What kind of lines ? Metal ? Aluminum ? Braded ? Possibly cracked line , or fitting , everything thread taped or sealed ? Could be sucking air somewhere , especially if your still getting air ..

Aluminum hard line. Braided from frame out. Not getting any air on bleeders. Strictly fluid.

If you have a bad flare you could be getting just enough fluid to cause this on your aluminum hard line.

I can remember back to Danville, Il, them boys with them souped up Jeeps, probably had as much power, as some of the cars they were pushin, forget the brake, get a grip, and hang on, they were probably in the 40 mph range in the chute, instantly! Bob

Maybe its just me, and this rarely happens at local tracks, but often at Usac events, I cringe every time they get behind our cars with a atv/utv to push off. Not enough pushin power for my liking.
