Re: 2015 RACE videos
Those rocks can do far more than ruin your weekend. They need to address that. It's no different than an exposed pit wall in a high speed straight. Catching a corner of the rock at the speeds your doing will possible push the front left suspension and wheel into the drivers seat with these old Hondas we drive.
At chump car Sebring last weekend we had an EF hatch get tapped in the back when a passing car crossed over behind him. Speeds for his car would be about 80-95 midway down the back straight where it occurred. The guy hit the typical concrete barriers at modern tracks. His tire marks into the wall were an approach of 30-35 degrees I would say. He glanced off, destroyed the car and moved the wall enough they brought the front loader in to move it back. There is little chance of glancing off those rocks and there is 0 give to dissipate the energy. I am actually surprised it's allowed by the lawyers/insurance company.

Re: 2015 RACE videos
ok, so maybe from 2012, and one of my more fun races I have on the net lol. I never participated in this thread I don't think, and now the car is sold.
This was the most fun I had ever I think racing a car, 100hp more, and lighter in EProd. Not to mention my first ever race...hence a lot of errors.
