I was foolishly (on the street) racing (again) an RC51. I had the lead when a white Corolla ahead stops to turn left. I was in the middle of the lane and had to brake hard to miss it, while RC51 boy slides by on the right shoulder going for broke. I lined him up down the next straight and was going into the next left on a outside inside late apex pass when I see him brake and pull way inside. I am already committed and he has teh space I need to be in to avoid a huge patch of sheetrock or concrete dust (never figured out what) and I run through it leaned over, tuck the front, slide the nose all the way into the oncoming lane (whew, nothing coming) and then the tires catch clean asphalt, sending me over the side. Basically hanging on with my hands and right knee pit. I managed to drag myself back on before I go off roading and make the corner.
I never race where I havent seen the road surface since...
