Glen, I believe my breaks are adequate for race
purposes but not adequate to stop the car dead if it
should fall off a jack with the engine running while
in gear. If such were to happen, the car would travel
a short distance before I could stop it. People are
always standing near cars, especially if the engine is
running. I just think potential exists for someone to
get hit by an uncontrolled moving race car.
