Is there video posted somewhere of your wreck? Glad you were both ok

I noticed that and wanted to find out if you were alrighty too. Glad to hear it!

damn that's crazy.

I subscribed hoping to see your video. Upload it man

@@route222FAQ lol my notification said someone subscribed.. i was like no way. my contents are too boring to get a sub.. and of course !!! it wasn't even for me LMAO

I was trying my best to re-assure myself hahaha

"It's OK" *smacks tire barrier* "It's OK"

Yeah... thats what panic looks like... when you start to spin uncontrollably, the worst thing to do is panic... but we all do it anyways...

I wouldn't say it was optimism, really as he said, trying to reassure himself... you should try to not control yourself, but know that you will be alive when you end up in the barrier, that the car is just a car and its fixable or replaceable... life is a huge grey zone, no true black or white...

@@GearsandGasoline hey but at least you broke the fwd record so thats aomething good But yeah i feel terrible for the ek, i hope you able to fix it

Slap some flex tape on her, she will be good to go.

My thoughts exactly!

Well this sucks.

@@colelje the car was back together and running two weeks later.

Not really. He celebrated after he broke the record. An early celebrating would have taken place before he broke the record.

@@cesardf4233 lmfao he celebrated while still on the track and wrecked lmfao this is 100% celebrating too early save that shit for the pits.

LMAO Exactly what I thought of.. Specifically the Bicycle video where he celebrates too early . *Edit=Derp Spelling!!

Facts

He crushed because exited too much

Momentary lapse of concentration? How so

@@john-martin He was thinking about hitting the record instead of the track

john martin maybe a split second of “YES I broke the record!” Is a split second not concentrating on the line and the car. I’m not saying that’s what happened, just maybe. When I first got into Riding motorcycles, I waved at a bike in the opposite lane while riding in the mountains and missed a braking point by a split second and it almost cost me my life.

Car behind him spun too. Probably oil down on track.

that guy absolutely ATE that tire wall

Yeah he literally point out KKK

The frame isn't damaged neither suspension which i am greatful for but what i am the most greatful for is that he is okay and that's what matters the most.

Since the frame isnt damaged nor the suspension, he just needs a new fender, bumper probably a new door aswell and some fixing on the rear fender and that should be it, just panel damage

I think getting that record was worth it. Glad no one was hurt!

As long as you're still breathing and avoid serious injury, it really is okay. Everything else is a learning experience.

@Kenny Argueta Ventura no it's really not

Yeh tough break but you save your celebrating till you get into the pits for that exact reason.

It was the very precise placement of background music, narration, then lack of narration/music to build suspense. Typical movie tactics. Every KZfaqr these days is like a movie director.

@devin Herndon couldn't agree more

He still broke the record.

Yup, leave the heavy celebration until you are done.. He took that corner hard right after celebrating and it cost him big time. Even a second of lapsed concentration on the track can kill you.

Jon Hop You’ve never raced on a track before in real life, so how would you know?

@@john-martin g a m e s

@@john-martin what the hell are you talking about? I've been racing for 30 years.....

@@john-martin Im not sure why you would say something like that.. You dont even know me. You are literally making an outlandish assumption based on zero information from a YT comment. The reason I made the comment is directly because this happened to me before and I have experience with this exact scenario. Breaking concentration for a brief second and crashing. It happens. I learned, and I hope he will as well. He was lucky not to be injured. I broke my arm and my leg and fractured a rib. I wasnt so lucky. And like I said, I have been racing for almost 30 years now since I was 14 years old and my father took me out to learn in his 89' 911 Turbo.. I fell in love with the track and racing since.

full send its okay its okay

Haha I get you, but instead of “heat” breaking dont you mean “record” breaking

Shingo vs guardrail moment

Both: " I Wanna Rage My Dream"

It makes 268whp. I think what isn't conveyed is how fast this track is. I spent almost the whole time between 4th and 5th gear here which is why it takes longer to get through the gears, my top speed at this track was around 139mph.

@@GearsandGasoline would you ever consider having custom gear sets? You could have a different trans on the trailer for every track, or just figure it out ahead of time and shop up ready to go

@@GIZZMOTORSPORTS I know this is a nearly completely different question to what you're talking about, but how hard is it to swap out a gearset in a decently modern 6-speed?

@@LazerLord10 its pretty much the same as any of the older honda 5spd stuff. And not too different from any other manual trans. The cool thing about hondas is there are a few different oe transmissions you can pull parts from and the aftermarket does make custom ratios. I believe for the K series the one thing that will cost more is a second gear change, also needs a new mainshaft. What Ben could do here is space 1-2 or even 1-3 a little further apart and tighten up 4-6. Would probably in most situations, everything short of a top speed run.

@@LazerLord10 come to think of it, for this car if its possible do a longer final drive to help the low gears then really close 4, 5, 6

Definitely the best quote for this scenario

I dont think he pushed it past the limit, I think he broke concentration celebrating too early and it cost him. You cannot see how he took that turn, but to me, it seems he misread the turn.. You can see it in his face right after he celebrates, he gets back on the wheel and seems concerned and then loses it.

maybe there is something to that corner

@@BarakaGitari My best guess is that the other driver got distracted by the civic wreck and lost it as well

@@gregcastillo3434 no the civic had passed the turn way before and had stopped, the car behind him had no indication of what occurred

@@BarakaGitari no the turn is fine, its about the driver (anyone not this dude) not realizing how the angle changes and what speed and line to drive and sometimes trying to chase numbers without proper time on the track. do a few days of practice then chase the times, don't do it on the 2nd day youre on the track.

@@gregcastillo3434 He posted elsewhere on here, he experienced a locked up brake caliper which upset the car and he couldn't recover.

insert *dog with the house burning around him meme*

@@fiisho that's brilliant.

bro he legit crashed his car...

@@jameeboo No Ik that, but I wanted to see what had happened and how he crashed his car. Plus I wanted to see more gridlife because it’s been a while since the last gridlife video. I know he crashed, I saw the damage a couple of months ago on Instagram.

@@alexyhuerta10 understandable, have a nice day

@@jameeboo have a nice one

@@alexyhuerta10 understandable, have a nice day

SAME 😂

Couldn't agree more. That's great candid feedback. (Remember, feedback is a gift!) It's no joke, celebrate when you get into the pit safely and park in one piece and take a deep breath (even if it's just a personal win not a track record :)). It will seem like common sense later. Distraction is one of your worst enemies on the track. I'm guessing I'm probably only 7-10 years older than you Ben and I'm certainly not a race car driver by any means. However, it's just enough age to see the faults watching you compete this season. Winning should be a secondary award to getting out there and safely and cleanly pushing yourself to a new limit. If anything, that personal accomplishment (especially without breakage) means way more than the trophy or recognition. Ben you are modest and down to earth, but this should be an opportunity to grow and mature even further (Look up the farmer and the horse story). You've been overly focusing on winning, remember the car hobby is a marathon not a sprint. My first ever autocross event 15 years ago taught me one thing - the oldest grey haired guy was the smoothest and fastest at the event no matter what car he got in! Take it slow and take your time honing your actual skill, don't waste your time on a bunch of go faster mods that just upset the car forcing you to relearn how to drive it every time. It will be fleeting because in the end unless you are at a pro driver level competing bumper to bumper, it's just for fun and your own happiness.

Gotta say, you do have experience with hitting the guard rail don't ya 🤣. That poor R32 😖.

Went to bed 4 hours ago, daughters woke me up. Time for some coffee

So sorry man.
