k. Not sure why the following car (w/ the video) didn't get back on the gas once the 911 was coming to a stop on the right. Didn't seem all that scary; the driver did a decent enough job handling things, and the was a lot of room on the sides of the track there.

Rubbernecking. Same type of thing causes miles of backups on the beltway......

Right. makes me wonder what run group that was in. A Black/ Red driver would be back on the gas while yelling "woohoo, I'm passing you back, mother fucher!"

lots of runoff space sure is nice. Same thing at the Glen = scary. What the heck, same thing at the glen = flatbed.

The driver was posting about this on Rennlist and noted that he did about 3 360s before coming to a stop. Then the video is posted showing a single loop.
