Today we catch up with Roger Gomez from County Brake & Alignment Plus Mufflers in Montclair, CA.
Dissatisfied with the pads he was using, Roger made the switch to DFC 5000 ADVANCED Brake Pads. “This is the best product for me,” said Roger, adding that “no one likes to do redo jobs.”
According to Roger, redo jobs make you lose time, profit, and even customers. “I need a product that backs me up,” he says.

DFC 5000 Brake Pads Provide Top Performance to the GMC 2500
After testing hundreds of brake pad materials and evaluating detailed test results (including different outputs under different conditions, different pressures and speeds, and fluid displacement) DFCdesigned the 5000 Brake Pad Series.
The DFC 5000 Brake Pad Series is a vehicle-specific, application-specific, friction program developed to work perfectly as a direct replacement for your vehicle. That’s why each pad is specially formulated, taking into account the coefficient of friction and compressibility (which gives you brake feel), and engineered to have no noise and extended wear.

Dino Gets the DFC Active Performance Brake Pads Smoking On His Porsche Carrera GT
Looking for pads that are great for track days but also streetable?
Look no further than DFC Active Performance Brake Pads. This high performance brake pad works from dead cold to temps as high as 1300°F, with low noise and no brake fade.
So how do these pads perform on the race track? Click the video above and watch Co-Founder Dino Crescentini take over the Spring Mountain Raceway in his Carrera GT- stocked with DFC Active Performance Brake Pads.
Dino’s GT has been modified to carry a cast-iron brake system, and boasts 610 HP with a maximum speed of 200 MPH. According to Porsche, “The Carrera GT is a car that pushed technological boundaries beyond any supercar of that time. Its beautiful profile encompassed a staggeringly powerful 612PS V10 engine that was a direct descendant of the 10-cylinder race engine developed for the Le Mans 24-hours of 2000.”
“It’s the kind of car that will deliver the goods all day, every day, for the rest of its lifetime without hiccup or complaint”
Join Co-Founder Dino Crescentini as he cruises and bruises the streets of Los Angeles in his 1973 Alfa Romeo. Where did Dino find this rare car? And why an Alfa Romeo?

We recently caught up with Dino and asked him about his 1973 Alfa Romeo.
“The model is actually a 1300 GTA Junior. It is an aluminum-body version of the standard steel-body GTV. They only produced about 500 units of the GTA in order to meet homologation requirements for racing regulations.”
What fueled your passion for this type of car?
When I was a kid, my Dad had a trust-funder mechanic working for him that had a GTA that he raced that he would actually drive to work from time to time. My Dad usually worked late, so when I was at the shop after school, he would have Charlie take me home.
Charlie was in his 20’s and bit of a nut. When ever he had the GTA, he would take me home via the infamous Mulholland Drive, which was basically a 6 mile-long race track. Those rides home in the GTA were the most thrilling rides that anyone could ever experience, especially for a 10 year old kid. That is when I fell in love with the GTA.
It was also at this point of my life that I learned to keep my cool. You can imagine how I would react when my Dad asked if it was OK if Charlie could take me home! He had no idea, and it remained a secret for years.
Where did you find this rare car?
I found this particular car in Italy at a car show back in 2015, though I have had several of them in the past. I raced a GTA back in the early 1980’s.
What type of work have you done on it?
Being that the car was homologated for the 1300 class, the engine, though very high performance for a 1300cc engine, isn’t really that fast.
I built a vintage-specification 2000cc engine that was used in the Alfa race cars back in the early 70’s. It really hauls ass now!
Any fun facts about this car?
Being that these cars were homologated for racing, almost all of them were all hacked up and converted to race cars immediately upon delivery. What is really cool about this car is that it was never raced and kept in its road-going “stradale” (street) condition. As a result, it is very rare.
There are perhaps 50 or 60 of these cars in the world in this condition. The GTA is worth about $300K.
