David88vert, I was just waiting on someone with some sense to post something like that. That's the truth with anything motorsports! I've yet to know anyone on an autoX course or actual track who hasn't gotten alittle squirrely or has taken it into the tirewall while pushing it hard. It's a common story to the point where it's barely mentioned. That's not saying everyone can't hold traction while pushing their car but I've yet to meet them. Truthfully, this was the first time out there with the new suspension set-up. I've been used to the body roll giving me some warning on that particular section where we were but this time it was stiff and threw me right out of the apex.
What was ironic about that section of the circle we were on (before I had the accident) I warned everyone about how the turns on that particular highway are long and flat, also, they even angle to the outside in some areas (which this turn was). So when I got to it I was caught off gaurd by how much it threw me out and by the time I semi found a way to correct it, my right rear was caught hold by the embankment and it pulled the whole car into it.
As said by the couple people i've done Mtn runs with in the past....try to feel out your car soon because it's very unforgiving out here. Most of the turns we were doing earlier (hwy 180 to point out one) had banked corners so you have to pretty much be a true idiot to lose control on them. These turns were just forgotten from the last time I was up and i put too much confidence in the new suspension from the earlier roads to really be on my toes for these.
And green91........I could care less about arguing over something I already explained. If someone is childish enough to still feel it neccesary to flex their E-balls about that then they're immature enough to be ignored![]()
