That's priceless. I can see the headline now:

"Errant EVO Driver Sued by Porta Potty King"

 

the suspensio is very strong: i can attest to that, that's where half of our money went into the car, sure isn't the interior, well my leather is o.k.:
i went sideways @ 50 mph, on an off ramp:

see where there is no green? that's where i went through, sideways and backwards. i didn't want to let a mustang cut in and he did anyway, caught me off gaurd, i went into a drift, and the driver front went on some pebbles, and my car did a counterclockwise spin into the bushes. i ended up on the other side, half in the bushes. my bumper was scratched, my intercooler damaged, the whole undertray needs to be replaced, and there are dings all over the passenger doors, and the side skirt is all scratched,- Freak accident, but after all that, my suspension is absolutely perfect.

 

Amen! say it like it is ....

 

Whatta buncha BS. Take some responsibility for your own actions. I totaled a nice car on a racertack. I don't blame anyone but me for the careless misjudgment I made going around a turn too fast and apexing to early.

 

omg BRANDON!!!!!!!!! LOL WTF.

god damn, sam.

good to know everything's ok............ jeezus christ.

our suspension is superior. those damn japanese people who ticked away with their little axe picks to get our hardware to where it is, took everything into consideration when designing our suspension. from positioning, bolt placement, and even angles of the solid foundation which keeps us together.

yay-yuh!!!!!!

btw, im asian so stfu.

 

hahahaha

not laughing at your mishap.

 

Just curious, KC, whether you think that those folks who ran R compounds at the 2004 Atlanta ProSolo were doing something wrong... The temperature there never hit 50, there was a lot of standing water on the course, and yet I ran Hoosier A3S03s the first day. While I'll admit that was a tactical mistake -- I was much faster on street tires the second day -- I never once thought it was unsafe. Nor do I remember there being any "incidents" at that event.

To the best of my knowledge, nobody at that event even suggested that anybody reconsider a decision to run R compounds.

 

Think your missing the point
He says himself - "I was running on Rs which was a lot worse than the advans on ice"

Ice and snow are a far cry from rain.
Everyone knows that the advans are rubbish on snow and ice, yet the driver chose to use a tire which he knew was worse than that. The ground was supposedly covered in snow at the days beginning.

If the guy can afford all these new cars, perhaps he should buy a new TV instead and check the weather forcast sometime.

 

First, I am very glad no one got hurt, especially the person in the potty.

But what happened to all the people that constantly state "take it to the track, don't experiment on the street"?

This individual took it to the track to experiment. I would not run R's in the snow, but to each his own. I'd rather have people make mistakes at an Auto-x than on the street with a lot more potential of hurting others.

The guy even admitted it was his fault - he is not blaming anyone but himself. So is all that bashing really warranted? Give the guy a little credit for using a proper location for his experimenting/learning as opposed to being stupid on the streets.

Also, in a competative environment people do experiment to get an edge over the competitors. It is not always the right choice, but you learn from it and could win/or do wrose because of it. If all race car/rally drivers always made the right choices and never pushed past the limit, then you would never see any accidents in racing - but we know that is not the case.

 

Ok since we wanna be an A** about this, let me break it down for you that way you won't be talking sh*t. I did watch the forecast and as the day went by, the temperature have gotten into the 50's. What I did not know was that the lot that we were going to use, was not plowed. Hell I have seen a lot of the other drivers with either Rs or their summer tires on. Nobody expected that the lot was going to be covered in snow since it snowed three weeks ago.

Now, This is the one day that I did not bring a set of wheel and tires with me (I will not take that chance again). But for you to sit here and judge what the f*ck I do, is unwarranted. I know that everyone is trying to be cool and trying to give me advice. Those who wants to bash, I could give a rat's a** about your opinion and comment. YOU WERE NOT THERE. Once again I traveled close to two hundred miles for that event and I was not going to sit it out just because I did not have the proper tires on. I know that I would not have the grip, I wanted to have fun nevertheless in a controlled environment.

The TV statement, I'll take as you trying to get some cool points for been funny: HAHAHAHA I'm dying laughing.

 

Oh wait, I'm suppose to be concern about that?

1. No one told me I was not suppose to run on Rs.
2. you're escalating this to something that it is not (read I was having fun that is what the event was all about).
3. I'm well capable of covering the guy's hospital bill should the need arise (doesn;t phase me. I'm glad that he is fine and that was the only thing bothering me at).
4. Please do not judge me as you don't know anything about me. You're taking the information posted here in the wrong context.

5. I'm not an asshat like you claim and always followed the rules (This is not my first auto-x and won't be my last).
6. You're not being a hero


One final point, if the club needs money for the hospital bill, YOU messenger boy can tell them that I'm more than happy to fork out the money.

 

Next time you wanna screw up a car, go buy a 350Z or somethin so you dont trash anymore of the only 1000 MRs that the US received.

 

speeding car + curb = big time damage

 

Useless post.

 

You drove 200 miles on the street on R tires? Jesus, you really are an asshat.
