Honestly, probably not. It was probably a local short track team making a step up, and those guys run 50-100 lap races and almost never pit. They run a 200 lapper here at the local dirt track every October with a mandatory pit window, and it's the biggest clusterfuck you'll see in racing. I helped pit a car there about 12 years ago and it was loving scary.

Newbie HPDE's don't really require much in the way of safety equipment. If he was running (for example) a NASA event, all they really require for the folks in HPDE 1-4 is factory safety equipment, and a legal helmet.

It's certainly something to keep in mind for people that want to do HPDE's, if you are pushing the limits (or someone else in your group anywhere near you is), accidents can, and will, happen.

Is this some kind of blind run challenge where you try and fail to drift a track you've never seen before in a car you've never driven before while pumped full of narotics? I was cringing before he even crashed it. At least it looks like maybe they know better than to let this guy run at the same time as other people.

Youtube posted:

you did everything right , thats the tracks fault
Hahaha Yep. There we go.

E: Hmm looking at his other videos I guess he doesn't seem like that terrible of a driver, but yeah he was still pushing way too hard for that corner.

Everyone buy Focuses, duh. I've definitely parked in tight spots where I couldn't grab the edge of my door and hold it away from the other car's body. Of course this system only helps with slow speeds. It wouldn't prevent you from putting a dent in their body.
