old Astro or a Red Line ,Trackmaster frame and put the KTM motor in? Compression release going into the corner sounds so cool though!!!

Back in  the day they could retard the timing a smidge too.
 But didn't those Harley and Indian motors start running back wards when you let off the gas too ;)
