its real...end discussion

i dont know about you, but if there are two cars on the coarse, one is going away, the other is coming at me, im going to be watching the one coming at me. i could care less if the one goin away is on its roof(i would, but you get the idea)...

 

Ok I edited my post last time but.....

ITS REAL!!!! You want to talk shadows look at all the cones they have no shadows so it must be clase to 12 noon. How dark the shadow is??????? Go outside on a cloudy day and a sunny day the shadows will be darker on a sunny day because more sunlight is hitting whatever is making the shadow.

Ed said it best before. Sticky tires + a high role center = the possibility of trouble.

Anyone ever seen the TV shows MotorTrend, and Car and Driver. when they put stock cars with crappy "Safe" street tires on them and run the cars through a slolum at speeds they will come up on 3 wheels. So add sticky tires which give much fast corner speeds and higher G-forces with the same high role center the car can 2 wheel.

If you think other wise please post why this could not happen.....

 

The following pics aren't as extreme:

I was at the ProSolo this weekend in Ft Myers. On my first run I really over drove the car. Toward the finish, I lost control and spun the car. The scary part - the car didn't really spin. It got sideways, went up on two wheels, and hopped through the finish line. I really think that if I had been going a little faster the car would have flipped over. Latter that weekend, Mark Chiles measured the height of my car. My 01'(with OEM 16" wheels) was about 1" higher than the 00' model that he compared it to. 16" wheels, Hoosier tires, a concrete surface, and a fast course may be a lethal combination.

in Richmond last year I seen an old 5 series bimmer come up on 2 wheels while working the course. i honestly thought it was going to flip and was already starting to run away.

 

Also if you zoom into the top left picture you can seen the driver leaning to the right (his right).

 

i use to have a vid of a rabbit that was up on like one wheel on a down hill turn, scary stuff. but yeah if that pic is real then that driver is one lucky mofo that thing must have been a hair away from tipping.
