WCHC #59 SGR:::::Civic gets hit in Turn 9 [mini-video]:::::
Well, since Higashi still hasn't posted his in-car vid of the ENDLESS EG #9, I thought I'd put a little quick vid together in the meantime.
Our 12th race of the year (last month), in Turn 9 on Lap 3ish...a nice good "THUMP" and...

I remember watching you do that! Nice save. He could have waited a bit longer and it would not have killed him!
Hope to be out there with you soon Dennis!

Yeah, those little buggers are SUPER FAST in 9 (about 10 mph faster than most of us), and I saw him coming...It was one of those situations where I think you have to either shut the door early, or keep it really wide open so that the other driver can read your signals. I was watching him in my side view, and from my point of view, it seemed like he was fine with staying there. We obviously did not communicate with each other well...
Either way, we talked to each other after the race, and it was no big deal- we both felt that we were both at fault. His car was perfectly fine, and I got a little donut souvenir...
Gotta love racing!

Oh, THAT's what happened! I was wondering how you got into the dirt, cause you usually stay on track really consistent. See you and Varo in a few days!
