You'd think it was the spectator deaths that finally killed Group B. And it was, to an extent. But mostly it was the driver deaths. The cars were just... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4v76y6A2fk e. That's just the intro to this: Too Fast to Race, which is well worth a watch if you can find it.

Leperflesh posted:it is good and not bad As a concept, maybe, but there's a large gap between "professional race car driver" and "19 year old in a civic with a spoiler and no muffler who saw this awesome thing on youtube". The latter of which being where most of the  comes from whenever someone brings it up, especially in threads devoted to people shredding their cars (and themselves) doing stupid poo poo.

That jolt from releasing the clutch (because the engines rpm doesn't match the speed at the new gear) isn't usually a problem but in racing it can be enough to push the tires over their limit, making the car lose grip.

Or if you're driving an old manual in the winter and it wants to stall out you can keep the brake pushed down with your heel so you don't roll down the hill into the car in front of you at a red light while still giving it enough gas pedal with your toe to keep the engine turning over. I miss that car.

Why not just use the parking brake??? That's what I did the the master brake cylinder went in my 86 Renault Alliance poo poo box. Well, at least until that went too. Not having breaking power for more than 2 seconds and having to stop on hills really teaches you how to expertly manipulate first gear.

It's not so practical with floor pedal parking brakes with a hood-lever like release.

We got my Explorer to the shop down the block that way, ya big baby. Engine braking and very gentle clicking in on the ratchet, as the brakes developed a leak due to road debris cracking the line.

Also a parking brake is not an e-brake and a lot of them have no more grip than necessary to sort of hold the car still when its parked. Also a high-strung racing car may have a really aggressive clutch with a very narrow band of slip in it between full-on and full-off, so that "jolt" that you feel downshifting in a normal street car might be a huge lunge in a firebreathing five cylinder four wheel drive 400hp super-durable on-and-off-road professional Group B Rally car from 1986. In any case, heel-toe is legit, on and off the streets, but yes also people who drive poorly and have bad skills exist and are legion.

Yeah, they're the "same thing" in the sense that the terms are used interchangeably, still. But manufacturers switched to referring to them as parking brakes because in many cases they are too weak to effectively stop the car, and - more importantly - the manufacturer does not want to imply that the brake will quickly stop the car "in an emergency". Most modern parking brakes only actuate the rear brakes, and some only actuate one of the rear brakes. Cars with rear drums often have a parking brake that only weakly actuates those drums, for example. Some cars with rear disks have a single, tiny independent drum inside the hub that is actuated by the parking brake. A well-adjusted parking brake should be able to bring a car that is not in gear to a stop from any speed, eventually. Many can't (because they're out of adjustment), and few can stop a car that is in gear with the gas pedal applied... while the main brakes of a car absolutely can and should be able to do that. In short, you're right... but I think it's worth drawing a distinction and consistently using the word "parking brake" instead of "emergency brake" when talking about handbrake systems that are not designed to rapidly bring a car to a safe stop while under power or while the main brake systems are still potentially functional. That said, if you are in an emergency and your main brakes fail, you should use downshifting plus your parking brake to attempt to stop. If you are driving an automatic, you can often still get a little engine braking by shifting into a lower gear for a couple of seconds. If you are experiencing Unintended Acceleration, shift the vehicle into neutral (do not turn off the ignition) and then apply brakes as available.

So awhile back I visited an old prison in northeastern Ohio. There was a lot of derelict electrical equipment there. I noticed this old disconnect switch:  Nothing particularly OSHA.jpg about it. Then I looked around the room.  What are those pipes doing overhead?   Oh, it's an electrical cabinet right in a shower room! I talked to one of the tour guides about it, he chucked and noted that yes, this was a shower room with an electrical panel in it. However, at some point the room was repurposed as a laundry - so that panel might have been put in later to serve the laundry. There was a chinsey wooden door, but it still gave me pause to see anything electrical in a shower room.
