Road Atlanta Track Day
Sounds like a little more fast car excitement than bargained for.
That brings me to my next story. Chris had hitched a ride in some racing company’s 550HP Nissan 300ZX. When they were on the back straightaway, doing 110MPH, the brake line exploded, leaving them without any brakes. The driver immediately went into a gravel pit to slow him down as much as possible and then past the pit lane into the grass. Fortunately the gravel and grass slowed them down to about 60MPH and they were able to brake the rest with the E-Brake. It’s amazing how important one small braided steel brake line is.
