... to find yourself in a not-so-good situation:

Ironic: the first thing this guy says is "a little hot into that one ... that's okay..."

Okay, repeat after me: "In SLOW .... out FAST."

Porsche's fault

It was obviously the 911's fault for tempting him to go too fast in his ?Subaru? :twisted:

That is an old video. Turned in too early, lifted, did not catch it, left track, dug into the ground and rolled. Glad he was not my instructor!

Ugly; doesn't deserve to be in the same context. How a about a horrid display of instructorism (if it was truly an instructor). The grunting is obscene. (does that really make you stick better?)

I remember seeing that video just before my first trip to Willow Springs. Sorta toned down my enthusiasm. In spite of the early turn in and slide they caught a nasty break by hitting a rut creating the rollover.

Too bad he crashed so early. Lime Rocks a great track. A little further on is a bridge you swear you're going to drive into, but the road drops down on to the straight. It takes a couple of laps to get use to. Ran there a lot in the late sixties and early seventies. Ran a AH 3000 in an IMSA Enduro once and repeatedly spun in the esses. Damn tires or was it the rain? :D
