Well over the weekend while i was at Texas Motor Speedway i happed to see this out of my windshield..

Thats my sister riding with me.

 

Nice spin, cool video. I have definately done that more than once during on track experiences. The best part is cleaning the dirt out of your interior afterwards. It gets absolutely everywhere and a week later you will still have dust blowing out of your vents. I still love every minute of track time I can get. Here is a couple pics of my car at Laguna Seca

 

Your sister was saying the exact same thing that driver was saying haha. Good vid, I love track video from onboard cameras like that.

 

The infield road course trumps the big oval whenever they have pace cars out on it. I think i went around the oval for 4 laps. i made about 65 on the roadcourse. No pace cars

 

Nice.... You could easily pick out the rookie driver... Not smooth on the gas, brakes, or steering, and atrocious lines through the curves... It was only a matter of time...

 

i need to find the vid of me spinning my 65 mustang at firebird's main track, the one that uses the drag strip for a straight

 

Id like to upload the full run. but that would take quite some time

 

Why didnt you stop to make sure he was alright? I'd **** my pants if I were that close to wrecking a 'Vette!

 

No offense but that would of made the situation way worse. They have track crews and rescue crews for a reason. If he would of tried to pull over some one else could of wrecked bad just trying to avoid him pulling over and what not. You have good intentions but it just isnt worth it.

 

Definitley nice to have an onboard camera, car sounds great btw!

 

Like Nuc said...you NEVER stop and especially don't get out. It just puts more people in danger.

Aside from that, SICK video. Man that track looks like SOOOOOOOOOO much fun

 

I want to take my Dak on a course like that.

 

hell i want to see how the truck handles on a course like.. figuring with the lowering kit and sway bars....

but the damn traction bars would probably screw up the rear sticking

 

It's not like he plowed into a wall at 120, he spun out into the sand, gravel, and grass at what? Maybe 70? I'd bet the worst thing it did was shred a set of tires, gouge the rims, and maybe chip the paint off the rockers...

And, as already mentioned, that's what the track crews are paid to do... They are trained professionals and were likely on-scene in less time than it would have taken 1fast4.6 to park, unbuckle, get out of the car, pull his protective gear off, and run over to him.

That's smart, get out of your car on a race truck to help someone else who has simply spun out into the sand pit.
