Since 2000, almost every w/e I'm @ the glen (3-4 per year) there is usually an incident in T10. These events are Zone 1, NNJR, Potomac, CVR & RTR. I always talk with my students about T10 and there is to me an obvious reason why the Glen does not allow any passing in any run group between T10 & T11. When you look at a track on your first warm up laps, look at where the tire barriers are located and look at where there are skid marks on the track. You can learn from others mistakes and learn from the track itself.
Glen - sorry to be witness to the sounds and visual of your mishap but it's only stuff and stuff can be replaced. It was a pretty hard hit and a testament to the structural engineering of the 911.
The entire exercise we do - driving at speed - is a challenge between me and myself, not machine and track. The brain does not naturally want to drive at those speeds and most certainly does not want to unwind the wheel to turn more or increase throttle when the sh*t hits the fan. To me, this is the real challenge of high speed driving.
I'm real glad you were not in the cab. Good luck with the repairs.
