Coming home from gas station,got on it a bit went to hit the brakes to find out their was nothing there.Found out that the brake booster hose poped off.
Has this happened to anyone else and is this normal?
What can I do to stop this from happening again? Thanks In Advance

No, not normal. Did it work again after putting the hose back on? If it's old, the hose may have hardened, but since it's under vacuum it should still stay on. Is there any boost to the intake, or any backfiring? Replace the hose and hose clamps at a minumum, maybe even the check valve.

This is the second time,first time was in july on the track.Clamped where it come off the intake.This time it came off the booster side so I clamped that side.
No boost and car runs awesome.

The brakes should still work, they just aren't vacuume assisted. You would have to press dang hard, but they should still stop the same.

I'm reaching here but is it possible your engine is flexing so much that the hose becomes disconnected? Maybe your engine mounts have gone bad?
