I saved it, the internet is forever

I wish I would have saved that Corvette dude at Fontana with the zen-like Asian instructor.

Time to get some insurance, move to California and sign up to run in the "Wad what you Brought" run group with YYC.

Yeah. That's not gonna be a problem.

God damn! Do I need to spellcheck every post now?!

Did I hear the mustang driver yell “BOMBAKLATTTTTT!!” before impact?

Where is the 'Dislike' button?

Spellcheck ain't gonna save you on that one.

....Along with a heavy dose of red mist and complete lapse of common sense.

Damn ! I didn’t realize this was a CHIN event. I ran with CHIN for the first time last year at VIR and had a very good experience, so in my limited experience will agree that atypical with what I have seen. There is a PCA region that runs at VIR that I have committed to avoid (genesis for signing with CHIN as couldn’t have possibly been worse). To be clear, I was actually very impressed with CHIN.

Sorry I missed you being in NY, and hope you enjoy the “cafeteria” again. . I was there a week or so ago and Eddie and Nick took care of me as usual. PM separately for other suggestions...

I have been trying to get Mosport back in my rotation, but with instructing with the Rennsport region, I’m committed to 4 events at Tremblant (like its such a effort and issue going to Tremblant !). Love the track and fabulous group of people. It’s actually considered my home region...

Back to the incident, just rewatched the video again... just incredible and shocking. It’s amazing that the GT3 driver is OK and wishing the best for him. The whole thing sucks.

This accident is not Chin Track Days fault.

does anyone know if the mustang driver was actually approved as an advanced driver, and had been checked out , in-car, by one of the chin personell or instructors. my experience with chin is that they are very conservative in moving people up. just my 2cents

Dwane

Mr Lange...Looks like we’ll have to chat and figure out how to get some of the RSR crew some track time at Mosport!?

I hope that didn’t come across as my implying that. In fact, I was trying to say just the opposite and the lack of control of the GT3 driver for the bit that I watched, and the driving and behavior of the Mustang are also not my experience from running with them. In fact, I would run with them anytime based on my impression of how run and organized.

That said, I am in violent agreement with you. There can always be these type of drivers in any event (and track day or race). There is no way to manage entirely out of the group. THAT is the problem - that drivers like this exist at all, with a seeming lack of consciousness and awareness, or understanding and appreciation of the financial and physical implications of their actions and behaviors to themselves and those they are on track with.

Sorry if anyone took my prior post to imply that any of this was representative of CHIN, or responsibility of the organizer.

It's not funny and that's the problem with people being casual about this stuff - including posting such a monumental example of poor judgement online with little apparent insight.

It's actually stunning to me because he could easily have killed the other driver.

You can be blasé as a 3.5 year DE expert but don't expect the same from this group.

I hope I'm not bullying you but videos doesn't require an apostrophe. I realize that I've stolen the opportunity from LuigiV to play grammar-****.

Hey Dwane ! Yeah, that would be great and would love to get back to Mosport. I ran there once with Upper Canada and was great. Another time involved a different PCA region and was a ****show and will not run with them again.

I think very important to drive multiple tracks, and glad RSR has committed to including Calabogie in its schedule. I wish I could have gone by have a conflict which precludes me from doing so. Big Daddy (Dave) Kane will be there though, and I am looking forward to going back.

So, yes - maybe we can start getting something planned for Mosport. That would be “EPIC” (in the words of Mr Lane).
