nopistons Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Yes, yes they did... ...Sorry about the quality. It was recorded in 1080p but when it loads to youtube, it lacks resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteL Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 That was a scarey incident. Love the way you hold the wheeel. Like going for a sunday drive lol. Great job making your car dance though. Tough to pass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnerCityRacer Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 How to go from 1st to did-not-finish in 1/10 of a second.Thanks for posting the video.OK in my defense. I DID have my hood pins in......they were just on the wrong side of the hood. :eek:The previous race I was having a lot of trouble with the car sputtering. Turned out that with all the wet snow on the track the coil was covered with wet snow/water. I cleared it off and let the car idle with the hood closed during the studded race to dry things off. I intended to have a look before the next race, but that didn't happen. I was so pumped with the great hole shot I managed at the green flag and then Wham. All I could see was hood. How to go from 1st to last in about a tenth of a second. After the black flag I got sent to the back, but got called for no head lights on the first lap. When my hood came up it slammed the light against my windshield so hard that it took out the filaments in both headlights. Almost made it back on to the track before the last lap, but ended up with a 0 for that race. :(Good driving from all the guys behind me though. I was expecting to get smacked from behind, but everyone made it around me without too much contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chkdsk Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 OK in my defense. I DID have my hood pins in......they were just on the wrong side of the hood. :eek:HA! I've done that! I'm glad it worked out minimal for you as could have happened at full speed down the straight with the entire pack coming with their foot to the floor.

Bretech Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I was directly behind you when your hood went up and those red brake lights turned on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimW Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I think every racer will do it once in their life. I did it at Gimli on my first qualifying lap at the end of the front straight going in to T1. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
