Not sure how he made it out. SFI 38.1 head and neck restraint required in all the vintage stuff I run except VSCCA (old cars), even Monterey...

Disturbing. No surprise in the end. I was watching his other entries into 10A before the spin and thinking "those brakes suck. The car is not stable and I don't want to be in that car".
The car was really skittish through every turn. Was he trying to rotate the car in some inventive way, just having fun or was he running different tires in the front? Yipes!

I noticed that he blew the doors off the 911. It reminded me that HP wins races, and that is why "handling cars" still get crushed by American Muscle, unless they get their own group. But, for raw lap time, big muscle wins. The biggest irony is when auto nerds say stuff like "Only good for going straight". Nope. This video is proof positive. Once he blew the doors off the 911, we never saw it again.

At the end you see the strap that is from a HANS sliding tether system. The orange 'V' is the giveaway.

I thought that was pretty ballsy and skilled driving. Presumably bias ply tires on a rather unforgiving platform.
Maybe a good compadre for Clarke. You know, left hand, right hand, brother from another mother.
