    - This is an SCCA race week-end, not a track day

    - This was not an attempt to pass, I missed my braking point.

    - MyChron data, gathered over the last 5 years, shows that I am fastest taking a straight line in and positioning the car about 8ft from the inside berm.

    - I generally am in and around the top 10 in SFR SCCA races (50-70 cars per race)

    - The car I punted off came back on and finished ahead of me.

    - Its hard to hit a wall in the corkscrew

  • Good catch!

  • omg the guy you crash must be very angry with you

  • @jezburton where did u hit a wall?

  • @tubegangsta haha. flabbing.

  • @tubegangsta More than likely, when he hit the other car it jerked the wheel and that's what busted his thumb. Normally after you do it once, you learn to drive with your thumbs on the outside of the wheel. It's not quite as comfortable, but it's a helluva lot better than broken thumbs.

  • dam that looks fun !!

  • LOL I love how the bumb doesnt even throw him off balance

  • this guy thought he was playing gran turismo.

  • Have to say you're quite ballsy for taking on the ups and downs of Laguna Seca. I could never see myself running that fast on that course, especially through the corkscrew (which even on GT4 kinda scares the shit out of me). Respect.
