That's one hell of a story, William! I guess I've been taking more risks at autocross than I'd like to.

Actually at my first DE, at NHIS, I suffered some brain bonk. I'd read these stories about not using the parking brake on hot brakes, so I walked away from my car on "level" ground without even the shifter engaged (the later was an accident, not a conscious decision). Sure enough, when I returned I found the car had moved and and was scolded by the nice guy who had chased it down, jumped in, and hit the brakes! It was headed for some pretty embarassing damage.
