Attention EVERYONE. I had a near Peter Biondo/ Woodro Josey top end crash in Ennis, TX LODRS DIV4 this past weekend. The master cylinder rod that attaches to the brake pedal (the factory style that has a standard clip style retainer) came out when the clip fell off. No brakes! Thankfully the Texas Motorplex has a long shut-down area and I ended up in the sand trap just feet away from the net.
I am posting this for the same reason Woodro Josey posted his...to REMIND everyone to climb under your dash and check for this. We are going to modify this to have a lock nut on it.

I was lucky and sustained no damage.
