Engine problem or excessive braking

CBS · 03-22-2011, 01:24 PM

Sherman or Tommy hit the brakes.....very unusual.......I think the oil just got up in the breather while braking lightly......

(that was a struggle....)

And Joe....what kind of comment was that....sometimes I get afraid and stop early so I don't go off the end....lol

No offense, but until you have been run over by some one using up his brakes at the top at over 150 mph (for any reason much less trying to get a win), dont make STUPID comments...its aint fun, ask me how I know...

I Have been there. I couldn't walk the next morning because I was so sore. So I guess I'm more qualified to make "STUPID" comments than any of these other idiots making comments.

Like I said no offense meant, and if you have been a "recipient" of someones excessive braking and losing control then you know how I feel...

I'm not saying that locking up the front wheels doesnt happen, I've done it but not on purpose, it was more track conditions...but the guys who do it on a regular basis and brake slam with no regard to safety, I have no respect for, regardless of what they have won or not won, and I dont care if they have 50 Wallys...

I agree with Dave, doing that is a total disregard for safety. I've seen this happen too many times. Several times with very serious results. Is it really worth it????
