Wouldn’t shutting it off in 1st gear with the clutch out slowed it down a bit? I guess maybe because I race, I tend to react to catastrophic situations a little quicker. Losing the brakes in anything is nerve racking, but losing them going through the traps is in the back of every drag racers mind and I think we are subconsciously prepared for it. I run a stick and have thought out the sequence of events should it ever happen. I also check the brakes at every oil change. And, I have an operating emergency brake that I always use in the pits and during transport. The video shows the driver coming in hot and, I’m guessing went into shock when the brake pedal went to the floor. I don’t understand how the driver didn’t at least put his foot on the brake when he started the car? Who DOESN’T put their foot on the brake when they start a vehicle?
