More for pictures on-line at http://www.digitalgopher.net/Rally/Tax-Brake-RallyCross-2010 Later Jeremy
I wish I could have made it! That looks like a sweet course! Also, I love the pressed arm against the window
WHITE GIRL BE TIPPIN!!!! dude, thats my arm... i gotta see an action shot of my focus with the bunny ears lol
A quick circle during our lunch break: The precursor to the two wheel excursion. Sadly, it happened just off screen, but I got footage of the car bombing through the course right before: In car footage of my 6 runs: Took a few pics during the lunch break, nothing fancy:
Excellent pictures! good work. my favorite: http://www.digitalgopher.net/Rally/Tax-Brake-RallyCross-2010/11716026_Df6UG#826820018_MEDPj
Awesome job catching the tip in frame by frame action, lol. It's kind of interesting that it was produced more so by car height and catching dirt with the entire side edge of the car body rather then from the tires alone. My bro was talking about car 10 doing similar but in his case, he just had a wall of dirt just wash over his car. This also brings up a small note. If the course is getting heavily rutted and you don't want to chance 2 wheel action or a complete roll, drive the car smoothly through the corner instead of pitching it sideways into the corner. The high attack angle and abrupt catch is what does these things. Following a smooth arc through the corner in a rut won't do anything. These kinds of things also chance pulling tires off rims, so smooth and flowing isn't also quick, it's safer too. If you're in a rut, you'll already have the grip gain anyways, well, as long as you're not snow plowing dirt along the way.
I am NOT quick enough on my feet to grab a timing light from approaching doom. The timer had packed up and we had gone to stopwatches. I just happened to be starting the clean up process and figured if the weren't being used, get the sensors out of harm's way. Regarding why Amy got up on the bicycle, the LoL region safety stewards will be discussing this and changing our threshold for what requires an immediate course change. The rut that existed was not very deep and it was very soft. However, it was enough to cause this incident. It was only because Amy kept her head and reacted appropriately that the car came down on the tires with the only damage being two debeaded tires. The safety stewards and eventmasters had already started discussions of what to change for the next run group but we were just a little to slow on the trigger to make the change mid group. I accept my share of blame for what happened. As I said, Amy, through her actions, saved her car and saved all of us a bunch of paperwork. Thanks Amy for the show and the outcome.
If you folks have any great action shots in high resolution that I can send Mick Anderson at Raceway Park please forward them to [email protected]
sounds like very similar conditions to metzger's roll a few years ago in the silty soil at my parent's. we were aware of the rut and it got really bad a lot faster than expected.
I just got all of my photos uploaded onto my desktop. I am going through them slowly. Here are the first couple I have gotten resized. I still have over 700 images to go through, so there will be more. There will also be another series of Amy's Amazing Save.

I'm no expert but I'm think you could ride your brakes around that course six times before they would glow like that. I suspect orange cone reflection.
wow good job amy on getting all 4 back on the ground monkey called me after you guys got done and said omfg amy alost killed us lol.
Some of my videos from a friend. Man, I was putt putting. Hard to know when you are in the car and nerves are kicking and you are white knucked (first timer, never raced a car whatsoever). Good learning experience though, and a lot of fun. Here are two of my first runs.

Here are some more. Still have a bunch to go through. View attachment 21486 View attachment 21487 View attachment 21488 View attachment 21489 View attachment 21485 View attachment 21490
I think it happened because it was so soft. Hard ruts people usually dont try to go over sideways, it can wreck stuff, they usually follow the ruts but by the time Amy took her run through that turn it was like a childs sand box, fun to throw the car into but deep enough to flip it as seen.
LOL I thought the same thing when I saw that pic I was like HOW IN THE F&*$? Its definitely the cone, I only recall hitting the brakes 2 or 3 times on that course and thats with my left foot.
i dont disagree with what youre saying, but amy did have an extra 350lbs in that side of the car on that run. also, she was recovering from the turn just before it. i think unless there were others that were 2 wheelin, i wouldnt be so hard on yourselves for not being quick to change the course. i didnt mind the sand, it sucked that it slowed you down but
I think I have some. Like I said I have alot of pictures that I havent gone through yet. I took over 1100 pics.
