If you do ONE thing this weekend , PLEASE crawl under your dash AND make sure your rod from the BRAKE pedal CAN NOT fall out while going down the track… A very talented racer took a very WILD ride in POMONA and as far as the car , ….it didn’t end well ……

Not related to this happening since I don't know what happened but in the year 2024 I have it hard to understand that any racer would take a chance to race with a set-up like that!
Of all safety rules they put on us this would be the first to do something about and check!

Building a new car and just put the brake pedal and master cylinder in the car. I double checked it more than a couple times. One thing I worry about making sure that doesn't fail. Sorry to hear about the accident.

This can easily happen especially when using the Mopar style master with the pushrod that has a rubber/nylon end designed to lock in the end of the master cylinders piston. Never trust this !!! I know first hand.

Thank you for posting! I intended on putting this very subject on my off season check list and realize I did not.
