According to the Roadster Factory, Hardy was losing his brakes half way 
through a race with some Morgan-8 system, or whatever it was.  I lost all 
brake with two different tow vehicles due to metal lines rusting through and 
failing.  While using a 1971 Chrysler Newport, I towed home from the Penn 
Ohio Truck Stop to Pittsburgh after crimping shut the right rear wheel brake 
line to correct a leak.  I still had to pump the brakes like Hell to get any 
braking at all.
