Bad location for autox. Pretty much inevitable that someone would hit that sidewalk, or the wall on the other side, or something. Those things just happen, and the event location should be chosen for having enough space that when they happen, you just ride it out and yell WHEEEEEEE!

it didn't even look like he was going that fast...... did he hit the gas instead of the brake?

Looked almost like there was sand that he hit by not keeping it on the course.

Looked like he way over-corrected the car. The back end started to come around a little, but then he whips the steering wheel to try to correct it and then it seems like he puts on the brakes instead of hitting the gas to drive out of the spin. Two mistakes compounded and that's the result.

I would be so dejected I'd want to crawl in a hole. That's a goodlooking Corvette, too.

Looked to me like he hammered the gas to gun it down the straight and only one wheel hooked up, then he stabbed the brakes after he realized it was going wrong. You can definitely hear him get on the engine.

I imagine the suspension is way less forgiving than stock.

Very strange to watch the video. A different angle would likely make more sense out of what happened.
