Fowler mounted the curb at the hairpin and over he went. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen.

If you aren't watching the PWC race, do it.

How did he manage that at the hairpin? Contact with another car?

I flipped once at Sears Point (I'm just going to keep calling it that because it keeps changing names) through turn 4, but I did have a tire blow mid-corner.

He got pushed to the inside and got up on the curb. Seriously, a few seconds before, a Fit bounded over it, all 4 wheels in the air.

The Fiesta only got 2 wheels on it. He just had enough speed and kept wheel lock to the right long enough to just have the thing flip over to the left.

A car ending up on its roof is standard for tc and tcb races. Love those little cars.

This needs to be bigger. I want BTCC here in America. This needs to be where it starts.

The sad truth is that at the moment WC TC and WC TCB have better drivers than BTCC. Of course, CTSCC is far superior to both (and CTSCC far more popular than PWC) .

CTSCC? My acronym encyclopedia is coming up empty on that one.

EDIT: OH! Continental Tire. Yeah, I like that a lot. I just never can find it on TV.

I'm pretty sure when I decided to go to Indy, TC and TCB were scheduled for Sunday. I checked the roster again today and it looks like I'll be seeing GT and GTS. Like, fuck, but whatever. Not see you there.

Looks like they rescheduled it earlier in the week. This was set to be a 1&2 on Saturday and a 3 on Sunday weekend like COTA when I first checked.

Thiiiiiis. There was a 500 here that got deemed "Flipper," complete with "This side up" added in the window after the first day. Lulz.

You talking about the wild bubba 500 at the Austin race? Heard about those shenanigans. I missed those races live. Too early for me and I was baking enough as it is being there for PWC and V8SC. Caught the broadcasts on nbcsn though.

Damn. Yesterday was the worst possible time (night class and then something came up when I got home), but I'll be available most other times so it'll happen eventually.

D > Fred Smith
10/01/2013 at 14:30

For sure. It's not like I had any big news, unfortunately. Just a slow night. I watched Louie instead.

It totally was a post-high school cleanup; I checked back on her profile and we only have five mutual friends now, as opposed to eighty or something like in HS. This is good; I've been promoted from undesired to nonessential.
