In the words of Monty Python "My Brakes are bereth of life" !

I really wasn't joking when I said I ran out of brakes at Silverstone

.

With with the material gone, I used the metal backing to try and stop, then I even tried using the caliper piston against the disc as it made its way through the brake, but that didn't help much either because the brake fluid fell out

-----------no idea why the car wouldn't stop, but brakes or no brakes, I'm blowed if I was going to pull off

Got a little write up in Autosport magazine, that left its readers in no doubt that the Civic only won both races because of my "issues"

You have heard the saying pedal to the metal, well this was pedal to the bulkhead

Well you got her back in one piece, didn't trade paint with any of the competitors, and live to fight another day

Very impressive you finished the race at all, and with the car intact, looking at those pads!
