OUCH

Miata parts just went to a premium around Laguna Seca :smiley:

LOL wow. Didn’t look too horrible, just a crazy pile-up

Jesus, poor car felt like a public punching bag.

On the first lap to? Doh.

:lol:

I saw it, “ooooohhh booyyy” and then BANG! :lol: BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!BANG!

He also got brake checked hard into 2.

I still can’t figure out why he didn’t keep going. IT seemed he was clear from the front after the red miata spun, but I guess not :shrug:

EDIT: After 3rd review of the vid, after he passed the car that spins out, he upshifts, and it sounds like he skipped a gear (i.e. went for third, got 5th) and pulled away slow. That would do it.

Great vids! It sounds like Mr. Tommy O does skip a gear, but, after watching the mayhem_at_t2 vid a few times, out of Karsson’s car, what the hell is the driver of the red car that spun out doing? At about 20 seconds in the mayhem vid, he loses it, and looks like he just taps an orange car with his passenger side rear quarter. He gets it back on track, and seemingly under control, and then seems to just kinda drive across track to the outside and into two other cars! I dunno if he was just having brain fade and trying to get back on the racing line (and those other two cars in the way be damned!) or what.

Regardless, really cool to see from multiple perspectives. Looks like a war out there with that crowded grid, thanks for sharing.
