Folks, I have access to mass produced brake shoes that sell for $50 an axle for fronts and $45 an axle for rears plus freight. They are similar to the old Mintex shoes and contain metal fragments to deal with the heat. I have tests planned in the near future for them but know some national level drivers that run them. They do require a bit more pedal pressure and need warming on the pace lap, but I've been told they work fine and are drum friendly.
The sets I received needed arching and that may be a challenge since OSHA banned the machines from general use in shops. That doesn't mean that you cannot arch them yourselves with a belt sander since it's not rocket science to do it. Just remember to wear a mask and do it outside.
If there is enough interest, I will outline a procedure for arching and place an order.
