Matt's car was screaming fast thru the infield on that run. Then he became 'RallyMan'.
As was discussed in the afternoon drivers' meeting, that was probably Matt's fastest run up to that point, and carrying more speed around the corner changed where the car was on the line (or not). I think, Matt, you were also trying to keep from driving over the timing lights, otherwise, maybe you would've just driven over cones and kept going. Anyway, thank God you kept it straight. Also, all our 'off' cars are lucky the dirt was soft, if it was still hard packed, you might've gone further & gone into a ditch or a mound.
Good times. And we got the RX-8 back to Reno with band-aid stuck on drivers' door (pretty cute, whoever did that).
