Good points TJ that I hadn't thought of. I don't recall seeing a skid mark though but a drive train lock-up may not cause a skid just a rapid slow down. Man, I'm glad that didn't happen to me the other day when I was doing a speed run.

P.S.; Looked at the picture again, there is a skid mark. I think you nailed it TJ.
