chip Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I had a great battle with them for about 20 minutes on Sunday morning right before I started dicing with the 147. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattbarn Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 They were running a go-pro. I didn't get any contact info from them, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yeah, from the sound of it that incident could go either way. I sometimes passed cars on the left going up the hill and tucked over ASAP to get in line for the next turn. If I came across on someone's nose, I could have been turned and cartwheeled through my own fault. Of course the flipside is an early turn to the left from the other car could have pit maneuvered the Miata. Olny video from the other car or a trailing car would tell you what happened. No matter what, it just plain sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mender Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Sounded good though! Funny how racing incidents seem to have the same preamble ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Isn't that the truth? It's almost always "and then he cut down on me" or "then he made an unexpected lane change". And the guy who spins was always driving "carefully, not aggressively". Let me tell you, at the Glen there were only a few drivers who weren't running hard.

chip Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I was running hard in my mind, but the car wouldn't always be on the same page Video is a great way to figure out what really happened, and until then, any discussion is really just a waste of time.

Team Paisley Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hey- let me know if you get in touch with them- I'd like to see if they have any videoI dont think we will see a Video from Wee-Bee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ed Womer Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 I don't want to start a fight about this but my GoPro shows that I was maintaining my line as I passed the 102 on the outside going up the hill and as 102 was going by on my right they appeared to turn left into our Miata causing me to spin and ultimatly hit the guard rail going around 95 backwards. It is done and over but it would be nice to know what 102's driver was thinking or doing when he turned into me.EdTeam Paisley driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chip Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 I dont think we will see a Video from Wee-Bee.Well then, do you think I could see the video of our cars battling? I think you guys, the #5 and us had about 3 or 4 laps at it duing the morning- I need to see the part of the 3 of us going thru the bus stop- that was fun.Ed- sorry to hear about the incident- hope things are heeling for you and we'll see you guys back on track soon- VIR 24 perhaps?

Guest Ed Womer Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hi Chip,Nice talking to you at the Glen, everything is fine, it just hurts sometimes and more than others. I have stopped taking the oxcon stuff they give me and just taking motrin instead. I guess it will just take some time to heal up but I guess we will need another car but haven't heard from Eugene about if the Miata is fixable.Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wroche29 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Chip; I think you're talking about my son's stint. Unhappily, I'm pretty sure the camera wasn't running then... too bad, I'd have liked to have seen it too (as would have Geoff)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
