Yes I had brake gremlins today but managed to get them working in the end. Thanks very much to Brian Walker for all of his help. Paul Masters (Jedi R1) and I had a good dice, just like we normally do. 40.99s is only just in the 40 bracket but it counts. Craig

Ian, I think I have worked out what happened on Timed Run 1 when I exited the hill with no brakes. I have to hold my hand up and admit stupidity.
I had binding rear brakes after practice, to the extent that the car could not be pushed in the paddock (it took several people to push it). I freed up the stuck pistons by winding them out with a special tool. I did this a few times and the pistons seemed free. I reckon that I arrived off the hill with daylight between the rear pads and the discs. I had not applied the brakes to seat the pads on the discs. Luckily a few frantic pumps of the pedal got the pads in contact but last ditch braking was so hard that I locked up and spun. Stupid and nearly very painful and costly. A lesson learned.
