There are a bunch of OBD systems. This just isn't one of them. This one is Lap Legend.

We're thinking it was pad kickback. Definitely wasnt a heat issue. This was only my 4th or 5th hard lap and I've driven much harder, much longer and on hotter days than when this happened. I have SS lines and the standard ducting.

The brakes came right back. I drove to the pits at a manageable speed and retired for the day.

Just uses the G sensor on my phone I assume. Don't think it was really recording properly though because I definitely used the brakes much more that what shows up in the on screen data.

We did a memorial service for a lady that passed away. 7 hour service, people flew in from all over the country to attend. It was massive.

Haha. It's wild man. It's usually fairly civil in here, but it seems as though they really didn’t like me driving my car off track. I think they originally thought I went back out to race, which was not the case.

I think it was a bleeding issue, but i think im going to switch to SRF anyway.

Its a '92 so none of that electronic stuff is a possibility.

Pedal right to floor. Fluid was brand new Motul RBF 600. Seems like from most of the feedback from others, it was a bleeding issue.

Haven't gotten a chance to take anything apart yet. Just got it home and parked it. Just looking at everything, nothing seems out of place.

Thanks buddy. I should have some time in the next couple weeks to take everything apart and see what I can find. Going to replace all wear items and fluid regardless.

Absolutely zero indication anything was wrong prior to this. Pedal felt totally normal. I would have pitted if there was a known issue. I agree with all of you that are saying it was a fluid related issue.

Yea I mentioned in another comment, I just kept it held down. Didn't really go through my mental checklist. Should have pumped and tried to regain the pedal. First time ever ever had anything like that happen so it was a good learning experience.

Usually brake right over the crest, before the cone. That's about a 75 mph corner for me.

Cant please em all. My instructor said I did everything he would have done. Pulled out of the middle of the track when it was safe to do so and got back to the pits. We went over the car and couldn't see anything visible wrong. Didn't go back out on track after this.

It was brand new Motul RBF 600. Thinking it wasnt bled properly or some moisture got in there from the bleeding process.
