I assume you are quoting the driver?

I'm guessing he momentarily had a few reservations about doing future track days.

I'm still trying to figure out how the hell the viper managed to shoot across the front of the victim on a relatively straight section of track. I guess he was carrying a ton more speed going into the kink and then got into a high speed weave.

Check out how the Viper driver's head is actually facing the camera car.

It was a Mazda Miata not a Viper.

That's what I was thinking

Re: Viper attack (jbraslins)

Looks like the Viper blew by, then something else. Right after the kink, the Miata lost it. I'm afraid I'd have to pull in the pits for a change of underwear after that one.

I know on the Duc I have to physically work the bars and the pegs to get the bike to lean through that kink when WFO. My guess is the Miata either put a wheel off the track, or made too much of a steering correction at the kink and fish tailed off the track.

Either way...very close call. Whew!
