HOLY CRAP! Jeremy actually got a picture of my first spin ever! I might want an actual print of this with something like "Hugs and Kisses from Turn 11 @ Thunderhill" written on it. Man this is sooo money!



(Jeremy - I hope you don't mind that I screen-capped the photo. I'm a bit excited by the photo. Let me know if you'd like me to take it down.

Somewhat funny video
This guy got upset at Vu lol but you can see Stephen, Justin, Hanzel (at the very end) and a few others.
I think there was a rule about what Vu did hehehe

Was curious how long it was going to take you to post this up.

At least the driver in this video can't complain about it, since he did the same thing, which I'm sure you didn't do

He and I closed the door on someone

This is just a good video of why that rule is in place, not saying it couldn't have been me or someone else. A mistake was made, no one was hurt, there's no reason to be upset or put blame elsewhere.

BTW I probably should have been clear but the funny part is at the end

I "closed" the door on him? I left him a full car width. I was fully aware he was there.

I have no clue why he didn't pass you into that corner... you were obviously not even accelerating, you stayed right well beyond the established turn-in points and he had a good 4-5 second window to get by you with room to spare. Looks to me like you just got tired of him slowing down to go side-by-side with you and pulled forward after safely entering the track. He sounds like a hot tempered guy.

I have to agree with Dan. The rule was "stay to the right as you enter the track" but there was no specific marker that indicated where that safety zone ended. The driver hesitated and Vu made a judgment call. No harm no foul IMO.

That aside, anyone else notice that he put his e-brake on? Wonder if his rotors warped?

He could have easily driven around Vu at those speeds. Vu did the right thing here, he stayed right. I love the "FU" at a car merging.

Who is this?
