I had a rear brake pad fall out of the caliper at the end of Thompson CT main straight. The piston shot out and I lost most of the fluid. I don't know why but I did a brake check from 110 down to about 60, then went for the brakes again after a second and I had literally no pedal. Straight to the floor.
That was easily top 5 scariest things I've ever experienced.
Turned out I received the wrong rear DBA rotor and didn't think anything of it when I installed it. Premium vs Limited = limited is thicker and vented. I received a premium rotor. I'm dumb for not questioning that but I just wanted to get it out on the track. Really really stupid mistake.
