Wrong place, wrong time!

Is video shot from a friend's Spec E30 at Barber MotorSports Park last weekend. I'm in the 96 car immediately in front of the camera car. Nobody did anything wrong, I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The impact seriously bent the trailing arm and wheel and destroyed the half shaft. Another friend located a trailing arm, which I picked up Saturday night and installed Sunday in time to make the afternoon race at 2:30.

That sucks!

And so does the vid!

[!kid]

the vid is not that bad at least you can see whats going on


after watching alot of spec e30 vids it seems that oversteer is a common problem

watching that i feel the touch couldve been avoided.. maybe not though.

If the driver of the red car had locked it up when the car went loose to the left, maybe there would not have been an impact. Or maybe it would have just been less serious. Hard to say as the cars aren't that far apart.

at least you didn't tear up any of that expensive fairway grass . . .
