Looks like the guy locked up his brakes cuz when he hit the grass and started turning the wheel to the right, it did actually start to veer slowly to the right...and grass is slippery, so he wouldn't have turned much anyway.

That's why we corner workers stay behind the vehicle that is off track, just in case someone else decides to come visit us. Thanks for the link, I'll send it to some of my other corner worker buddies.

Sorry didn't mean to spoil it, just wanted a second opinion. Usually it takes a little while but someone settles the questions around here once the right person sees it.

If they want it to be a suprize dont read past the first post. Personally I like it when someone sums it up, cause then I can tell if I have the vid or not. And I would say that he had something go out in his steering. It wouldnt understeer that much, even if it was slippery.
