Car kept accelerating after I let off. I had to stand on the brakes to make it stop. The front wheels locked up but the car kept moving. Using 250-280 pounds of pressure on the brake pedal I finally stopped without incident. The incident can be viewed at youtube. It is titled ram cam episode 5. It is the last part of the video.
