This has certainly gained mileage on the forums...
From what I understand, the driver was accustomed to autoxing an automatic Vette. One can only assume from that, that he jumped on what his left foot -thought- was the brake, only to hit the clutch, and then stood on it harder when the car didn't slow. I wasn't there, and didn't see the course design, but I make it a point to never have the finish stretch aimed in the direction of grid/paddock/spectators. It doesn't matter how slow the finish actually is, everyone and their brother will make every effort under the sun to cross those finish lights with their foot firmly burried in the carpet. Even if they were slower than dirt everywhere else on the course... The red mist is at its worst at the finishing lights... A stuck throttle (or brain) can make that slow finish into a hair-raising adventure in the blink of an eye... -Josh2 |
