    918 Shunt

    Walter gave it his best but in the end the grass won. Grass always wins.

    He wasn't even close to being able to fix that!

    You don't mess with Mr. Inertia. He is your friend as long as you don't fight against him.

    Walter is an eminence, but a circle tracker would not have tried to correct. right locked and spun down the track or out. We road racers always try and correct the slide. Thats what got Gordon Smiley at Indy.
    I once did much the same at road Atlanta on the downhill right hander in front of the pits. Opposite lock and ended on the inside barrier.
