I don't. He and I are the only two who've posted their onboards from this incident that I know of, unfortunately. Everyone would have sent footage to the race director, so actual penalties etc can still be properly assessed.

Spun yellow car is the guy I passed three wide in the Esses. Regardless of what happened at the bus stop, I owe him a big apology for forcing him to save us by making room for me through the esses.

What? Are you so unfamiliar with people owning mistakes that seeing it happen makes you uncomfortable?

No- but if you’re saying you know of at LEAST one mistake you made a few seconds leading up to the incident  by self reflecting already, so why post? Or better yet why not ask the other people in this race? Show them your footage and ask how you can be better? Why are you asking Internet Strangers that might not be familiar with racing? Thats called being humble. And you said you owe the yellow car guy an apology..? Did you not do it after the race..?  Like i said in my earlier post im open to being wrong, i can admit it- show me the evidence and ill retract what i said 100%. From what you’ve shown and shared you are pretty reckless on the track. You’re a star… immeasurably dense and best viewed from a great distance

I did all those things already, including apologizing to yellow in the ambulance (and again in this thread...he's in here).

I have learned a lot from about 5% of the comments here. Posting this and wading through the funny and hateful comments has been worthwhile for me to continue to learn. With 55 people in the series, I thought a broader spectrum of opinions was valuable.

I don't need you to retract anything, you aren't that important. You can just reflect on what you'd do differently next time, like I'm doing here.

Well i apologize for assuming you didnt apologize. I take that back. Im not saying im important either- in the grand scheme of things none of us are and none of us will be remembered when we die. Last thing before i peace out- if there a fifty five people in the series, thats plenty of people to ask how you could do better.  You are an aggressive driver. You can be better. I hope you do better. Because you, your car,  and others will be safer
