It’s easy to be Monday morning quarterback, but when I had my 69, it stuck WOT on me once. I turned off the key and put it in neutral.
At least my brakes worked and I got it stopped.
I don’t remember specifics of my incident, but it was something with the electric choke hung up the throttle linkage on the Demon carb I had on it.
Barry Grant wanted me to take the carb off and send the assembly to them so they could look at it. I just replaced that choke with a manual and never had another issue.
There were so many signs with this incident that said STOP, and they ignored them. I’m sure those videos will be used in the negligence lawsuit(s).
Riding the brakes constantly to hold back a 1300 hp car with a sticking throttle? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I’m glad nobody was killed or seriously inured.
