Talking about brakes on my resto thread got me thinking about when I REALLY learned how important stopping is. In the late 60's my friends and I would have late night high speed ( relative ) "road rallies " around the hilly, brick streets of Pittsburgh. It was also when I learned how good a T-bar front suspension is. At South Hills Mall one evening my friend got into a conversation with an off duty PGH cop and the "paddy wagon" Ford vans they drove ( back when the engine was between the front seats ). The cop said with how close the streets were the vans were fine because nothing except a motorcycle could get away from them. Naturally we set out to disprove this. My friend had a 62 Dart and set up the hinged license plate with a selonoid to flip it down with the throw of a switch. Of course your's truly had to ride shotgun. The cop was wrong. I also learned how important seat belts are !
