i've run out of pads at the track before (steel backing on my rotors) and even then I had enough braking power to slow down my car. either he or the brakes failed.

for fluid fade, this is not something that comes on suddenly but builds up over your lap. You will notice your brakes getting weaker and weaker, telling you to brake earlier and earlier.

Let's just say that without that tire wall, there would be no driver or instructor LEFT to comment on
