Yeah, he would have understeered off instead of oversteered . Seriously, what was he thinking about when he went into that corner floored...in the rain no less.

This video proves that talking to someone else can make you do stupid things when driving.

Why was this guy driving the Ring with a camera in hand?

As Chows says, we have lots of road tracks around the country that you can get on during "track day", usually Fridays before a club race weekend. Lets folks get things sorted out before the fender to fender fun begins.

High Rock- is in NC- near Lexington and I don't think it's finished (or even started yet) That is going to be a Country Club Track type set up- that area has perfect terrain for a road coarse-lots of rolling hills!
