What kind of morons have they let loose to design courses. This is a ludicrous speed for safety. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I had to watch the vid twice to see why he lost it. Typically more speed than good sense. He was well into 3rd gear. He should have been ready for the section and made at least one lower speed pass at it. I've seen some gawd awful course designs and this was just another. The speed potential was too high for the typical driver........unless the racing surface was wide open. All the NO, NO,NOs in the world are NO help, A designer has to make safety allowances for idiots like that. Most guys aren't fools enough to put a vid like that on the net.....Just IMO. |

After I watched it the second time, I think the driver was way over his head from the beginning. He never really had control of the car. I think all the NOs were at himself for doing this and messing up his car. Who knows if he even had an instructor with him on that course before he went out. I would say not. And, Chris is right, that could have been really bad with no margin for error, especially at the end of a fairly fast part of the course. |
