I will cut and paste the email I sent Pierre:

Greg installed new front pads last week Tuesday, he called me up and said" my car is pulling HARD to the right when I brake.." I say, "sounds like your left front caliper is sticking." I drive to his house and sure enough the left front caliper is sticking. We thought we fixed it and the car was stable under braking all week. We get to Sebring on Saturday and he's going like a bat out of hell, then on his 2nd to last session, last lap of the session he goes into 17 @ 125mph.. We were doing this all day so it really wasn't a big deal.. He straightens up brakes hard..oh ****!! no brakes!!! Pump repeatedly, keep aiming at the apex, massive understeer kicks in and he ends up in the tire wall before the bridge @ 30-35mph.. Minor cosmetic damage.. We get to the pits and now he decides to inspect his brakes, right front= metal on metal, left front metal on metal!! 3 day old pads!! We decide to swap back in his stock pads for the ride home, no problem, we do the right front cool, left front..oh.. the piston is frozen.. His left front piston was frozen up and he dragged the left front all day and overworked the right front and had one massive failure in 17..Now the mystery is, how the hell did he not feel his brakes deteriorating thru out the day???

One more reason to get a dentist mirror and inspect pads between each session. Also helps to see into those little areas you can never quite get to... best $2 spent at autozone. :-)
