Nice video. It finally explains why the car looked like (in the in-car) it got bumped then spun.
Momentum is a terrible thing to waste.

The Z car driver is OK and IMO the car was re-themed in the wreck and needs nothing but some mechanical fixes.

I think the orange car pulled a pit maneuver.

Re: The only roll over at Goin' for Broken?
I can't really tell if the orange car was moved left due to limited tracking, the rumblestrip/curb running out, or due to being pissed off.
It looks like they saw the Z and gave it room, but the Z went too wide on exit and hit the orange car, knocking it onto the stripedstrip, then the orange car came back (for whatever reason) and hit the Z, sending it off on it's wild ride.
The gone in 60 seconds car is trashed at the wrong end, so reverse the lettering on the Lemons car so it matches, then it'd be perfect!

Looked like the orange car was just trying to stay on the track. The Z didn't give it much room.

Re: The only roll over at Goin' for Broken?
When i talked to a couple team members afterwards it sounded like the plan was to cut the cage out and put it in another car.
That's a good question though, it didn't stay upside down very long.

It was definitely done for the race - busted the LR wheel off at the axle and bent the RF strut/control arm in pretty good...
Not sure about the season ban.

Re: The only roll over at Goin' for Broken?
Hmmm... once again the incredibly detailed description of a wreck, delivered by one of the protagonists in the Penalty Box, bears little resemblance to what actually happened.
Note to self: Don't believe anyone, ever.
Re: The only roll over at Goin' for Broken?
A friend of mine once said "I never trust my memory of on track events unless I see the video. All the important details are usually wrong: where, when, who and how..."
I think he's right. Hell, I wasn't even involved and a minute later in trying to describe it to my crew on the radio, the only part that was accurate was the HOLY SHIT that you hear on the video.

Re: The only roll over at Goin' for Broken?
i'd be lying if i said i was on the ideal line and that I was totally planted.
i followed the F'ed Up cars line as close as i could but different cars handle it differently, on top of it all, i don't think I've seen anyone ever take turn 8 and not have to track out wide at exit with that off camber angle. I really thought that the Mercedes saw me and was backing off considerably.
it did get a tad bit loose at the apex with the slight off camber nature of the corner, if i had a few more inches then there would be no contact whatsoever.
In hind sight I probably should have just waited for another opportunity to pass.
Its a racing incident and I don't blame them at all, it's really no ones fault in my eyes, so don't bother blaming them or me, we were just two parties involved. at least it was only one car lost and not two.
If I don't show up as a spectator at some events this season, then I'll see you guys next season. It was definitely fun!
Re: The only roll over at Goin' for Broken?
Just glad you're OK. It looked like a very hard hit to me.

Re: The only roll over at Goin' for Broken?
yeah it was a pretty hard tumble. i'm pretty sore right now but nothing serious.
I'm just waiting to see some footage or photos of me mid air!

Hey Dean! Looks like you have a habit of being behind a rollover! This is my team (Big Sausage Pizza) at Buttonwillow being followed/chased...ok really just being hunted by the same scary fast Volvo and dtfastbear. I was bummed to see what happened at the end of the race.... I was cheering for you guys (because we were not there!).
Re: The only roll over at Goin' for Broken?
I'd like to believe that this is just correlation and not causation... 
Here's how our race ended. Brutal. 13 lap lead with 45 minutes to go.

Re: The only roll over at Goin' for Broken?
Hmmm... Maybe throwing the Mercedes-Benz out of the race (after we let them go back out and they slammed into another car) was the wrong thing to do.
Or not.

That is funny- The whole team was stuck celebrating mother's day. We were all bummed not to be there. The car was heading up to Napa for some TLC for the next race.

Ha! I don't think you had anything to do with it. Always fun to watch video.
Question- What in car system do you have that gives the radio chatter on both sides? That makes the video!
13 laps with 45mins to go? You almost didn't need to run the last 45min. I am sure you already thought about that.... and thought .... and thought..................
Oh that sound..... that will make you sick. Sorry it went down that way.

Re: The only roll over at Goin' for Broken?
For radio, try putting a second radio in the car and run the headphone output into your video recorder. You probably have to use a resistor divider to drop the voltage to line-in levels, and you might need to adjust the radio's volume level to get the best results. But this will give you both sides of the conversation. If you also want to record motor and track sounds, run the mic inputs in one audio channel (i.e. left) and the radio in the other (right). In editing you can probably find a way to mix the left and right channels to get the result you want.
We did this for the 928 at Infineon and other than having the radio levels too high it worked well.

I will pass this on to my tech guy! I am great at buying shit, but bad at actually hooking it up. Thanks, Steve
