i wouldn't like the E-brake as a safty..

only because when you are driving hard (IE track days/mountain runs)
you are braking hard, this brake heat normally lasts just as long as your engine heat.
when you stop you shouldn't be applying your e-brake, but leaving your car in gear to hold it.
having an e-brake applied on heated brakes can easily cause severe rotor damage.

any suggestions for another way to safeguard, for those who fall under that catagory?
