Now regardless of what you say, Buck, you crashed because you took your hand off the steering wheel, wanted to be a movie star, and put your hand out the window. As soon as that happened, you crashed.

Hope you learned your lesson.

Ranjo, when you get into a sticky situation, you don't continue trying to drift, you abort, and try again the next time around.

Good thing everyone's ok.

yes, buck knows thats the reason why he crashed... lol he was going good maybe coulda clultched kicked... but right as one hand went out the window he was left with only one skinny arm to hold the wheel... lost the counter steer and booom..

as for ranjo i dont think he is used to a manji style entry... and due to that lack of experiences he tried to continue that combo and hit teh wall... both cars are stull running... just need some body work

the way i see from the film, it definately looks as though the track had NOTHING to do with it. The white s14 was out of control loooong before imapacting the wall. Looks like he just tried to keep it going which was NOT a good idea. The blue car, well i dunno what happend there, just kinda ran straight off the course. Good to see everyone is still in one piece. Lesson learned: Don't push your luck when there's shit to hit.

Oh and btw...no one ever says the track CAUSES the crash. It just makes it worse. At other venues, if you lose it like ranjo and mike did, the worst thing that would happen would you would run off into the grass or into a haybail or two.

The track is not to blame for them losing control of their vehicles, no. But the track is what damages said vehicles when they DO lose control.
