So what's the diagnosis on the failed rear brake?

Thanks, yeah about the only thing that got hurt was my ego and just had to dig out a bunch of sand out of the bike. I have a couple possibilites of what went wrong but nothing definate. But this time I have a back up plan, I bought some new Tennis shoes and will use Fred Flintsone brakes if all else fails

Hey Jim,
took everything apart, the rear brakes were a little glazed but over all not bad, bled them, no air. Upon further poking around, found antifreeze came out from the over flow jug and appears it sprayed the swing arm thus also spraying the tire which would have caused the tire to just slide. Added another catch can and gonna try again this weekend. Upon checking with some turbo gurus, appears upon the top of the run when making most boost, caused the head studs to streach and caused enough over heating to boil over the over flow. So have a couple of scenerios of what could have happened but nothing definate.
Hey Jim, on a side note the tire I got from you worked great and held all 300 horsepower to the ground without a bit of traction loss.
