Dang, that's speedy! Thanks for posting the report. Sorry to hear about the DQ, but congrats on the breakthrough. Best of luck in Texas!

Damn that's bad luck.

Lennard Zinn had a column about this recently, including the need to swap front and rear braking in those circumstances so neither one gets too hot, of course you may have been doing that and still had the pop.

That is good advice from Leonard. I was probably 70-30 front-rear because I didn't want to skid the rear on a curve.
