My best crash yet happened after a 180-degree spin in the last turn.
Since my car was facing backwards and very close to the finish line,
I figured that putting in in reverse and punching it would be quicker
than turning the car around. (Hey, it worked for Jeff Gordon in the
Pepsi commercial, right?)
Anyway, my control of the car in reverse was a bit off, and my left
rear wheel hit something at the base of the flagman's tower at a
pretty high speed. If you want to see some amazing multiple-axis
midair pirouettes, give that a try. Absolutely gut-wrenching from
the in-car view.
