Split Left and Right Brake bias
Got a question for you guys that are up on the road racing stuff.
I have a thought and I'm sure it's nothing new but thought I'd ask since I'm not finding much about it. In an AutoX or Road course event (SCCA Solo), why wouldn't a split bias left to right brake set work as a benefit? I could see using brake bias on one side depending on the turn being a benefit. You know, like a tractor. Brake late moving toward whatever brake bias works for the turn, ready for heavy throttle on exit. I'll be running a torque arm with Watts link so once dialed in, I should be able to get that torque to the rears. Of coarse the brakes (each side) would have to be split by very little so center could easily be found. Think it would complicate things to much? I felt like if I can figure out the face plated dog box (ordering a custom T56 Magum), toe/heal brake/throttle clutchless up and down shifts, surely split bias brakes couldn't be any harder to learn.The only road course experience I've had was years ago on two wheels so I'm a true blue newbie. I could've sworn one of the cars I looked over at the Pike Peak Hill Climb years ago had the set up I'm talking about.

In our neighborhood, 2 blocks down the hill was a gas station that (to me) all the cool car guys hung out there. 32 coupes, 33 & 34 Fords as well, a sweet 56 Ford Beach wagon that was setup gasser...
