Whoops, posted the above using Ron's user name on his computer. My bad.

I posted the above. Just want to be clear on that.

Wow, looks familar!! Another club member........! How many virgins are left out there, can't be many.

Unbelievable!! The dude has hit everything out there but the pace car. Look out pace car..... I'm shocked that nobody has writen paper on him for rough driving. Just about anyone in the field could have. I'm guilty too. If I had my video camera working at the SIC I would have. We all need to get the cameras working and do what has to be done. He's going to hurt someone... The sick part is that he really believes he's one of the best drivers out there!!??

Zsolt! Nice save!

Great save...that's a fast, fast entry. I thought you were in the tires for sure.

Not me. Deflowered here but it was gentle and only a dent and scrape, thankfully. Others behind me were not so fortunate

Ron,
I've never run on the track with the Green RX-7, but it dosn't look like he intended to spin then hit you. Who out there hasn't spun? I know I've spun in traffic and hit people & I've hit people who were spinning in traffic. It happens, stinks but still happens.
Makes me wonder how many people hate my driving: not that I'm gona lose sleep over it.

Zolt's crash however... He might have been a little optimistic. Stinks for Zolt... I hope he apologized. But that Integra was too perfect (jk)

Hey Ben,

No doubt, you are correct and I'm sure he didn't want to hit anyone. However when similar episodes are repeated over various weekends one starts to detect a trend. As you can read I'm not the only person to express concern, in fact I was probably one of the last to become concerned. I enjoy IT racing, enjoy the people that I race with, and I hope to continue for a long time into the foreseeable future. But bumping and hitting have no place in IT, for a variety of reasons, particularly for some of us who race "IT Dinosaurs" for which parts are hard to obtain. Our cars don't take hits like modern Miatas, Integras, and even RX7s do.

Zolt really did well at RA. Zolt has been getting faster over the past year that I've been on track with him and he's really making the FWD Integra sing. Enough so that I'm convinced they don't need any stinking weight off for FWD!!!

If this guy keeps doing it, whomever gets hit next even if it doesn't go anywhere, atleast there is a paper trail. I am glad that he didn't catch me to lap me. My dad was in the black MR2 in the video they were passing by. Apparently the "green XR7" as he put it came really close to hitting him as he went by. For some reason the man no matter how many times I say RX7 he never gets it right.

I posted some pictures from the weekend on my photo sharing site.

Looking at the videos of this car (green RX7), spooky oversteer.... course, cars I have driven have caused damage to others as well....dropped oil, spinning, poor decisions, red mist, retaliation to a blocking vette, car being setup in undrivable manner....... etc, etc.... Had a Duece somehow dodge me 2 years ago seeing me in his mirrors sliding down the esses at road atlanta to avoid my red misted drive with reppert..... Thank you duece.
Has anyone helped this guy work on the crazy oversteer that his car appears to have?

I don't know this driver personally, but surely a group talk would help? Constant flailing at the wheel while banging on other cars is either an unstable car or unstable mental condition..........wait... we all may fall in this catagory....
