New rotors all the way around and new fluid and I have no problems anymore.

There were several of us who had these symptoms at the Canaan Valley meet, but it only seemed to be happening to the Pearlies (John H., Rufus and Myself). Thought the front end was going to come out from under the car. I haven't replaced the rotors, yet, but will before I do any more "mountaineering."
