It's from this Monday, autox at Grattan raceway, west Michigan.

I actually flew over the track the day before, here is picture:
(accident happened in the middle of the straight. It's clockwise.

 

did the evo just lose control on the straight heading into the cones?

 

Before the last cone of 4 cone slalom. It just went straight uphill after 3rd cone. Two fast slalom I guess. Lost of car put at least two wheels on the grass. And once on the grass his brakes where as good as none. That ugly red truck managed to steer back just before hitting the rails somehow !

 

Great pics! The old bre Z is sweet. Awesome autocross!

 

My God, that looks more like a drag strip than an Autocross course. The features are waaay far apart. No wonder people had problems with the slalom since they could be doing 80 to 100 before they got there.

I'm jealous. I moved from Michigan and now they have tracks like that.

 

It was funny to watch how some people were really afraid of the road course. The first two turns (W shaped, left of parking on pic) I was able to go almoust flat out , and then when I worked there I could hear some people coasting or even slowing most of the time instead of accelerating, even in slower cars. Okay, I thought,it's just the first run to check the course. But when you see them doing it on the 4th run, than it's clear they are afraid.

 

There was an EVO there?



That doesn't look much like an autocross course, more like a road course with some cones pinching off a few corners. I'm all for driving on road courses, but that "autocross" course doesn't look very challenging.

 

If we were time after time driving on a small course with exactly the same layout, it would be a bit boring, wouldn't it?

It was great fun, and you are just jealous!

 

they ran a road course in my region for the summer series and it was fun, but more or less a contest on who had the most grip and power. Looks like fun either way
