I wouldn't be feeling old, some of the TR6 "weekend warrior" racers down
here can relate some good stories about the red mist settling, the right
foot decending, and then the mist lifting very quickly when they experience
terminal brake fade.
But then again, brakes only slow you down, if the intention is to go as
fast as possible, who needs brakes ? Right?
