Rear brake 996

I am at a loss as to what caused this, Was out on thé local track this morning had done a few laps with no problems, Tyres had just warmed up nicely, was on my way down the back straight coming up to a left hander, now i am not sure if i touched the back brake leaver or not ( i dont normaly acvtualy think about it) anyway back wheel locks up solid leaving a nice strip of rubber on the track i clutch in thinking its an engine problem thats locked the back end, but back wheel is still locked on solid stop in a cloud of smoke the rear disc is actualy smoking.

We get the bike off the track and back to the pit lane, up on the padock stand and the wheel turns freely brake leaver depresses and returns as normal.

So does anyone know what could have caused the lock up and what i should be checking for ??
