Wow... The reactions from all three of them are pretty good.

I wonder what their brakes are like. No doubt they were hauling some serious ***, but I'd like to think that a good brake set-up would have stopped them a bit better.

+1! deff controlled braking in a time where most would have lost their rides. the blue one was weaving inbetween cars as he was braking (most likely without ABS!) and that hawkeye had great control as soon as he hit that grass. insane vid!

Doubt it...

The reason the M3 and the old car were going so slow was there was already a track car with flashers on and the flagger. These 3 were just hauling so fast that when he came up on that, and everyone hit the brakes, they didn't have enough room to stop. Better brakes wouldn't have done anything.

They are just simply lucky once they lost control they didn't eat it into the wall.

I agree. I think that better brakes would almost have made things worse (increased sliding, spinning, etc.)

Threshold braking, I wish they still taught it in drivers ed. Back when I learned to drive the teacher taught us all how to do it, even if cars came with ABS.

Not so sure about that. The red STi didn't have any problem stopping and had full control of the car the entire time.

ya i dont think brake setups have as much an impact as much as threshold braking and brake modulation. just those two alone will make or break a ride or accident. IMO

I guess it really is hard to gauge the speed. Truly an, "OH ****! Time to stop!" moment.

Wow..most definitely a butt pucker moment :O

Yeah no reason to slow down or stop so hard right away, the cars in front are idiots you gotta think about what the guy behind you can see. You don't stop way before the incident so the guy behind has no idea its up there. Shieeettt. Essentially unless you are so close (incident is like a 1/4 mi ahead at least) that you are going to hit someone or join the crash thats when you go full bore on your brakes. When there is something way up ahead around the bend you don't go full bore and come to a stop with 1/4 mi of room+ to spare, idiotic.
