I too was watching it happen. He was in my class, and I was watching my
competition from in front of the bleachers. The course was relatively fast
up to that turn, however when the tires came up, he was probably under
40mph. From what I could tell, he looked to not have the correct line on the
course, approaching the right hander, and he realized it, so he stepped out
to the left to correct then whipped the wheel back to the right to make the
turn while heavily on the brakes. Up she went. It went up pretty smooth, no
snap, no out of control, just momentum. Luckily he was not cocky enough to
think he could drive out of it. He let off the brakes and the gas, I thought
I saw him even let go of the wheel right as it started to come back down.
When it was up, it was at a crawl speed.
