Alex Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 I do hope the 19" Racing Harts he waited for haven't been mullered. Feel for you chap. Chin up and don't forget as far as your insurance is concerned - no one saw you at Santa Pod!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 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.

Branners Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 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. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supraguy Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Originally posted by Supragal how come the big piower supes dont' seem to have that trouble? 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
