Ok - after 5 days I'm finally back and can comment...
There were a couple reasons I posted this:
(a) I thought it was interesting how high the car got once it got sideways
and
(b) I am not one to second guess anybody, especially when they are in "crisis mode", but it just seemed to me he would have been better off to nose it into the guard rail after the first hit. That would have scrubbed off some speed and saved the "pinball" effect of crossing the track, hitting the rail on that side and then back across to hit the original rail head on.
I am wondering if we need some "driver's training" for some of the faster cars. Remember a few years ago when we had a rash of crashes? On several occaisions we had to have a little chat with some of the driver's of Super Street, Hot Street, Limited Street, etc.
What precipitated the whole discussion is a picture I saw on the Racewerks trailer, where the guy was crossed up and was obviously steering the wrong way (ie, not steering "into the skid"). That one seemed pretty basic to me.
Further comments?
