Default VID - SP excursion 09/19/04

I had so much fun with my agricultural excursion this past weekend at Summit Point, that I have to share it with you.

Giant thanks to John.....

What happened? It looked like everything was fine, then your tire went off, then your whole car??

Yep, that's exactly what happened, I clipped an apex a little hard, putting one wheel in the mud, and that brought the rest of the car off course. Luckily, there was no damage to the car or my underwear.

Hehe.... Jim went in a little early into T7, the car understeered, and then the front end caught and sent him back into the inside of the turn. He handled the situation quite well. "You may not resume **** surfing." LOL

I finally got some video of mine up, I'll make a new thread.

Wow! It's amazing how similar your excursion was to Marty's a few weekends ago at VIR... although Marty was Driving someone ELSE's car and he got a little more sideways. I imagine that tire wall looked a LOT closer from inside the car than it does on the video... at least you weren't in the middle of that huge train behind you!
