Livestream SOON: Drilled & Slotted Rotors For Daily Drivers

Join the experts at Tomorrows Tech at 1PM EST on Thursday, May 12 for this live event sponsored by Summit Racing.

It is impossible to determine who was the first person to drill holes or cut slots into a brake rotor. But, they changed the brake rotor game forever.

In a one-hour Live Stream sponsored by Summit Racing, our sister media outlet Tomorrow’s Technician will cover the benefits of drilled and slotted rotors for the track and daily drivers.

The experts from Summit Racing and Tomorrows Technician will answer the following questions:

  • How can a lighter brake rotor outperform a heavier rotor?
  • How should a hole or slot be drilled or cut to prevent cracking?
  • Can the holes or slots increase or decrease braking performance?
  • What are some of the best-looking slot and hole patterns?
  • Can a drilled or slotted rotor be machined on a bench lathe?

O’Reilly 2021 School of the Year instructor Jack Stow and his classes at CTECH Auto will be joining in to ask the experts questions.

Join us at 1PM EST on Thursday, May 12 for this live event sponsored by Summit Racing.

Ignition System Tests You Should (And Shouldn’t) Follow

Do your technicians use tests that might give inconclusive results or do damage to the coil or drivers inside a module?

One of the most basic circuits found on every gasoline-powered vehicle is the ignition coil. This transformer takes low-voltage, high-amperage current and changes it into high-voltage current. It has two windings that are not physically connected. What connects them is magnetism. The primary creates an electromagnetic field when system voltage is applied. When the power is turned off, the magnetic field collapses. The energy from the primary is transformed by the secondary windings into high-voltage power that can jump the gap between the electrodes of the spark plug; this is called inductance.
