Pulling to the right
Took the vette out for a little spin last night and when I was braking it started to pull to the right. It almost felt like just the right brake was engagning but not the left(driver)
Then after a few more miles the symptom went away- braking was even and no more pulling.
Is it possible I had some air in the brakelines? Not sure how that could have happened because I have not done any work on the brakes since I've had the car.
Anything to be concerned about?

I would check the entire brake system.. Mine did that, and I had a leaking caliper. Anyway, you probably need to check your brake fluid, and if it's not clear, flush it. I would bleed the brakes just as a precaution, as there could be condensation in the brake lines. If the car sat for a long time, it could be just a glitch.

Check the rubber brake lines
The rubber brake lines have been know to collapse internally. The pressure from the master cylinder will force fluid through, but, the pressure may be maintained in the caliper due to the collapsed hose. It will bleed off eventually.

Yes, check the rubber lines.
Better yet, buy a new set and replace them all.
If you haven't done it, it hasn't been done.
Rubber lines are good for about 10 years...How old is _your_ car?
