Attention Stock/Superstock competitors..

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!

Don’t be surprised, they are out there…in the other lane, sharing the track with you ….

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.

Bickel makes a brake rod assembly with a snap ring and retaining plate. Well worth the money and effort to install

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.
