I remember see this the other day. Pretty much they said it's not the drivers fault. The track was in terrible condition.

That's at TX2K12, supposedly that side of the track was all jacked up, one bike dumped all his fluids and a car too and they never fully cleaned it enough....lots of cars were biting it hard on that side of the track

If it were me that did a spin out, and the crowds were cheering, I would've gotten out, bowed, and said, "Cool, I meant to do that!" Yeah, mama!

really nice save, but yea need a new driver's seat.

Yea that's what I mean. It seems to work because you see the car run off course but the sand slowly brings the car to a stop.

You meant AWD from a stop and then turns into RWD right? It is similar to the AWD system that VW uses. I believe they call it Haldex or something.
