Rich, it is not a theory...it happened to me! This year at BG going through tech the tech guy wanted me to take the hand brake out....we discussed and he said ok but be ready too if someone complians.

First pass 6.67-204 pulled the chute, hit the foot brake....nothing, pumped....nothing by now I'm 1/3 through the shut down and still going prolly 170? Got on the hand brake and safely stopped. If I had not had the hand brake, 2nd system, I would have crashed! The second chute would have gotten me maybe to 80-100 by the time I hit the trees, pretty sure an undercover doesn't like trees at 80-100 mph, lol!

Bottom line, a line shook loose from tire shake and if I had not have had my hand brake the car would have been wrecked, ? on if I would have been hurt.

We need 2nd independent brake systems MANDATORY if over 200 IMO.

Thanks to the Tech man for letting me slide, he saved my car!!!! And maybe me!
