Early apex = death

I was incredibly lucky. I was literally a few feet away from the armco.

Meh, you probably wouldn't have died but your lil car would've been all banged up.

normtrum · 09-03-2007, 12:20 AM

I don't know, sure you messed up a bit, but I thought that was a pretty decent save. Rule #1, don't panic. It was hard to tell, but it looks like you didn't.

I think you're missing the figurative there.

Very soft. I'm running stock suspension right now. Going to do maybe five more weekends on it, then upgrade to TC Kline S/A 500/700. I might add some sways soon.

Oh, oddly enough, everything is dandy. No damage whatsoever.

Ah so this clearly illustrates why all my instructors have said to go straight (if possible) and not fight it if I drop a couple. Exciting ride. Glad everything was ok.

more like far from death....

Park2670 · 09-16-2007, 01:18 AM

WOW. That would have scared the crap out of me. Very nice save there. My instructors always tell me, if you go off the track, act like you did it on purpose.

My boxers were fine, I try to empty my bowels and bladder before I go out to the track.
