What's the worst that could happen?

Yeesh, talk about excessive input....it reminded me of when you're playing a racing game and you dont give a **** about crashing, so you stay on the gas hoping to hold it out and you fight the skid, only to eventually crash anyway :-p

Doesn't take much to embarrass yourself, though:

I didn't ask. It looked pretty fugged up though!

Watching it again, he hit so hard that the rear corner light FLEW out lol. 2 ****** wheels, rear suspension (and likely, differential too...) is JACKED, front suspension/steering jacked....

....an alignment ought to fix it all :|

I like how the guy comes over to help him on the passenger side and opens his door up right into the curb. Like he didn't already have enough damage from that hit!

That first run scared me!

Thanks for the input so far. The Solo events near me are typically at the local airport, so the issue of curbs, etc. are not an issue.

Also just wondering since I don't have an oil cooler yet should I be concerned? I know the runs are typically rather short but just wanted to know for sure.

You worry too much. Don't drive over your head and you will be okay. We have autox in freezing rain, frozen lake, high wind. It's all good. You control the car at the end of the day.
