yah, after that crash he just walked away somewhere and disappeared. No one saw him after that. He probably went to a corner and cried or something.

what's up logan!!!!
that day was sure was a blast~!!!
we need more rx8's to go with us.
regarding, that guy...nah...he was with us until the last session. He was sad but wasn't crying. He tried to take it cool.
one of the guys that we were with works for a body shop, so it should be taken care of.

yes i did pass that s2000 
. I actually passed quite few S2000s (there were 5 signed up) and other faster cars, mostly because most of the drivers in the white (beginner) group were too scared to take the long sweeping right turn too fast, so ended up right on their tail on the straight. That turn is scary, but I guess I had more guts than they did.
I didn't see how the crash happened, but people behind him said he just simply slid off to the left. Looking at the track map it's kind of hard to imagine how he did it, since that section of track is pretty straightforward. Probably lost his balance somewhere through the chicane.

I think that the crash probably caused that. I have closer pics of that wheel and a section of the wheel had been gashed and broken off, and the rotor was snapped in half!
