Thanks Chris, makes sense.

 

That will do it. Usually the white group is where people make the rookie mistakes.

 

He passed me on the right between 1 and 2 with tons of speed. Because he was on the right he entered the corner in good shape and had the apex lined up. I guess he thought it was too fast (he was) so he braked at the apex and spun. Now he locks the brakes and goes down the hill backwards still spinning and hit the grass sideways. You know the rest .....
I had to let up a bit so he could pass me between 1 and 2 and so I wouldn't be too tight going into the corner. By the time I pulled to the right to line up the corner he was sliding down the hill. Now I have to brake because I'm not going for an apex that has dirt all over it and a car going backwards! I braked straight untill I slowed down enough for a turn in.
There you have it. Time for a in-car camera.

 

BTW
I am not going to make any comments about that it was his 3rd lap in black and it ruined my last run

 

Thanks for clearing that up Rod. Nothing wrong with that request that I can see. You see so many people who Go Pro themselves into trouble by publicizing their failings - you have to wonder if they would be better off on one of these talent shows if they have such a need for attention. We've picked up a few camera's off the track this year. I picked one up (multi pieces) that fell of a Ferrari Challenge 458 that hit my wall at 11A at the Indy this year.

I think we should begin a new rule starting for 2012 - finders keepers. It's getting out of hand now. People are channeling Paris Hilton - liking themselves way too much and into self taping...

 

Just wondering if you have any more details on this incident? I'm presently the membership chair for the St. Lawrence Auto Club CASC-OR (Kingston area) and have been in the club for about 17 years and have never heard of this.

BTW, clubs do usually have additional directors insurance for the executive members who may be sued in cases like this.

 

Where's 11A? Is that some secret marshals-only turn?

 

I had the best time this past weekend by hooking up with slower cars like mine. In one lap I swapped positions (after receiving or giving pass signal) 5 times . We were both driving alot slower but the funny thing was afterwards people came up to me after saying it looked like you guys were having a blast. Which we were.

As far as the chap that got hurt his side air bag went off and it caught him in the side. We were told he is o/k.

 

If he tells us, he'll have to kill us!

 

That's one of the new proposed turns. I think it's right by the canteen. They're going to put marshal stations all around it and black flag me if I buy any more burgers.

Which they would be right to do.

 

 

I think 11a is in reference to the entry or first section of the last corner before the start finish straight at the Toronto Indy race,... not Mosport.

 

Mark wins the next debris prize I pick up for decoding what I said!

 

I've been a member of CASC for 25 years and never heard of an issue like this down east of us. Are we sure we are not confusing the Shannonville go karting death of a few years back - there was a settlement in that tragic event? That was a public rental issue. The only other death I am aware of is the F1200 driver at a CASC-OR event at Shannonville a few years back - the club I believe was DAC and that did not end in any litigation that I am aware of. I do know that anyone renting the track at Mosport has to produce a certificate of insurance before a wheel turns. Lawyers can still sue but the litigation costs to defend is paid by the insurance company (and/or any out of court settlement).

 

I disagree. As a white run group member I don't recall too many incidents in our group. Maybe selective memory or just tunnel vision but most of the PCA DE off track excursions for the past couple of years seem to have been in the black group.
