Damn, my initial response when it started to twist sideways would have been, "Well this isn't good...".

That was actually relaxed driving. If he would have over-corrected, he might have ended up hitting the green sideways and might not have lived to go home.

Hmmm...it seems like the car straightend back up without any counter steer after going completely sideways. Weird but amazing.

The skid marks posted from the heli were a different porsche that spun. That was a cool video. The guy in the white shirt that said "good job living through that, your speed was 224" was me. I was in timing and scoring. I got a good laugh out of him saying we needed to cut the weeds. It took him prob 30 minutes to come to timing and scoring to pick up his slip. He was still sweating bullets!

Yea he was joking about "clipping the grass" for us on the big end. He had TONS of grass stuck in that car. He probably wasn't joking around right away. Like I said it took a good while before he brought the car down the return road to timing and scoring.
