If this is the same guy who was jumping the starts....wow, you have some special "talent".
Yes agreed, f@&$;?g Superman move for sure...
Love the lockup punt manuver...kinda like Lucy and Charlie Brown!

964 for you CrossDog? Nice!
Cya at the Glen!

Can someone explain?.....
Well contrary to PCA rule the Car ahead or being passed should some have responsibility .

And warming up your tires should be reserved for yellow opening laps and well out on the track. Just Saying. Also You should not be out there pacing/blocking the field during the opening green lap that led to another stupid $$$$ cup crash.

As to a car getting rear-ended going into the first turn, you are supposed to warm your tires and brakes at slow speeds on the out lap, especially when the track is dirty with speedy dry from a previous accident and the track is under yellow. The official saw the rear facing video ten times (and kept a copy) and had no question of fault. It's just that damn target on my car that keeps causing trouble.

I'm not pointing fingers. And Not being mechanical engineer, but converting kinetic energy to heat is not maximized at low speeds. On the out lap of course.

That blue 911 is a pretty special car, I'd be giving him extra room.
Some people have no respect for other people's property.
And that's what 13/13 is designed to protect.

I was admiring that exact car in the Paddock. Too bad about the incident. Makes me feel good about the run group I was in.

Yep, Fabcar.

That poor car was also involved in the Mid Ohio green flag melee last year.

Not sure if it's Brumos, I was thinking a JLP.
It's a mid engined car, with the motor turned around.
Fantastic fabrication work, we were all admiring it in the pit lane.
