More likely the balance bar caught on something. I’ve had it happen on Peyote.

> Yesterday while driving the GT6 home from work I took the ramp off the Interstate rather briskly (as usual) and when I got to the end of the ramp and tried to stop I was a bit surprised to find out that I had no brakes. Luckily there were no other cars in sight and I cruised through the stop sign unnoticed. I then tested the brakes gently and was able to get them to work. After deciding it was somewhat safe to proceed I drove up the road only to have the front brakes grab and not release. I pulled over to find smoking blue front rotors. When I opened the hood and looked around a bit I heard a CLICK and saw the front master cylinder move and the brakes released. Could this just be a simple matter of one of the master cylinders getting some corrosion inside and sticking? This car has a double master cylinder setup like many racecars have with willwood cylinders and a balance bar. It has been working flawlessly for several years but has been parked a lot this summer and not really driven much at all lately.
