I know a lot of people want to accuse us of rushing the blazer and causing this problem, but the brakes were done on this thing about a month ago, you guys saw it on video. A poor decision was made to run with the brake pedal while missing a crucial part, and this is what happened. We're just lucky he's ok, lesson learned, do not skip corners on BRAKES of all things. We're all not happy this happened.

[@fopeezy3097]

My brakes went out on my 86 foxbody back in the day, on the e-way, doing 70 miles an hour, right into a traffic jam in Chicago. Luckily, it was winter, and I was able to steer my car into the snow embankment on the left to scrub off speed. So lucky I was in the left lane. I didn't hit ANYBODY, but a Uhaul hit my rear. ONLY damage to the car was basically having to replace the trunk lid(it was a notch), and some minor body work. If curious, like George, it was ALL MY FAULT. I had just replaced the shocks... and bent the brake line by hand a bit to get to things, and forgot to re-bend it back. The tire just ate through brake line over time. I was an idiot in collge, had to drive back to school during christmas break, and was tired, partially lazy and not thinking.

[@mckrackin5324]

That "Please be okay" hurt my soul. I'm glad the car didn't get torn up.

Controls it real nice across the field despite clearly freaking out and by the time Cleet arrives he's cracking jokes again.

Protect our sport by keeping the trash out. And that means George.

I’m not willing to watch my livelihood and hobby be destroyed by trash like that. You may be willing to put people like me out of business so you can be entertained by crap like this, but I’m not. And lots of others are done with it too. I’ve said it since day one, George is a problem and needs to go. He shouldn’t even be allowed to finish this event. Let’s be blunt. The only reason you find George acceptable is because you have never been a part of this industry. You aren’t a car guy and never will be.

My heart sank when I saw the title. Glad George is ok. The best thing about a mistake like that is that is sets so hard with you, you don’t make it again. Good luck George. Hope you finish this week!!

[@artieb2168]

Finally, George finds a field to be out standing in.

[@cdub015]

I’m glad he’s ok, not having brakes to slow that monster down could’ve been REAL dangerous. Then he went and owned it like a man, you guys are awesome.

[@NotJo4Ever13]

Mistakes get made. Nobody’s gonna win if we don’t learn from it. I’m proud they owned it too but I want to make sure they don’t feel they have to justify themselves to us ever, they owe us nothing. We are lucky to have them.

Man George is awesome. Glad he is okay. First thing he was worried about was the car. The first thing cleetus was worried about was him. Great team and awesome content.

[@XboxUnitD77]

The brakes is one of those mistakes that George knows exactly what happened, he knew what caused it, he knows its his fault. And that's all there is too it. Dogin on him does nothing. He knows what happened, he was the one riding through the field, he got his, no need for anyone to say anything else. Put it back together and run it back, come back stronger and harder.

[@garrettchapman8170]

Yep... Go right back, fix It , learn.. Move on

[@madweazl]

Agree with the statement but no reason a car with that power to not have a chute. If for not other reason than keeping you off the wall or out of the other lane, it's worth the small investment.

[@jarrod1687]

Agreed, cleet shouldn't have belittled him on camera

[@ratrider5748]

@@jarrod1687 yes he should he is mecanic there they work on cars that go 200mph+ now. tis had could have ended badly real quick.

[@Igneale]

In this case, I disagree. It's cleetus' car which means one if George gets hurt, it's on him and 2, if he wads it up Cleetus has to pay for it. and 3, this is how he makes his money, if he goes down a car he has to come up with something else for content. He wasn't too hard on him, he was just like hey dude.. don't take shortcuts on my stuff. 100 percent correct.

It definitely needs and is technically required to have a chute of it goes a couple more mile per hour but they didn’t plan on it being that fast out of the gate

[@adriane7841]

I didn't realize he didn't have a chute until now. They definitely need to get on that stat

[@Lotek117]

@@adriane7841 Yeah chutes are for +150mph cars. They were planning on like a 135mph car on moderately high spice and it has plenty of brakes for those speeds, but doing 143 on low boost definitely requires a chute. Yeah those brakes can stop it at those speeds pretty reliably but if they overheat or fail on a short track its just not worth it.

Parachutes don't do much without brakes. They just keep you straight when you get on them. It's not a big help for braking

[@lucastrudel8986]

As soon as you get under a certain speed they become useless. And you can still get very injured at those speeds

Sam is great and Cleetus needs more like him. George on the other hand can’t be fired fast enough. Beginner mistakes like that are not for events like this, they are a threat to everyone’s safety and the whole sport. A couple more “accidents” like this and someone will get hurt and then we will lose more tracks. George needs to go asap, and he needs to never turn a wrench again in his life.

In all fairness some of the best parts of this channel is the fact the guys admit when they're wrong. Coupled with the fact that they show their mistakes. They're not out here hiding things and showing only the finished fine tuned product.
