It's a video, it's 13mb, dial up users, stab yourself and cleanse the gene pool for the rest of us.

This is a good example of wet track and brain fade, about 2:40 in.

Let me borrow you guy's cars with no liability, I'll be more than happy to do some real stunt driving. :twisted:

As long as I still have to pay to maintain my own equipment, I try and keep all 4 wheels on the ground.

Guess drifting jokes aren't going to be funny by now.....

I saw that one time it got hairy, but nice recovery. I'm going to assume you avoided most situations before you go sideways, right?

[Ryan Stewart]

Well I wasnt implying you jump the fucker. Ive been in situations like that on the track a few times. Looks like you had no trouble saving it.

Now if I only saw a train of banners in the windshield going left to right then I would really be worried.

Yea, I was babying it in most spots out there, They got about 2 1/2 inches of rain in about 2 hours, so there was standing water all over the track. Couple that with 1/3 tread azenis, and there were some "hairy" moments.

You will also notice the relative lack of runoff area when I almost lost it, that is what made me go "oh shit".

Why does Kholer, a bathroom& kitchen fixture company, advertise on a racetrack? :?:

For the same reasons they advertise Viagra and beer. Men like to build shit, drink, race cars, and have sex. :)

That's some really smooth driving on the track. Now I want to go to a track event :)

[randomtask37]

i cant wait to get out to the track and get some real experience like that.

my only "experience" is when id be on public roads with my old car (with the shitty tires) in the rain.

just driving the speed limit, or under it, i would encounter some "hairy" moments just like that. would scare the piss outa me.

Don't let Charlie fool you, he really wanted to stick one hand out the window and start spitting drifting cliche's in Japanese while he did that slide.
