Stuck Caliper?

I was at an airstrip event and was able to run my car 3 times, every time I got above 100 miles an hour, my brakes would start smelling burnt even when I was not braking yet. Took the car to the dealer and my mechanic and both said it was fine, however the dealer only took 20 minutes to inspect it...I get a lot of squealing from the brakes and the sound does not go away whether or not my brakes are cold or hot. Any suggestions?

warped rotors ? rapid cooling and heating will cause this condition and going from one extreme to the next.

You have a Manual Trans . Are you sure you weren't smelling the clutch ? Could have been cooking your friction material .
