A Car With A Mind of it's Own

First of all, please remember that while we often focus on winning the Chairman's Award, that it is the effort to win that matters. No one "loses" RCA... if you've worked your butt off all year in the spirit of the award, then you've already won before you even get to the regional. - dtengineering [more]

Re: A Car With A Mind of it's Own

A Renault going 120mph?! Isn't that an oxymoron.

I wonder what prevented him from either shifting into neutral or depressing the clutch? If he did that stepping on the brakes would have been a lot more effective without them competing against the engine. Also with the engine still running, although racing wildly, he would still have power steering and brakes.

Well, at least he was able to stop before the toll booth. He could have given a whole new meaning to the term "Speed Pass"!
