Evo Goes Around

[MusicWorthListening2]

he did counter steer just too late

[poserskaterboy]

AYC FTL

[Deathscythe1156]

I'd seriously be crying about all those dirt chips my paint just om nom nom'd.

[ghettobraden]

CORVETTE SAYS FUCK YOU!!!!!

[robrobinette]

@ghettobraden Dude, I have passed literally hundreds of Corvettes on track. They're fast cars but usually poorly driven.

[Ozarkorganicshiitake]

Working too hard to get away from you lol.

[strgzr53]

looks like he put to much of his tire off the track

[AntDX316]

0:31-0:32.. Racing simulators never replicate that vortex of dust

[evolover999]

evo spitting a nice flame at 0:25

[evolover999]

how the hell did he spin a AWD evo lol

[robrobinette]

The camera was a Canon zoom still camera and the zoom lenses were rattling around causing the vibration and noise. I've replaced it a couple of time since then and am currently using a Contour 1080p for in car video.

[crxtech1]

@robrobinette I'm using an actual Canon Camcorder cost like 1000 and it has this exact same problem on the racetrack or just driving on the streets....the video is unwatchable

[op3l]

Hey man, love the clip but can you look into a way to stabilize your camera a bit more? It's awfully blurry from the vibrations.

[sbghms]

HUUUHHH WUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[polipochilegge]

WOW 0:25 !

[TestECull]

Just goes to show that computers do not guarantee cornering abilities.

[ffrgtm]

@TestECull Dont think the usdm evo 8's or 9's have AYC, and the tcs/stability control was certainly off for this to happen. The only thing a computer controls in the 8/9 is center diff lock which to be honest really doesn't help you if you freak out and look at what you don't want to hit... hence not correcting your slide. It's all about keeping your eyes up and head turned.

[abnormalmindset]

i would have been fkn mad if debris hit my S.

[redemption55]

what a pussy!

id be rippen that grass up if i had a evo=P

[sti4lifer]

fail! ahahaha

[folsomdude32]

It looks like he was cutting the line a little early, and came in too steep. You can see his front tires go over the curb a bit, and as soon as they do he gets pulled off the side and the back end comes around.

Not so un-explainable...

[diurdi]

Nooo! Rocks all over your windshield :(

[pfcrobinson]

he looked a little bit too squirrely going into turn 7 also. and then he lose`s it in turn 9 :(

[robrobinette]

My theory is the rear began to slide before the apex and he didn't correct--you can see the front wheels don't turn left at all. I've seen people hit the inside wall in a turn because they didn't counter-steer in a big slide.

[char19822]

Looked a bit like they might have lifted off as they started to slide as well.

[divine101]

@robrobinette i hate it when people try and theorize other peoples driving. you werent there. hence you didnt know what happened... and right you cant see his front wheels turning because theres nothing but dirt covering your view of them

[robrobinette]

@divine101 I wasn't there? I was in the car shooting this video. I'm not talking about what he did with the steering wheel when he was in the dirt, I'm saying that when he was on track turning in for the turn he screwed up, you can see that the front wheels were not steered to the left--what he should have done to counter the rear slide. Yes, this is all speculation but I've been a driving instructor for a few years and it appears he basically froze up when the slide began.

[locieloc]

@robrobinette idk if its just me but take a good look before he hits the grass his wheels do turn left.

[monstermiataman]

@robrobinette ive been track racing for almost 2 years now ive never frozen up during a pin even on my first track race i really dont know how people can freeze up even on public roads most people freeze up or even let go of the steering wheel during a slide im shocked people would ever tink its a good idea to let go of the thing that controls your car

[coldfish94]

@robrobinette no what happen here was the evo sayin im a rally car not a road race car o dirt !!!!!!!

[05027802]

That was a really strange accident, I normally have an explanation for these track day mishps but i'm stumped on this one. Anyone else have a theory?

[freddy4sure]

"that was fucken cool" lmao!

[yourmotherrules]

@freddy4sure haha that made my day

[armswing]

looks like he lost it even before the apex. just think if that dude had a RWD...yikes

[robrobinette]

Nope, I was driving (and shooting the video in) a 2001 Honda S2000

[thegarbageman21]

love how nobody even stoppped

[MrTrecolareco]

you are not suppose to stop at a track , that's why marshall's are there.

[robrobinette]

I was in the yellow S2000 in the street car group

[mRjEW77]

what were u in?

[robrobinette]

Mike, you were freakin' flying in that 996. Do you have any video of the event?

[Mikelly996TT]

I was in the black Porsche... What a GREAT Day running together!!!

Mike Kelly

[moogleii]
