If you look closely at the scene from my Mid-Ohio video of the first lap of
the Enduro race, you will see Colin Pendle in his yellow TR7 V8 really
squirm on the slick surface in the light drizzle as we see him coming around
the far back corner of the track as he heads down under the pedestrian
bridge.
Coming from snowy Canada, where we get lots of opportunity to slip and
slide, I assumed he was only putting his right foot down where it should be
and that the greasy track was the cause.
Don Elliott, Montreal, 1958 TR3A
BTW, the video is still available for only $20.00 shipping included. Hope
this is of interest.
