Safety: Cobra vs C2 Vette or other cars

[Alfa02]

Buzz, I think we can add (As in plane crashes) any one we can walk away from, is a good one It's funny how much time you have before the accident. I was racing the Alfa @ PIR in Oregon, it had just rained, but track was dry. First lap (Big pack of cars), going into turn 3 (Loooong right hander) a Mini got sideways, and David in his P-1800, punched him in the pass. door, since I was right behind, I took to the outside, and hit the WET grass (It's true, you speed up on wet grass). Well I'm now doing 70+ siding sideways, heading for the tire wall (250-300Ft away) Soooooo.... with lots of time to think The only thing I could come up with, let off the brakes, turn the wheel straight, drop it in 3rd. gear, and nail the throttle. Slowly the car started a forward motion rather just sideways I still just clipped the tire wall, but just barely. Small dent, compared to the alternative. I can still close my eyes and relive that one Cheers TommyRot.
