Joe's a drifter. Mikymu's a spinner.
And just remember... Nobody with a good car needs to worry 'bout nothin'. You understand? Nobody with a good car needs to be justified.

lucky you got radio and AC - I got lexan window with jet turbine noise and heat
thanks for the cool Honda commercial link ... yes, my civic racer is in there but tires smoke is not coming from rear wheels unlike what Honda want you to believe

24Chromium -- good job of staying out of harm's way. I could just feel your quick braking response and rapid assessment as you contemplated driving further left to avoid that guy. Yikes!
What do you think that Camaro driver did wrong to cause that rapid spin at Turn 10 (at 6:30 on 24Chromium's video)? Too much throttle with some right steer input? I can't imagine he would lift there. And it seemed to be well past the crest of the hill, so he wouldn't be unweighted still, would he? It looks like he suddenly applied the parking brake!

Three Wheelin'
i am finally home and can hardly see straight i am so tired! i had a great weekend with the norcal guys and PCA GGR. thanks for all the lead-follow to help me learn the track (esp Lar, i sat on his butt quite a bit to learn the lines), and thanks for feeding me! i felt the track was harder to learn than i anticipated based on the vids i watched, but every bit as much fun as everyone told me it would be. the blind crests in particular took some getting used to.
so, what is next?

Beat the heat, drive on track at night.

I couldn't agree more. That was a code brown moment for sure.
