Here is one. Temp was pretty low (40's as I recall) - hard compound slicks - so there was no grip.

And those cars are so light. They spin and stop RIGHT NOW! Our tin tops seem to slide forever.

2nd Lap at WG (Video'd from a friends car). Tires/brakes not up to temp at the bus stop. No chance of making it...should of gone straight thru the cone instead of turning in.

It looked a lot more dramatic than it was. In fact, $300 in paintless dent removal and it was as good as new.
