S2000 spin
Had a blast at Arizona Motorsports Park ProAutosports DE event yesterday. Great day! First session of the morning (orange group), lots of open track ahead of me until I caught up with this S2000 track car that spun right in front of me. It happens at the 2:45 mark.
Aren't you supposed to engage both brake and clutch pedals when you spin?:eek: https://youtu.be/Et_C43j6Ra0 |
As slow as he was going I'm surprised he could get it to spin. "In for a spin, both feet in!". I prefer "In for a spin, both feet in, mother #$%&*". Add a picture of Samuel L Jackson for maximum effect.
The S2000 is an amazingly capable car, this example with the giant wing not so much... :) |
Two things for the S2000 driver:
1. Find a school/instructor and spend a couple of hours on a skid pad so you don't jeopardize the safety and welfare of your fellow track rats. 2. Be polite and let the faster cars by you. This has happened to me a couple of times and what scares me the most is not that I might hit the driver who spun out in front of me, it's the driver(s) coming up fast behind me... |
a little early, a little bump, zero suspension travel, nasty spin. destined for failure before even getting to the track. what a terrible set up. and that park bench on the trunk? no help at all at only 25 mph. ugh.

At least you finally got around the S2000 :) |
Nice work staying out of trouble! This must be an s2000 thing. Same thing happened to me, here's a video of just the spin.

Looks like completely unbalanced brakes to me. Rears locking before fronts.

Amazing how slow he was going to spin though

On edit: our reactions are totally different: I gesture in disapproval at the spun car but looks like you gave your guy the thumbs up:) Going to Chuckwalla this Saturday. Wide open fun. I'll post. |
