Default Crash Videos

If racing is anything like dentistry, or even real life for that matter; we learn the most from our mistakes. So, how about we have a thread showing accidents that we've been in, so we can all discuss? One caveat; only vid's with you as the driver allowed.
As I don't have a vid of the one crash I've been in, how about someone stepping up to get it started?

Better yet, for this thread speed up the video 1.5 times and dub in Yakety Sax from The Benny Hill Show.

Simple offs and spins included, or is concept that only bent metal is allowed?

My thoughts exactly. This is just an open invitation to Internet commentators who don't have the slightest clue what they're talking about. At least on YouTube, you can prevent morons from posting.

Ooh Ooh! Me first!

OK, here's what I think went wrong:

It was the car.

I'm actually not that bad in the rain. Like I said, it was the car.

Ill bite......

So its not my video, but I am the star of the show....

To set the stage, this was my first club race, last Oct.... another car had blown his motor and oiled the track pretty well coming into turn one, cleanup left only one clean line, and a pile of oily mess to the right of it.... through poor planning on the restart (failed pass attempt), yours truly finds himself squarely in the oily mess.....
I remember intentionally driving off the outside of the following turn (in control) but from there something went terribly wrong (and I have no recollection of it).... In the video you can see the dust as I drive off track... then (off camera) I find the armco... break both outside wheels causing the car to make a hard left....

and

enter stage right....


Needless to say, not my finest moment....

I think that one posted a few weeks ago with the GT3 Cup car biting it at Watkins Glen while going full speed takes the cake, IMO.

There was no such thing as "video" when I crashed. Franz, how do you dream up these things?
