never seen anything like that happen in the dry before... really makes you think.
I know that guy, he's at all the Schattenbuam events. Def got scared and lifted with the wheel cranked.

the guy in the red car shouldn't have went off track to avoid. he should have stayed on track and brake straight. he had plenty of room to brake. a car braking straight is going to stop quicker than a car sliding side way.

i was there that day and didn't here about it. i can see the quickdry in the octopus all the way to the pit, from the nasa event the week before.


You weren't there that day, fool, stop lyin! That was the Friday of the weekend we did with PCA. The one where Chu itched out.

Watching the video again you can see the rear end lift as he's tracking out. You really need to scrutinize these videos to see what you actually see in real life.

Was at WOT, car hiccuped and now stumbling idle. Blowin' mad smoke (rich). Guess it needs replacing. Anyone with any experience?
I meant to respond earlier, Kevin, but I forgot. Anyway, if you dont already have it figured out, to me it sounds a like a decent sized boost/vaccum leak. Running rich at idle would make sense if air is getting sucked into the Maf and metered, but not making it's way to the Im.

Have you tried boost leak testing it?

I'll watch it again tonight with sound and see if it makes a difference. either way the guy in the boxster must have **** a brick when the car hooked like that. VERY nice save!

Sure takes experience and a good eye to know what caused the incident. I watch it closely three time after reading your comments and still can't see the lift.

he was driving with his mirrors. he keep looking to the right mirror for the bmw behind and missed the apex on the exit. the snap oversteer is crazy though. reminds me of the s2k before i did all the track mods to it.

Happened with me on my last track day with PCA. I was behind an older Porsche for about half the track. The guy gave me a point-by right around turn 3 but I waved it off. I followed him through and he spun going into turn 7(? -hard left before lightbulb) I was about 3 feet from his bumper going into the turn. I talked to the guy and his instructor afterwards, and thats the exact thing they said; saw me in the rear view and could only think of waving me by.
