Any ideas why the hand brake did nothing? Why the loud pop noise? Did Porsche do something to keep people from pulling the hand brake up while driving?

I am asking this question in this thread because I thought people might have tried pulling the hand brake on the track.
Using the handbrake to do a 180 spin I broke 2 of the parking brake shoe retaining springs. $30. ea.
