What can go wrong at a track day?
There I was, enjoying a nice warm up lap at Blackhawk Farms when I missed my turn in at 6, got a tire off and...

One tow hook and 14 cable ties later was back out using only asphalt.
I did rebreak my front spoiler but other than that just a little dirt and grass.
These things are tough.

Remember: there is a nice "embed picture" function on this forum - please be kind to those of us living in stone age and not having a facebook account and use that function.

The funny, scary part is that the corner workers missed me. I had my cell phone in the door, called my brother in the paddock and had him go tell the track officials I was out in the weeds. I had a great view of my session and the session after mine. It's an iPhone so I took some video of friends from the weeds.
For some reason they are now caling me Gator.

If you haven't had an "agricultural excursion" at a track, you haven't been driving anywhere near your capabilities (or the cars capability, which I'll never reach!). Glad it was only a grass/weeds incident. I've had two of those with no consequences. Now - the concrete Jersey barrier I became intimate with at Mt. Tremblant - THAT's a different story altogether (a 928 organ donor resulted from that).
Keep up the fun, and the shiny side up.

I trail braked myself into my first spin and off..only hit a low tire barrier and didn't even break the spoiler.
Sorry to here about the spoiler but at least all else is ok
I think I'll add a weed-eater to my track pack checklist
