Brake fluid...

is DOT 5.1 the best or can you get better? i've seen 600race fluid, is this better?

I believe not all fluids can be used with rubber lines - plus, racing fluid may not overheat very quickly but it may attract water more quickly. Which would not be a problem if you replace it before every race. It's best to get proper info on which fluid is right for you - I'm guessing it'll be 5.1
