No time to react. I didn't know where he would end up, since he was still spinning when I hit him

Actually the Green at Pit Wall isn't a bad idea since it gets all the cars in the group off of Turn 12 and onto the straight.

It was the final race, but I finished 2nd in class in the Saturday race and improved my personal best lap time by a full second, so all in all not too bad a weekend.

@timcomeau Yes it was difficult to figure out. Although it cost me the race, due to a damaged radiator, the damage was minimal to my car. If I had gone to either side and hit him the body damage to my car would have been more severe. I checking my data log, I was going about 90MPH when the incident started and 45MPH when I hit him.

Tough read on that spinning car. You slowed down to react, but it wasn't clear if you should go inside or out. All you could do was to slow down some more. There was time to react, it just wasn't clear HOW you should react.

You didn't go off track. Live and learn I guess. Hate when that happens.

Nowhere to go, bad piece of luck.

Leave it to NASA to throw a green off pit wall.
