Ultimate Corvette Party
November 19 2005
on the way back from Tampa 11-19-05...
...StuzVette hydroplaned...
suddenly at 70-75 I was rotating 180 degrees and traveling down 417 at 70 mph
backwards...
gradually drifted toward the grass median as I completed the 360...
...as I completed the next 2 360's I could see that I was drifting toward the
dip in the median and would rapidly begin to rise up the embankment toward all
of the oncoming traffic...
...I kept maneuvering as best I could to prevent StuzVette from catapulting into
the 2 lanes of streaming traffic...
...and StuzVette drifted ultimately to the edge of the inside lane of on coming
traffic...when it completed yet another 360...
I steered from the inside of the apron facing on coming traffic as I drove just
into the median again...the rear swung into the grassy median...
StuzVette stopped moving finally with the front fascia on lip of the asphalt
apron on the opposite side of the median...and facing directly across the
opposing 2 lanes...
no damage that I can tell yet...
...Stu is okay too... 
Stangkiller (Chris) was traveling home from the show and was just north of me
but came back to make sure I made it home...
...thanks Chris...
