Sorry to hear about the crash, but quitting autocrossing isn't the answer IMO. If anything, autocross more to learn your limits better. Try getting some instruction or driving a more open course. I realize you may have been pushing it more than normal on the last run, but you were WAY overdriving the car. Smooth is fast. Being jerky with steering/throttle/brakes causes slow times and spins (as you no doubt have learned).


Don't quit, just learn your limits! That's what autox is for. Just be careful out there

I sounded harsher than I meant to earlier. Sorry about that.

Swerved to avoid roadkill, flipped three times at ~50 mph!

Wow...two very lucky guys. Gravel is not your friend, especially in a curve - animal or not.

These posts scare the living crap out of me. In a NY second, the S2000 can go from pure joy to instant terror.

I love them. They're a good reminder to stay aware of what you and the car are doing.
