Holy Crap! Was it too cold? Too hot? Track dirty? Full moon? Inquiring minds want to know!

Additional acceptable excuses are:

1) Low tire pressure
2) Loose lug nuts
3) Too-tight lug nuts
4) Coolant on track
5) Oil on track
6) Banana peel on track

Damn. Watching the RPM gauge it looked like the camera dude barely lifted while plowing through your dust storm. I really hope he had a better view than the camera did to be sure you hadn't come back onto the track or something... :shock:

"Steer to where the car is because he won't be there when you get there." I tried that once...didn't work.

Multiple people spinning off the track. I'm going to guess early morning low track temps, but that's some carnage.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.
