Hep Me Not Do It Again

[Ron Earp]

Seemed like an extremely light tap. But as you know, a light tap can unsettle a car plenty to cause a spin or other such carnage since the cars are generally on the edge of adhesion when racing.

I'm not too sure what I'd have done differently. It looked like you were braking with a decent rate of deceleration. But, then the braking rate of the car in front of you seemed to increase and you were simply trying to keep up but didn't or couldn't. Were you locked up?

I feel bad for you too. I caused my first accident a couple months back and it wasn't a good feeling. Glad that you spoke to the drivers and all seems as well as can be.

I'm still new to the game and I don't see anything blatant there. I've been surprised with how quickly people have stopped in front of me before -- or maybe more accurately how slowly my car stops.

You tapped him pretty square and clearly weren't trying to dive bomb. While technically your fault that sure wasn't a banzai pass or blatant "knock'em out of the way move."

I've had that happen a few times but have been lucky enough not to hit the car in front of me, so I'd chalk that one up to "my fault but a non-intentional learning experience."

My one cent. Like Ron said, the best thing is you are "one of us" and feel bad that it happened at all.

Were you locked up?

Locked them up just before the tap.

My wife says I was tailgating.

The vid doesn't show it, but the worst damage to the 28 and to my car was my left front into his right front at the end. The good news is that we all finished the race. Didn't hurt the performance of my car at all.

I didn't see what caused the spin, I was sitting on the hill, but you knocked the Nissans turn signal lens lose. Didn't effect him, after the spin he was still putting up a good fight!
