BUT NO USING YOUR BRAKES PERIOD.

THAT IS FAIR FOR EVERYONE !!!

Glad no one was hurt or their cars got wrecked.


Just My Opinion.
In the early 70's, you could go under the record(which was used to handicap) by a .1 before you broke out. But there was still plenty of braking going on. Impossible to enforce a 'no braking' policy.

It would be nice to 'legislate' some new rules, but I really don't see a workable 'rules' fix. The excessive braking rule is there, but rarely enforced.

IMHO
