Many good comments about moisture in the system. I also agree with checking how close the brake lines are to hot exhaust parts. One I didn’t see is pulling the parachutes before applying the brakes. I don’t know how much air space is in your brake fluid reservoir, but if the fluid is a little low and you pull the chutes, you might uncover the intake port on the master cylinder and push air into the system.
@jergunsjunk6 күн бұрын

@jdrissel6 күн бұрын
One way the old DOT3 fluid was better was that a little water didn't boil an push all the fluid out. But it was nasty stuff that ate paint, held on to water and corroded everything it touched. I have always wondered why we never came up with something that could just slightly raise the boiling point when contaminated that was not as awful as DOT3.
@Harry_Gersack4 күн бұрын
Good thought with the moisture and all that. BUT if this was the problem, he should have made FULL pressure when he initially hit the brakes. Then they would begin to fade. They will not act like they did in his case because he already had no pressure when he stepped on it. So the problem was already there before the end of the pass. You might be right with uncovering the port of the master cylinder. Although I don't think it was because of the parachutes. It probably was the other way round. Fluid gets pushed back through the acceleration. Depending on the design of the reservoir and if the port is in the middle of the reservoir or at the front. If the port is located in the middle, it can get uncovered by pulling the chutes , but the fluid level would need to be extremely low. I think it's more likely to uncover it under acceleration when you have the port at the front of the reservoir. But I assume the FIRST THING he did after he went rallying was to CHECK THE RESERVOIR. So he's probably right about the residual brake pressure causing him to drag the brakes all the way down the track. That caused his fluid to boil before he even stepped on the pedal. I'm almost sure the tbm rotors are just machined flat. OEM's manufacture their rotors with a little runout to push the pads away from the rotor when you'r not using the brake. Without this runout the piston gasket would be the only thing that pulls piston and pad away from the rotor. If the whole assembly is not absolutely 100% new and clean then the gasket will not have enough force to pull everything away from the rotor. Maybe there was moisture involved, but first of all there shouldn't be 17psi of brake pressure when he's going down the track. Especially with flat machined rotors that are not ventilated!

I had a seemingly similar intermittent brake failure problem on a car with no abs. However, it was at a low rate of speed in a rural area. Got the car stopped using my parking/emergency brake. Checked the fluid level in the master, looked for leaks, and couldn't find anything wrong. Cautiously drove the car home, and the brakes worked perfectly. Ended up changing the master cylinder because I didn't know what else it could be. This happened years ago, I,m still driving that vehicle and I've never had it happen again. It's definitely a very eerie feeling when you're trying to stop a vehicle, and the brakes don't work. I'm glad Steve made it out of that situation without much damage.

Kinda crazy Cleetus had a no parachute issue a few years ago when he did a pass in Tom Bailey's car and now in your own car you get the parachute but no brakes. Just glad that nothing seriously bad came out of that situation. Sounds like some water might have gotten into the system and that boiled off causing air in the lines

A stuck shoe or pad could have super heated the break at that speed. (not an expert but had something similar) Edit: This could have happend during the burnout, with the line lock on you would not have noticed.

In 1968 I had a '57 Ford that had occasional vanishing brakes. Wish i could remember what we did to fix it. Amazing what you can forget in 55+ years.

Brake fluid is weird in the fact that the higher the DOT number will increases the boiling point of the fluid. The draw back is that it becomes more hygroscopic. Basically it absorbs water out of the air. Since your car has been down for a while it has absorbed a ton of water out of the air. Also most painter run a high humidity in their booths. If you take a race car out of storage always DNR the fluid or drive at low speed for a while to boil the water out of the fluid be before you life counts on the brakes.
@fotogfitzfoto4126 күн бұрын
DOT 5 is Silicone based, and is hydrophobic. That's not to say that there might not be water in the system, just that, if there is any, it will be free. Whatever, it will boil faster than the brake fluid, turn to steam and affect brake performance ... but not as much as boiling brake fluid will.

Clean save Steve. Looked to be brake smoke for sure. That residual brake pressure at over 200mph would cause some serious heat/ smoke. Been there in my one ton hauling a loaded 40ft gooseneck down a mountain pass. Trailer brake controller fuse popped so only had truck brakes, and slowing from about 80mph to 40mph in maybe 20 seconds was enough my pads smoked and pedal was going further and further to the floor. Glad you're okay man
