Putnam is East of Indianapolis, IN. Turn 7 will test your brakes.

To the question on brake seals: I have never found any that last with hard track use. The seals on Porsche/Brembo Big Reds never lasted more than a few weekends. Keep a can of brake clean and clean the pistons BEFORE you retract them at pad change time. That should keep the bores clean.
