just had a very interesting conversation with Paul at Turbo Action about a racer who went off the end of gainesville raceways track. said he didn't have any brakes. thats after he traveled nearly a mile and went over the berm and upside down in a lake. and I remember a few cars on this board that crashed because of no brakes. there is way to stop the car, lets see how many people know how? just say yes if you do and no if you don't. don't get into how and why yet. Paul went around to a lot of local drivers and he was surprised to see how many didn't know what to do. I passed the test this may save you some day. should be interesting.

Close your eyes and turn hard to the wall? Pull the hood release to act as a front mounted chute? Open the door and drag foot? I can think of some more that may be less risky.

go for the guard rail and scrub off speed after clicking off the motor


Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

I would say if you have a low band apply VB jam it in low or second (if not LBA). But after that all you can do is shut the car off in gear.

Jump out quickly, run alongside the car yanking out the valvestems to deflate the tires, hop back in and wait as the increased rolling resistance brings it safely to a stop?

There are only so many sources of drag and friction available besides the service brakes... No one mentioned emergency (parking) brakes yet.
