[quote=“lightningd” post=74389]Ranger, is your car the “we the people” car? If so, I was paddocked right by you and didn’t even know. we need screenname tags, lol.
i guess people have their preferences, but when i’m spinning and have no control, i utilize the two-feet-in rule…brake and clutch. if the brakes are locked up, the car will pretty much go one direction no matter which way it’s pointing. since other drivers tend to steer away from where you’re going, you most often will get missed. it seems most accidents with a spinning car happen when the car is rolling backward and it’s direction is unpredictable.
(at least without ABS, does the ABS module pulsate while rolling backwards?)
I was also the guy that sat behind Espinosa watching him spin between T5 and T5a. I didn’t know whether to go left or right as he was spinning like a top, and meanwhile the whole field passed me on both sides. i’m not sure how i didn’t get rear ended there.[/quote]
If you mean a big decal on the hood with a John Adams quote, yes that was me .
ABS doesn’t know the difference between forward and backwards, it only knows turning wheels. I agree that both feet in makes your cars motion much more predictable. ABS can hose this up tho because it will try to help you regain control when all you really want to do is slide in 1 predictable direction.
I just got in from the ortho “2nd opinion” visit. It’s a fracture of the radius, not one of the tricky little bones of the wrist. Got my second “removable” cast of the day. They’re going to wait a week until the swelling goes down before putting a real cast on. Doc says I’ll be good for RA.
