That's the stupidest argument I've ever heard. It isn't even worth commenting on, beyond what I just said.
Yea Im sorry for the guy for not knowing how to brake, but its a joke
Unless your *****-ass is out doing track events every weekend, then you have no room to criticize the driver by playing arm-chair driving instructor. I wouldn't expect you to understand concepts such as side-view instant center and the subsequent brake-hop that is attributed to rough surfaces and Torque-Arm rear suspensions, but since I bothered to check up on the incident and question, it is certainly not a matter of "knowing how to brake".
Here is a quote from the actual driver, pulled from the F-body mailing list after the incident:
This was a case of the crappy Nelson's surface (very bumpy) an me going to fast for the track conditions. I was coming off the long back straight, setting up on the outside of the track, and braking for a left turn.
The outside of the track was very bumpy and as I got into the brakes the rear started to bounce hard and the next thing I knew I was in the grass heading for the wall. Dan recently lost his contour, give the man a break, don't flame him about it!! Dan, you've got my condolonces.. as for the rest of you guys, grow up..
I did give him a break, by not posting how retarded he is for not understanding such a basic concept as "yielding to oncoming traffic during a u-turn". He could have seriously injured the other driver. Fortunately, they were apparently fine. Seeing as he had the audacity to make a joke out of the "Camaro in a trailer park" a second time (this time after he was just in an accident), the courtesy was waived. Oh, and as was said by others in this thread, someone being involved in an accident doesn't give them a free pass to say whatever they want. You still are responsible for your own (classless) actions.
