Wow, that was nuts. That is a super fast part of the track too. That dudes is really lucky, I wonder if he particpates in track sessions anymore. I'd think twice after that.

Wow.

Yikes! That was way better than all of those "stare at it until something jumps out at you" pictures people like to post links to.

Definately a wake up call, bad juju can happen even at casual HPDE's...

That happened to me on the road one time. In Cleveland, roads were really slushy, guy passed me on the right and tried to change lanes in front of me. Car was FWD and right wheel must have lost traction while left had grip. he flew right in front of me and into the wall. Scary.
