I only wonder why the post from the SCCA cornerman was deleted?? Indications are that he posted something about the incident from his perspective that the mods didn't like. Perhaps the driver was still under full throttle and not full brakes?

Either way, here's a pic of the car coming out of the water.

Its too bad that the post from SCCA was deleted. Like with anything else, there are 2 sides to the story and it would have been interesting to see his perspective.

Yes, it would have been interesting to read a different viewpoint of the incident!

But it was refreshing to see that the CF guys changed their tune once the driver posted his account. They went from bashing him to all out support including offers to help him fix the car! I hope they get that ZR-1 back to operating condition! Too nice of a car to junk it!

They happen to the best of us... even professional racers crash every so often.

Turning that stability control off DOES have its consequences.

And......if you're enough like an idiot or don't know what you are doing, you can lose control even WITH it.
