I had heard about that from a local racer who also told me that he yanked the brakes off after he needed to stop suddenly and not able to because the brakes didn't have the heat in them. He had mention what a pain carbon fibers were IF you didn't absolutely need them. If you used them like on a 200 mph plus car, they were great, but not for anything where you need to jab the brakes to avoid breaking out. (I know, the dreaded index racing talk)

I like the genius that thought Bill didn't pull his chutes on purpose. I thought reading was fundamental.

Fundamental - yes.
Fun - sometimes.
Mental - not always.
