Izzys Cages Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Wow! Car wasn't even going all that fast. Looked like the car sped up once it hit the grass! Crazy! Glad the driver was ok.I blame E36's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubby Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Great Videos Greg!Was it the deer eye lights under braking that caused the driver to spin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff G 78 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Wow, that was a big hit. Any "after" pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brawls43 Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Driver is okay. I think the muddy grass did speed the car into the wall. I don't think it was the deer lights, Tubby, but the lights on your c-pillar may have been a distraction. Initial damage pics are up on our blog. Going to dig a bit more tonight. />http://teambearpatrol.blogspot.com/2011/04/damage-report-part-1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABR-Glen Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 In the video it looks like the engine died before it even hit the wall.I'm jealous of your traction control though, have to adjust my perspective on what's a $500 car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csadn Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Looked like the car sped up once it hit the grass!Looks like it -- but it isn't so much "speeding up" as "slowing down at about 1/10 the rate it would on pavement"; that's why so many tracks (esp. the newer F1 tracks) have paved run-off areas.

alzilla Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Here's the one clip I've had a chance to upload. It's the first race lap after the restart. If you watch closely at the 2:15 mark, you can see Bear Patrol spinning out right in front of me at Turn 6./>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMbtns3i_PoAlso, excuse the music. I couldn't get the audio from the camera to work with the software I was using. Somewhat fitting song though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brawls43 Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Nice lyrics right during the spin. That was pretty close to getting you guys wrapped up in our guy's spin. Nice job dodging it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubby Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Great Video Alex! Looks like you should lower the camera so you get a better angle or it's just the mist restricting the view. Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing!Thanks! You're absolutely right about the mounting. We had to improvise the camera mount the night before the first race because the camera was missing some hardware needed to mount it properly so we used GoPro bits with a camera weighing at least 2X more. We'll have a much better set-up for Iowa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Packard Goose Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 If you watch and listen to how one driver drives vs another from clip to clip, you'll better understand why it's not just the car but the drivers that make faster laps and win races.Greg, the hit didn't look at hard on the video as the damage indicated. Glad no one was hurt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krek Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 If you watch and listen to how one driver drives vs another from clip to clip, you'll better understand why it's not just the car but the drivers that make faster laps and win races.Dude, I set up two laptops side by side with Scott's laps and my laps running... talk about an education, he's 12 seconds a lap faster than me and it's mostly from driving deeper into the corners (I'm coasting into my braking points, he's driving) and getting on the power sooner exiting the corner (not surprisingly his lines are consistently better than mine).

Izzys Cages Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 That's funny Jeff. I was sitting there last night watching it after posting thinking "crap, I'm coasting into 1,3, 5 &6, tapping before the carosel..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
