And after watching that one, this one about 3 years old is hilarious also at VIR... Also timely for the Halloween season!

Yup We know about the Viper video. That incident was soo flagrent that he recieved at 13 / 13 for from the VIR officials. Well 12 months and 2 weeks latter he hit a wall down in 6. That guy recieved a 13 month suppension from VIR

clubracer6

How did he do it though? It looks fairly straight there...

AU N EGL

attemped to lift slightly and put is foot down hard onthe throttle. right rear wheel grabbed and the car shot left across the track. Did not stop untill it almost hit the Dan river

Are you sure?? That guy became a track junkie and started running like 30 events a year and is quite good now. Mazdadrivers usus his "incident" in their instructional classes now

Man that 2nd one had my stomach in knotts... I'd have been infuriated had that been me. Was it an error on his part or did the track officials screw up?

clubracer6

Not sure, but he was one car out of position so he pointed to grid worker to let the other car in front of him and then he planned on going. The grid worker took that as to release the entire 2nd line.

I would be mad as hell too but passing all those cars on the pace was completely unsafe! All of this being said, it's still hilarious!

Falcon

Yes, it was an error on his part. From what I understand, when a grid official tells you to go, you go. The hell with everything else. It was a novice mistake I'm sure he won't make again.

Obviously, it was his fault for passing while on a pace lap. Live and learn.

Cobra4B

^ Good to know.

Red Gump

they must have gridded him wrong in the first place. but I agree--they say go, you go. and don't bother ever trying to correct them, just ain't gonna happen.

'Driver of the silver 350Z says he lost his brakes entering T10. I heard & then saw him coming in my sidemirror. Sometimes in Instructor group, you don't give a pt-by & someone will go past. So, I really didn't think anything of it except I saw his closing speed was waaaay more than it should've been. He splits me & the Miata driver in front of me."

While we're sepaking of video, here's a clip of a driver who was just a bit luckier than Legg at Road America. Remember her terrible off at "The Kink" at RA? This guy in this video has an incident at the same place, but the results are a little different:
