This is video from the #79 WeatherTech.com/Fall-Line Motorsports T1 Ferrari driven by David MacNeil. The start of the T1 race at the 2010 SCCA runoffs was a disaster!! The video was taken by an AIM SmartyCam connected to an AIM EVO4 data recorder.
I just remember hearing over the corner net "Green flag!" second later "ALERT ALERT!". The race was promptly red flag as there was a significant amount of track blockage, along with a damaged cable in the safety wall. Not to mention this was a split start race, that had STO/ST not even 1/3 around the track behind the start.
@SLOWCHILL well said Andy. ppl on youtube think that drving thier street car is just like driving a race car, and they can't even drive their 93 hatchback.
Not that i should be adding to the fire but really. unless you were in the same situation feeling the same nerves at the start of the race how do you know how you would react? its pretty easy to call the "viper guy" a idiot when your at home watching it on the computer. bottom line accidents happen. Its club racing for a reason. No reason to Tear someone down over it. it was one of the more unfortunate things to happen that year at the runoffs though! ~Andy Wolverton T2 GXP
Well now, a simple POST stating that Heinricy's trans blew would have cleared up a bunch wouldn't it ? Heinricy is the only guy out of a few thousand that ever ran a quicker lap time then myself at the GM Proving Grounds challange course in Mesa Arizona. I am familiar with him.
Going soley by what the camera shows, the Viper appears to be the blame.
