I was looking at an old race car that hadn't run since the 70's and saw a
device in the front brake line. The owner told me it was called a "Safety
Braker", that it was recommended by SCCA and that it worked like ABS.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Are they useful still? If so, are they
still made?

They are a mechanical anti-lock-up device that did seem to work. I still
have a couple on my shelves in the workshop. No idea if there are any age
related issues with you using an old unit.
My MG Twincam braked so well with the 4 wheel discs that I took the Safety
Brakers off to give the other cars with inferior brakes a chance....;-)
