This link was posted on our local SCCA forum. It looks like a really bad, really expensive day for quite a few people.

i thought about that for a second... but why would anyone use the left foot to brake ?
I'm seriously glad no one got injured/killed. I've seen a few Auto-X incidents, among which 2 rolled-over cars... one hit the cement barrier after losing control and lifted the front side of the car... ended up on roof... the other was a bad combination (human error) of a swift on stock suspension and Hoosier's not letting go while he was doing the slalom too fast and tried to keep on doing it... rim bytes on the asphalt and tip you go... i was several feet from the car... and the first to rescue the guy. I'm sure the guys feels so bad as is... both the driver + owner. At least he doesn't have to cope w/ bodily harm to anyone on his shoulders. |

You can't tell me that someone on a roadrace-autocross forum has never heard the term "left-foot braking"? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Pat |
