Ouch that was a hard hit, and when I saw that berm coming up I though you were going to go flying.

The white car said he released the brake? From looking it almost seems like he never pressed it.

I have had "ABS Rollback" one time, it looked very similar to that, and was pretty scary as I went rolling back across the track at a good clip even though I was pressing as hard as I could on the brake. I wonder if in a spin I should quickly release and reapply the brake when the car is sideways? Not the time that I want to be experimenting...

Glad you are ok, dang. That was a hard hit...

You know it might just be this --
I remember hydroplaning and heading backwards down 10-11 at COTA -- I wasn't slowing down despite what I thought was brakes to the floor. I then jumped on them again and quickly slowed down and rotated back around and got control of the car.

I figured it was just that I was hydroplaning (it was raining HARD!).

Will try to keep that in me mind when my Boxster rotates the next time.

Mike
