Why "rooster " ? Is that a kiwi synonym for doofus?

Yep. IMO he should have just pulled back after the first close call....instead of driving in anger.

When I saw reversed on track, i incorrectly flashed to u-turn. We have four or five guys u-turning on the shutdown at irwindale every Thursday at t-n-t (local so-cal 1/8 mile track ).

The reason I ask, my last name translates as Rooster. Guess I 'd better not vacation in New Zealand, lol.

Treat it like an unfortunate coincidence.

He had his turn signal on, so I think he meant to do it. Knew where he was going all the time.
Or a chevy racer trying out his first MOPAR.

You must have spotted the blacked out engine bay.

Definitely a case of 'zero experience' on the track.

Just plain sad. I agree that a big part of the problem was wrong tires and no traction. Adrenaline and determination to do the run got the best of him.

He did the smart thing by not building a fast car!

He’s doing it wrong.

Too much power for an inexperienced driver .

I think maybe too much ego and not enough seat time.
