lifting or not lifting...... or any of the other excuses have little to nothing to do with it. He had racing licenses, but little experience. I've seen it 100 times before. someone gets the backend moving and they just dont know how to correct and move the wheel to counteract the forces. . its all about hands matching the rear of the car. there should be a test before anyone gets a racing credential. so sad, because it is so simple to avoid. sure, the nannies would have saved him, but so would some drivign skill 101 here too. Even my 16 year old is doing a lot of driving video games, knew the reasons for the crash. . he gave me an explanation that was dead nuts right on. then he showed me a demo of how it happened on his simulator. bucking for a spec miata .................what have i created!

Since the forums block Facebook links for some reason (?) you'll need to put the facebook.com in front of that.

The video is public, you don't need a Facebook account to view it.
