Default Thoughts on what might have happened here? vid inside

On the last slalom. I was in second, didn't engage the clutch, it sounds like a mishift.

Note: There was a big hole right at the apex of the slalom.

34-35sec mark

MIGHT BE NWS DUE TO LANGUAGE

Clutch slipped? (Stock clutch @100k)

The car drove normally the rest of the day.

Car is a 97 Base.

The clutch feels fine, and the car drove great for the rest of the day.

your tires prob slipped because you were cornering hard and hit a bad spot on the track

That's what it probably was, tire slippage right at the crossover.

Only appropriate wording for that kind of unexpected situation.

you were the one driving... didnt you feel somthing?
you sure you didnt touch the clutch, dont sound like a tire slipping, isnt that a prelude, atts?
A tire spinning feels nothing like a slipping clutch, being that you were driving you really should know. asking others by sound... sounds like a ricer passed you in the other direction.

It was a lot of fun.

Here is a vid of the large course they had setup,

Honestly it felt as if I hit the limiter. A momentary abrupt loss of power.

I'm not too worried about it as the car drove fine for the rest of the event, and home. The car is a Prelude, but not the Sh model, meaning no ATTS. I'm just curious and because I got a video of it I thought I'd ask.
