I feel your pain. I had a regular 996 spin out in front of me early last year at PCA event; it's not the best feeling. Here's me @ turn 7 on NJMP Lightning:

Convenient that you omit the fact you squeezed him in the turn causing the spin, lol... I kid I kid

He was pushing pretty hard trying to keep up with that corvette which is what led to his error. ![]() |

Instead of dive bombing you he should have taken that turn at a slower speed off racing line. I have done it many times in case of taking late point by. Noob mistake by That porsche.

Generally during HPDEs the advanced group has open passing. Meaning you better know what you're doing if you're gonna run advanced. At my last event there was a first timer that thought he was advanced because "i hit the canyons all the time brah" the rest of us in the group quickly discovered this, he was black flagged and given the option to go beginner or go home. douchebag on the track douchebag off the track caused a scene and left, everyone was happy. lol

Nice video. As previously mentioned ITT, there was some questionable passing seen the video. That first 911 that the E46 M3 and yourself were behind should have given you both the point-by ages ago! That Spec P-car came in way too hot on the inside, I agree with others saying that it would have been safer to tuck into the corner more slowly (it still would not have even been two-wide, you gave him enough room IMO) instead of trying to get completely past before setting up for the corner. Was s/he on cold tires just getting on to the track, or were they just behind you in traffic and eventually caught up? Fortunately, there looked to be a good amount of run-off room if necessary, and you were on your toes, so no one had their day ruined (except maybe their ego a little).

I don't think there was anything particularly risky there; we saw both the corvette and 911 coming and made room for them, and it was pretty obvious he was spinning right away. People screw up and go off track at track events, it happens. It wouldn't be fun if everyone drove single file and never messed up ![]() |

Agreed, P car late passing should have kept his line on the right. I guess he was pissed, a cheap corvette was owning him
![]() To his credit, he saved it, either by luck or by skill. ![]()

I lucid dream once in a while. I love the how you stared the Porsche and then carried on like nothing happened, but if that was me on the track I would most likely do this and my reaction to a car messing up would the same.

Sent that video to a friend of mine, and he said at the next AutoX if the weather is conducive to it, that he would drop the top and start shouting at cones and calling them his "NEMESIS!!!!" and doing the maniacal laugh as he crosses the finish line. Hopefully one of us will bring our Go-Pro's for some laughs.
