Third session of the day with Chin at HMS, running on the Grand Am configuration on the high banking. The rumble strips had been repainted in preparation of the Miami Grand Prix next weekend so they were a little "slick". Coming through turn 2, put the outside rear on the rumble strip on the track out and it was game over. Instinct had me turn into the skid, but when that seemed to not help at all, I turned back with the skid to try and make the corner. Thankfully, my friend Sebastian driving the GT3 saw me mowing the grass and got out of the way the best he could. Only damage was two bent Enkei RPF1s, maybe some control arm damage from hitting the inside of the curbing....ill take that over wrecking a $135k+ Porsche anyday!

Could be much worse, glad you and the car came out OK

 

man, good recovery

 

I just still cant get over how violent the sudden slide was...out of now where, sideways!

 

Glad it wasnt too bad, hopefully thats teh worst of the season and hopefully it goes up from here.

 

dang that was close...

Glad you came out of that safely and only minimal damage.

 

Hot damn, sir. Well played, glad everyone got out ok.

 

Ive watched it 100 times now...I think I handled it well, I think the experience from doing this for 5 years played a big role but it was still just alot of luck...went and bought 40 bucks of lottery tickets tonight too!

 

Wow, all I saw was door on that Porsche. Nice save dude.

 

Damn! I would have crapped myself. Nice save!

Good luck on the lottery too.

 

:0 good save!

 

Whew.. good save. When I saw 'FUBAR' I thought the worst for you...

the turn was FUBAR, the car is still FUWAR (Within all recognition).

 

nice save !

 

Definitely a nice save..i would've been pulling seat cushion outta my a$$ for a week!

 

phew that was close!

 

I am definitely glad you made it through, I am sure a thorough inspection will be in order, at least you won't have the body damage like you did with that CRX. I bet the pucker effect came in, good to see you didn't panic

 

Yea dropped her off at the shop for a tear down tomorrow. The steering was 3-5 degrees to the left so something is up...update to come!

 

I got $5 on a bent tie rod

 

Holy crap, glad everything turn out the way it did and no major damage

 

Agreed.

Good save - glad your friend in the P-car was paying attention and didn't get collected.
