crashes $200k custom built car because he didn't realize brakes were important.
This story is from a year ago, but I just found it, so whatever.
"It doesnβt take a degree in engineering to understand why riding nearly two-decade old, undersized brakes over several miles to constantly slow a 1,300 horsepower car is bad. Brake fluid, especially old brake fluid thatβs been sitting in equally old brake lines, can boil. And when it does, you lose your brakes. This is what happened to Stover and Davis, as the Comet lost its brakes at around 45-50 mph. Worse of all, it happened as they approached other cars stopped at a red light."
"The damage was pretty shocking. Despite the Mercury having four-point harnesses, both driver and passenger had opted to wear lap belts instead, which led to Davis hitting his face on the metal dashboard and Stover breaking his elbow."
Here's the video.
"too much grief has been put into this to put it into a wall, or do something stupid." - famous last words.
