[Fot] Brakes

[Bill Babcock]

More likely the balance bar caught on something. I’ve had it happen on Peyote.

Luckily there were no other cars in sight and I cruised through the stop sign unnoticed.  I then tested the brakes gently  and was able to get them to work. After deciding it was somewhat safe to proceed I drove up the road only to have the front brakes grab and not release. I pulled over to find smoking blue front rotors. When I opened the hood and looked around a bit I heard a CLICK and saw the front master cylinder move and the brakes released. Could this just be a simple matter of one of the master cylinders getting some corrosion inside and sticking?  This car has a double master cylinder setup  like many racecars have with willwood cylinders and a balance bar.   It has been working flawlessly for several years but has been parked a lot this summer and not really driven much at all lately.
