It's Cody's car, he was driving at the time. The 1st thing he said to me when I ran over to see if he was OK was "dude, thanks for not hitting me"

i can't speak for this incident but our tracks in az always have fine layer of dust on them from the desert winds and cars with that much hp/tq can find themselves without much traction down track beyond the preped surface.

yeah yeah, great breaking power blah blah, dude how come no one commented on the amazing lead the supra picked up at the begining? That was rediculous, looked like you got spanked like a sick monkey. Obviously though it was too much power for that little car and it couldn't hold it's streight line. great commentary indeed though, lol, f-*****. Haven't heard that in a whlie. lol

I don't think the Porsche and Supra were trying to race each other. Supra was obviously a full race drag car Slicks the whole nine yards,possibly an 8 second car. They were both just next inline to run times!

Why do people buy video cameras if they cant even focus on the subject of interest for more than 3 seconds.

Exactly. The Supra was trailered in. I drove my car to the track, ran mid 10's, and went to a road course the very next day and tore it apart.

I'm appreciative to have seen the vid, but we did miss some good action.

Geez, if you are filming, pay attention to your subject.

It was good of the GT2 driver to check on the guy. I thought you were going to hammer on him.

Thanks. I was more worried about his well being. He was pretty shaken up.

Thank God someone knows how to use a video camera. Nothing I like more than watching the sky as someone is spinning out.
