I should have the video of Sean's brake failure at pit-in -- going to go through it tonight and I'll get it posted up.
Here it is:

What was the failure mechanism? Proctor's was the brake push rod coming off of the brake pedal if I remember correctly.
I heard it was caliper bolt fell out. Don't know if it was front or rear. I have had issues with rear caliper bolts but have never seen a GM front caliper lose a bolt.Quote:

That is really similar looking to mine there. I guess he was okay?
Holy crap. I once missed a bolt on my Z06, but the caliper swung into the rim and still worked so I finished my drive home with mere downshifting.
I lost my right front caliper in R1 last lap going into 15Quote:

Glad it was just cosmetic damage Shawn. Had fun pulling the quarter out too!
Me too Al!
Thanks for all the help!
