I just took it down to Kent, the only man I trust to look under my hood let alone drive the car. He tooled around for a bit and told me that something is wrong with it. LOL, i knew that... He says everything right for normal brakes but something in the ABS is wrong.
BTW, I missed the race, which sucks.

I had this same problem on a Jeep with drum brakes in the rear. Turns out the rear wheel cylinders were clogged up inside. They weren't leaking, but they were clogged up with junk. I would replace them anyways.
How did I find this out? I found a dealer who had a Hunter B400 brake tester. This thing is really incredible. A very very expensive machine, but well worth the cost of the test. It will tell you how your brakes are working and produce a report for each individual wheel. In my case the front were doing 90% of the braking, with the rears doing 10%. Not good.
On Hunters website you can find a local dealer that has a B400. In my case I had to drive 80 miles to get there, but it was well worth it as I was at a loss as to what to do next.
Here is a link to Hunters B400.
