Welcome to F2, and the demise of the class. Bet a healthy portion of the F2 boats spunout at one point or another. I remember the Donzi F2-22 not just hooked but rolled as well.

Why is that? Driver error? It seemed that the boat was out of the turn, straightening out, and doing fine, then BAM! Crazy...

exactly! i think it was 2004 or 05 though. Dave Edelstien had it in 03. Thats when he spun it out while testing in brutally cold March water up here in NJ.
