1300 hp mercury comet brake failure crash

If my throttle were showing signs of sticking or I smelled brakes I would immediately idle to side of road take a look and assess and possibly get it towed back home.

My brakes are all new on my car, every component, but before taking it out of the garage I always pop the master cylinder lid and take a look at fluid level. Hobby cars that sit the majority of the time need extra attention and scrutiny.

But regardless sad to see that happen. Horrible situation.
