Be careful on the track.

NOTE: track was completely cleared for this race.

As far as I know, there was none. Cleaned out some rocks that were stuck between the rim and tire, but I think his car was ok. He continued on.

Ming may have with his cam, but I think if he did, it would have been up already.

I still have the mental image in my head.

Yeah man, I witness one of those a shannonville, except the view from the inside must have been insane. I believe the car was towed to defcon from shannonville.

Its pretty scary, it could have been alot worse, and its a good thing he was wearing a helmet.

Usually you have to worry is LCAs/suspension parts, paint chips from rocks, and broken lips/cosmetics parts,..etc.. The car should be fine.. I hope..

I had a similar incident, and slided across the field on the 4th turn I think. Grass between the wheel and the tyre haha.

I think that Civic had both wheels on the driver side caught in the ditch to induce the tilt.

I guess there was sand on the track, that's why they spun.

For a front wheel drive car, you brake too long on a turn, while not giving gas and pointing your wheel at the direction you want to go will make you do that.

Yep, probably from when I spun out and another guy did. They swept it up as much as possible.

Damn what a close call! For a second, I thought he was Knight Rider! But that was a scary close call, glad to see him and the car made out without flipping over!!

Very nice driving. Like a souldia the man starts up his whip, and boots it down the track again. lol
