I hope you do make it to Bonneville, we're starting to get a pretty good crowd. I want to see that baby run the mile.
Yeah - If you are interested in MPG over everything else, stick with the tiny front brakes and step up to vented to allow for better fade resistance. Anything bigger starts to get heavy real fast. I'm sick and weighed all the suspension parts... Vented fronts should easily keep up with that 54hp diesel too.

And I really do hope to make it. I'm currently swamped with trying to get the rear end done so I can get the LRR tires on the rear before my 2-week road trip to Colorado next week. Once i'm back I can focus on what it would take to run at Bonneville.
