Default Went drifting again... more videos

So it's the final event of the year. Last event I destroyed my set of tires, so I went to my tireshop to pick up the final set. Turns out they accidently threw it out . After a bit of searching, they found a set of Viper fronts, 275-17 Michelin XGT's or whatever. Crazy how Viper fronts barely fit on the rears of our cars (there's some rub). The tires made life a bit tougher... they're super hard tires, so every run I do after a cooldown, it'll oversteer way too much. After the first run, I'll get 1 or 2 good runs in before they get hot enough and start gripping and understeering heavily. Worked around it and got a few good runs in.

The HDTV clip only works for fast 2Ghz and faster computers with fast video cards, so only download if you meet or exceed the specs.

Damn Rage. I must say I'm jealous and impressed. We dont have any events like that around here, so the majority of my tire smoking fun is done afterhours (2am) in industrial lots. Great clips!

I was in 1st and 2nd gear. The course was really in between gears, so I upped my revlimit from 7000 to 7250rpm so I can stay in 1st longer.
