[Land-speed] Brake Master Cylinder

[Jimwprice at aol.com]

Pete Prentice used the brakes on the 500 car at times while at full  throttle 
to get the car to hook up with the track .   I don't know if  he did it at 
the salt or just at Mirage. He still holds the El Mirage  record at 312 so he 
must know something.  
 Brakes on streamliners have historically been plan B when the chutes  failed 
and need to be as good as can be obtained.
