They say bad luck comes in threes. That theory applied to us this past weekend when we suffered our 3rd DNF in a row, this time from a brake pedal going to the floor over 100 mph. The brakes were bled during our weekly maintenance on the car, and the pedal was rock hard, just what you want, and only needing to push it an inch to get full brake power. However on lap 35 of 150, the brakes started to fade, by lap 48 they were almost to the floor forcing me to pump the pedal to get any braking.
The yellow came out on lap 50, the first caution of the day. I headed to the pits but would need to stay there to avoid wrecking us or anyone else.
This week we will install new master cylinders. I believe strongly it has to be masters, and my son David agrees.
It was a tough night again but the work load won’t be too bad this week.
