Glad to hear everyone is OK. This is exactly why I personally use a beat up C4 modified for track use, I have no fear of destruction or cost. Just go get another one for $1500-3000 and swap the parts. Track debris/liquid can cause a wreck no matter how good of a driver you are, sad to see such a nice car take flight, backwards no less.
How do you like the C4 in terms of its chassis and handling compared to more modern cars? Thought about doing the same thing, the value is hard to ignore.
@@sonicnofadz I can only speak for myself, it is good enough to make some modern owners annoyed at times. You must start with a Z51 model to get the Dana 44 Rear. It can hold 315s all the way around, it can hold a big sway bar, mine has a C6 brake conversion, it bolts on, no special mods, and the parts are cheap and easy to change. I ditched the 4+3 nightmare of a manual transmission for a TKO600 road course box, 5 speed, no overdrive. You would be surprised how well it brakes and handles. Also weighs 2914lb, with seats, harnesses, gutted interior and roll bars. Like I said, when I roll it, the goal is ton walk away laughing.
I was there Saturday in my C7 GS (saw you at Subway). Ran intermediate group. Check engine light kept me home Sunday. That’s some crazy stuff. Glad all were okay.
Close call for sure, whew. Glad all are ok, well, except the lil GT4, sorry for your misfortune. Good luck, good skills and proper equipment, could have been way worse. Great footage by the way!
Wow, it's a good thing you saw him in time so you didn't get hit. Those graphics that you have on the screen look pretty cool as well. How do you display those graphics (mph, g force, steering input, etc)?
@@Tschip000 Thanks. It looks like that comes built into certain Chevy models. Do you know if there is anything like that you can buy for other car brands?
Watching this is a little infuriating. How hard is it to pull off into the grass when your car is overheating and pouring coolant all over the track. WTF
Cars that are not track ready, either because of overdue maintenance or manufacturers fault should not be allowed on track. Nürburgring is a great example, a lot of scrapyard escapee bmws race there and its very common to have oil on the track, there are a ton of crashes because of it, youtube is full with them.
@@MJT-DA It wasn't driver error either. The car snapped 180 degrees when it hit a coolant spill in the track. There's a cockpit cam of the 718 here: ruclips.net/video/VhjJJGvdO7c/видео.html
What does that statement have to do with this video? Even brand new vehicles, with top notch crews and service, sometimes have failures. When you’re pushing cars to 140+ mph, lap after lap, fittings can fail, seals can break, etc. You have no idea if that coolant spill came from a 200K GT3 or an old beater.
Perfect example why you get HPDE coverage from Hagerty... Glad they are safe but that is gonna be expensive without coverage!
Glad nobody was hurt. This could have been so much worse if it wasn't for the camera cars quick reactions.
gnarly, I'm happy to hear everyone is ok. That could have been a really fun day turned tragic.
Instructor: "Sharp turn ahead"
Driver: "J turn?"
"No, sharp tur-"
lmao
Here's the view from the 718 ruclips.net/video/VhjJJGvdO7c/видео.html
Wow. That was crazy. Glad everyone made it out ok.

Its GM's Performance Data Recorder.

@@jonathanschwartz3013 A lot of people use Harry's Lap Timer, or TrackAddict
White Cayman is a Lawn Mower for the track
He crashed trying to keep up with you…
What's the name of this video game again ?
Lol
He though he was on Lufthansa

He didn't know he had a problem until he was at the end of the straight.
Or... not running coolant when you track a car, so you don't dump slippery coolant everywhere if you do have a problem.
I ride Logan’s bus
awesome!!
How were the cars?
Blue one was fine. The white one you see fly across the screen unfortunately was badly damaged
Legit my fear of going on the track and someone or SOMETHING running into me

There was nothing wrong with the car it was driver error read the description.
