[QUOTE="kevinatfms, post: 16903901, member: 39344"] Welp, track day was a total fail. First session car overheated. Like an idiot i didnt fully bleed the car enough and a massive air bubble popped up. Second session i am pretty sure i blew the master cylinder. Going into turn 10 on Summit Main and the pedal went half way to the floor then to the floor. Ended my day after that with a spongy pedal and zero confidence the car would make another lap. Radiator worked after it burped once i got back in the pits from session one. Didnt have any overheating issues on session two. So i think that worked itself out. For the brakes, looked everywhere Saturday to find a leak or issues with the calipers or lines but couldnt find a single thing wrong with it. Worse is the fact that i went and drove the damn car and it felt fine! Stiff pedal and all. I assume that i pushed past a seal in the master during the track day with the heat that was being generated. New OE Ford Master cylinder is on order. Should pick it up tomorrow from Ford. Bummer that it ended my day early. Plan is to replace master cylinder, get my brake ducts hooked up(thank you @cidasmuth for the WorFab backing plates), increase the size of the plate for my air deflectors(local machine shop) and go to a higher temp brake fluid(SRF or RBF700) to cover all bases.
