Epic Near Miss

This is why guys don't get bumped to A group right away. Intermediate Group would have had guys leaving in the Ambulance.

Corvette Driver ruptured his brake lines and had nothing going into Turn 1.



I'll post the in cabin onboard from my car later on. It's processing now on YouTube.

I don't know if he was lucky or good (or both), but he sure did thread that needle!

I was in the white ZL1. I always glance in my mirror before turn-in. Just a habit. This time it saved me.

The funny thing is I listened to my gut because I was going to get really aggressive on the brakes and take those first two guys into turn 1. Something was telling me to be patient.

His car has a manual emergency/parking brake and helps in a situation like this.

For us 6th gen Camaro's and the electric parking brake, it'll just lock our brakes up and screw the tires up and cause a spin out...making this situation more worse.

I don't understand why the Government mandated that we have to go to electric parking brakes.

Glad he was able to control the car and not hit anyone and barely any damage to his car.

Wow that could've been a lot worse. Not a bad outcome all things considered.
