Brakes at Track???
So I made about 6 passes at the track a week ago and I didnt notice this until about the 3rd pass. When I start getting on the brakes after I go through on the big end I started having some really bad popping noises from the breaks. The got it stopped every time but it sounded pretty bad. It didnt do it on the forst 3 passes which is what has me wondering. At first I thought it was the ABS and it very well may be. I went through at like 112 mph. Any ideas

are you feeling the popping in the brake pedal? would definitely check your suspension too.

Yeah its deffinitly in the brakes. Its only when I am on the brakes. If I let out of them, then it stops. As soon as I get back on them it does it againg. It finally stops at aroung 70 MPHish.

How hard are you getting on the brakes? It's entirely possible that if you're jumping on them then you're hitting them hard enough to lock up a tire activating the ABS.

I am not slamming on them or hitting them any harder than normal. Definitly not hitting them hard enough to lock anything up. Originally Posted by Fastbird

I drove it in today. Ran it up to 100 and stepped on the brakes just like I did at the track and no noise. It just seems odd that it didnt do it the first few passes and then it started all of the sudden. I was not hot lapping it either. Like 20-30 min in between passes, so the brakes had plenty of time to cool down. Brake fluid res is full as well.

Maybe your feeling brake fade/rotor warping? I would double check your suspension and drive line. Check U joints. Does it do it in drive as well as in neutral?
