    The caliper-to-bracket bolts came loose. I installed the caliper just two weeks ago and noticed that it did not tighten like normal. I still thought that everything was safe, so away I went.

    I think the rough curbing at the Glen had something to do with the bolts loosening. The previous tracks that I've raced at have curbing nowhere as rough as the Glen's.

    No, I did not use a torque wrench when I installed the caliper. Next time I work on my brakes, you can be sure I use that wrench! I learned my lesson and thank God because my incident coulda been real ugly...
