I'm just glad that nobody was seriously injured. There was an SUV in the oncoming lane about 100yds out when he pulled the acrobatics.
It could have been far worse.
And welcome to S2KO. Going thru withdrawal with NSXPrime's forums down?

Accidents such as this one are very concerning. Let's suppose it was a head-on two-car wreck involving a minivan full of kids. That would probably make the national news and subject all the drivers in the event to significant liability.
I've led many caravans of NSXs and S2Ks. I've seen just about everything occur on a spirited drive. There is no way to control individual driver behavior. The best we can do is
a. be serious about safety and do a briefing at a drivers meeting before the event
b. make sure all the cars can communicate via two-way radio (consider Motorola Talk-abouts or equivalent)...this way warnings about dangerous curves, obstacles and oncoming traffic can be conveyed in a timely fashion
c. set some rules regarding speeds, following distance
d. do a mini tech inspection
e. go over the route in advance
Just some thoughts to keep everybody safe....
