YES . . . I wasn't actually on "The Dragon" at the time . . . I was running with Nick's group on Saturday. I knew early on that I was pushing the limits of my tires (cold temperatures and I should have been running a "softer/stickier" compound tire). While taking a sweeping left hand turn, the car started to slide. I corrected for the skid but the right rear wheel slipped off the road onto grass and the rear end kicked out further. The rear bumper just kissed the guardrail as I was powering out. I have only myself to blame for a rookie mistake. I'm lucky it only damaged the bumper cover . . . no damage to the wheel or the fender . . .
It could have been worse . . . This is what I saw in the rear view mirror . . .
