I have seen a serious off, also at a PCA event when we were doing a Skippy school at Lime Rock. That was the same event, where people were blowing their horns down the front straight trying to get a point by.
Remind to NOT do PCA events.
I have done a number of BMWCCA events, no un-drivable offs. And not many offs that required red flagging the session.
I teach at Friday at the Track and SCCA PDX events. Only one serious off at any of the events I was at. A 350Z did not complete all three steps of skid recovery and went into the gravel sideways and rolled. I used to have pictures.
I have seen and even been in a couple of offs that resulted in minor damage. And one car caught fire recently.
And I agree with Nick. But missing your breaking point by 1 full second at 120, means you missed by 176 FEET. Were you asleep?
