Good thing everyone is OK and damage was minimal, just leaves paperwork for officials. Autocross is safe but things still happen. We had a car go up on two wheels at an event once and pop the seals on the tires, another time we had a guy hit the throttle instead of brake after a finish and took his car into the guard rail :(. That's in 10+ years of autox, things happen and thankfully you found those limits there instead of somewhere not so safe!

Something to take note of during course walks I suppose - anything that could be a surprise like that.

I sort of chuckled when you said 'oh shit' as that is EXACTLY what I said when I got squirrely in the video I posted. That must be the universal word in these situations.
