    Default Left Front lockup on Entry

    We were practicing our 08 Mastersbilt Sunday and noticed on entry on a super dry black track the left front would lock up if i rode the brake in , anyone have this problem or have had it? Setup was 500Lf RF is dual stage 500/450(primary) with Integra High Rebound, Lr225 Rr250 54-55 left, 55-56 rear, 180lbs LR. Two 25lbs leads high in the rear one over rearend and one right above LR and one 25 behind LF. car drove well but i imagine keeping the LF spinning is always a good thing. Wondering if maybe gassing up the LF shock could help?
    Any input would be much appreciated!

    Check to see your balance bar is set correctly. When you have pressure on your brake pedal the balance cross bar should be straight across. When foot is off brake balance bar will be crooked. Had this happen to me. Visit Tilton site for setup help.

    Bias adjustment dictates angle.

    Guess I should have added , balance bar should be straight across , with brakes half way between full front and full rear ( balance bearing centered). This is why I referred him to Tilton ( tech. )

    I think a warped rotor may be the suspect here. Easy enuff to check. Some pressure gauges would very telling if rotor is not warped.
