Scariest motorsport moment | Several years ago racing at the now sadly defunct Bay Park Raceway in my pre 65 Mustang. Really in the race and going real hard out, went roaring down pit straight, braked for the super fast left-hander after the start finish line and the car suffered brake failure, car turned sharp left and hit the huge tractor tyres that marked the inside of the corner! |
