A good place to throttle steer at thill is turn 2 left hand sweeper. Its kinda
fun letting the car slide incrementally but not the fastest way. Means your going we bit faster then what the tires can cope with. Regards. Mike

LOL, we are talking throttle steering, not your showboating sideways rally style. your daughter is off to spain, what was the reason you can't make GGR? send wife to spa with some roses and smelly soaps.

This is why you're on PS2s and in a GT3. As soon as you get the tires warm at thunderhill and get the line down you'll be throttle steering around 2. You probably won't even have to think about it. Just focus on learning the track, the line, and being smooth.

I love the 930 there's a near pristine guards red/black 86 930 with only 20k miles where I live. I would love one but wifey is not so enthused : (. Colby- she's an aggressive player but she's has no patience. She had her choice of Boliteri in Florida or Sanchez Casal in Spain. She chose Spain simply clay teaches patience which she does not have. She didnt expect to work as hard as she is now but she realizes its a great learning experience. I dont expect her to go pro but want her to thrive in tennis during high school and college. Mooty your going to likey the lsd : ). Regards. Mike

Wow, those are some incredible academy's. Clay will do wonders for her game. When i was in SD i was hitting with some of the team's starters. One of them went to Spain or France for a summer, came back and worked me like never before.

Can't wait to see her in the ranks! How old is she? And if she ever needs a hitting partner you know where to find me.

Wish me luck, i'll be trying out for CAL's team this year if they're taking walk on's. Otherwise a the nationally ranked number one club team will do.

I need to check on my ps2- if not patched and my mechanic friend still has them u can have them - dont get your hopes high- he may have dumped them . I never tracked it. Started with rcomps rt away since i'm familiar with them on my "crash trash dummy" gti. Never looked back. Great grip on rcomps or slicks but at the limit can let go without ne warning. i'll check friday for ya. Regards. Mike
