Hey mate,
Not sure exactly what you are asking.
1. You found a brake computation program on the internet and you cannot find it now?
or 2. You found a brake computation program and want to know who else uses it. If this is the case the link (URL) would be useful for people to refer to.

Am I right with either one of these.

Cheers,
Chris

hi kami,
I would recommend you buy a book that explains the brake system, that way you can make your own programs with either excel or matlab to do the same calculation seen on the mitchell software, that way you would be in better position to talk to the judges at competition,

As mentioned many times before two great books are Brake design and safety by Rudolph limpert or
simulation and modeling of dynamic systems by Dr. Bob Woods.

If you have any other questions i would be more than happy to help you out.
