I find any spider that can eat a mammal nightmarish as fuck.

They catch snakes too. :eek:

This unfortunate incident happened to a friend of mine last week at Sebring raceway in Florida. I could imagine waking up and trying to turn a corner with my pillow. http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...4-09caa4ea8f04

What happened, do you know?



My brother says the in car camera has been amazing. If he has a shunt, the camera tells him what he was doing, what his hands were doing with the wheel, what gear he was in, the tach reading, etc. It's sometime very different from his memory.

Watch it again, and keep your eye on the steering wheel.

The removable steering wheel looks to have not been snapped in/on properly, and came off at an inopportune moment, which is always when the shit chooses to hit the fan...

OK, I embiggened it and it's clear what happened, couldn't see the wheel in small mode. :smack: Thank you.

He hit the tire wall at 3.8 Gs. Seemed to handle it just fine.

Tire walls are much more forgiving the Armco or concrete. Looks like some steam coming up from the front, but the car didn't fold.

Glatt, nice analysis, I didn't see the 3.8g's. It seems that the cord for the push to talk radio might have gotten wedged under the wheel but it was the 3rd lap of practice. It was in the left spoke of the wheel and went over the steering column to the center of the car. That's not the way we route it in our shop nor the quick release mechanism that we recommend. This was a spec boxster competing in a Porsche Club race.

Whip Spider...

That is so cool!

TOTALLY. AWESOME.

Poor baby.
Their eyesight is very poor - it's probably responding to threat rather than attacking. Look at how it makes itself larger and then starts retreating when the "prey" proves impossible to subdue.

Still, my guess is that's a pet. So perhaps it's exercise and all in good fun.
Better than a shoe on a wall anyway.
