Briscoe Almost Gets Airborne!

[Chitowncartfreak]

Ryan Briscoe spun exiting turn 1, hit the wall, and the car almost got airborne. It started to lift up, but somehow managed to get back on the ground. He was right against the wall and the catch fence and the car almost put his head right in the concrete when it lifted up. That was scary - could have had a very scary result.

Hey, that crap is on TV, did'nt know that. Sheet, they said Champcar when Seabass took to the track, there's Carl, where's his dog rocket?

Mario/Bea Arthur was talking to Sebastien in the tech line. Good to see.

Lazy lift, that one was no big deal.

Thank goodness. It was scary to see the cockpit turn towards the wall, though, when the car lifted.

Champcar sure is getting a lot of free advertising in this broadcast :rofl:

Looked like a near-big deal to me! He was all the way on his side! Yikes.

Had the rear wheel not folded under him he'd a gone over, no question. :shakehead

NOT watching that mess, but the fact that they lift just from spinning backwards is a big deal. Once they lift the only thing scrubbing speed is aero drag.

Once they lift the only thing scrubbing speed is aero drag. The fence scrubs off speed too :)

When you are upside down, the airbox scrubs a lot of speed.
