I had a little "off" coming out of turn 9 in the rain. Went sideways, hit the grass, straightened out, and launched up into the brush prior to the tire wall.
Steve went off, but only into the grass, in the same spot. Later, a Miata went off into my hill, and then Saturday, an F-Body up there for a NASA event went off and tried to take off from that tire wall there. Just a mess all weekend :)
Damage is basically all the front plastic, a small scratch on the fender, and a bent radiator support. Very impressed with how the Scooby held up - it was basically a 40mph collision with a dirt wall - the STi launched up onto the hill, with the rear half hanging off the end, and the front half buried in the brush on top of the mound.
The instructor said a lot of cars go off there, but he'd never seen one make it as far across the grass as I did :-P
Still had a good time, but next time I go, it won't be in the rain!
