Supra stacked into wall at Pod

I've got some pics of this incident, all taken after the fact though. I was stood alongside the track at the time it happened and I heard all the Ooohs and Ahhhs from the crowd but it was all over by the time I looked. The poor guy driving must've been absolutely gutted but he took it on the chin when the car was later parked up and there was a big crowd inspecting the damage.

I came very very close to doing the same thing with my import at pod. I had just had the LSD fitted and was used to keeping my foot on the floor when it spins up (non-lsd just spins a wheel). I tried that at pod and the car came right round, I was facing the brick wall at 80mph, it snapped back the other way and back again and I just about got it under control but all I could think of was how much of the front of the car would be left if it hit the wall.

 

Hope the repairs dont cost too much.

Heh.. I assure you I still have the problem. Thing is, you cant keep it floored. During my runs, I was feathering the throttle all the way through second gear unsuccessfully trying to keep the wheelspin under control. All the while steering into the drift.

 

Its a bit ballsy, but not much you can do at Pod skating rink.

sorry to hear such a nice supra having a bump. i was behind start line in the canopy and heard the bloke on mike going mad on mike. looked up and seen the car into wall.

 

some dick head behind me was saying it was the highlight of his day. you always get people wanting to take the piss.

 

hope you get it sorted.
