Default GPW crash

Anyone know the owner of the GPW MY03? who hit the wall on the entrance ramp of 520 in Redmond today? Happened about 9:30 am. I drove by and he gave me a thumbs up saying he was ok. Unfortunately, the car was not. i was wondering how he is holding up. I would have stopped, but I had patients waiting at the office.

Looked like the tires may not have been warm, skid marks looked like simple speed & oversteer. that ramp can be very enticing!

I spun there once in the winter in my GSR but was able to regain control after 2 spins.

Hope he's alright.

Yeah, the one by Redmond Town center. Leary way and West Lake Samm. I could see how easily it could be to get the back end loose.

I saw that guy too. Front end was pretty smashed, figured it was oversteer on that corner.

I've driven that corner at least 200 times, pretty nice, uphill with a proper camber. Late at night you could do the full apex. Never lost it though...

WTF is the point of a post like that?


I hope he's alright. I doubt he's on the boards, though. At least he managed to give a .
