Apologies to the course-workers who I put in danger and also for holding up the race. I was on a new setup and got too comfortable in the first 2 runs and wanted to push harder. I came into the last slalom quite fast and the back end broke loose, pointing my nose directly at the curb and some course workers behind it @ maybe 30 mph. I had a moment to decide either to hit it head-on and jump the curb or to pull it sideways, so I pulled it sideways hoping I wouldn’t go over the curb and so the back corner of the car would take most of the impact. Some people told me afterwards that there were a few others who had close calls at that location as well. Thanks for everyone that helped push my car off the course, and the help afterwards: esp. Jarrod, Jim T, Paul, soloIIscoob, Jim P, FuzzyDevin, Carnut, Nick, the safety stewards. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/04-22-2007-ecc-n-wny-event-1-thread/27647)._
