All was fine until we were rocking the car, and a carbon brake fell off....

And a picture of a partial cabon disc....

These things aint cheap,and they are supposed to be the best available ??????

That would really offend me if I had had to buy them to keep the car legal.

better place/time to find out than at the top end at 150mph when you stomp on the stop pedal

Not cheap no, but how old we're they? How many runs? How many runs with tyre shake hammering them?

For once, Upatdawn makes a decent point, better to happen in the puts than at the top end grabbing the brake and only one side working...

st happens and being expensive goes hand in hand with running top fuel...

I understand it was better that it happened in the pits, Im just amazed it happened at all tbh.

They have been known to fail before, fatigue plays a large part on anything tf related.
As dan said, they are not for the faint hearted as everything is disposabe in an instant due to the stresses they go through.
The chassis regularly get front or back halved due to fatiue, and by regular it can be as often as every season....
