if you study the pictures carefully, you can tell. here's a hint... pictures number 1 is as high as the car got. there was no way it was going to flip.

Been to enough tracks though to recognize the hallmarks of an early apex.
I'm sure Turbo was blown away by what you did. Is this the stunt that also blew away the event organizers, and as a result, banned you?
And while you say there was no way you were going to flip, if you hadn't caught the spin you induced, all that nice dirt you'd catch sideways just outside the rumble strip could defintiely have flipped you.
Finally, why on earth would I want to try and get some air?
Frank, the Fast and Furious movies are just pretend. Really.

For once Mark, you are finally having a small clue of what I am about. Yes indeed I babble a lot. That is because I'm so much more than just driving... You want to know what I've been doing in Japan and Taiwan? I mentioned martial arts teacher. This is a book that I just read. Maybe Mike can read it, maybe not. Maybe Colm can read it, as he gave me a business card with Chinese on one side and English on the flip side of it...

Judging by the pictures that doesn't look like martial arts. I'm guessing it's more like Yoga. Which isn't martial.
Here's the definition of martial if one was curious and it seems quite obvious that GR has no clue what it really means and just wants to sound cool yet again.
mar·tial /ˈmɑrʃəl/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[mahr-shuhl] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–adjective
1. inclined or disposed to war; warlike: The ancient Romans were a martial people.
2. of, suitable for, or associated with war or the armed forces: martial music.
3. characteristic of or befitting a warrior: a martial stride.

But as a public service, here is what Francis really said:
In order once that the mark, you finally is having a small indication of that what is approximately. Yes effectively babble mólto. That one is because they are therefore much more hardly of guiding... Wished to know that what I am making in Japan and Taiwan? I have pointed out teaching of limbs martial. That is a book that I read hardly. Perhaps the microphone can indicate it, perhaps not. Perhaps Colm can read it, as it has given one card to me of transactions with the Chinese on a side and English from the side of vibration of it...

BTW, I can read that, but with some difficulty. Those are sold in the racks at the checkout line in Tokyo hypermarkets aren't they?

So Mike, how old are you, where were you born? And how much Chinese culture do you know?
No, that book is very rare. It was given to me by its author Mr. HE Jing-Han. I just met him few days ago.

Turbo is the Track Manager, and has been for years.
He also has a ZERO Tolerance policy for **** like that. When you say he was "blown away", you probably meant that he was blowing all over you as he reamed you out for the bone-headed maneuver. I have no doubts that if he knew you were doing that intentionally, you'd have been sent home early. But of course, you'd consider that to be a good sign, and that you'd learned all you had to learn about the track... right?
For those of you that haven't been to Thunder Hill, that is turn 5, also called the Eagle's Nest. It's a blind corner, which is why they have the big corner worker tower right there, and have big blinking lights on it to warn you of any problems.
Having a spin there is NOT GOOD, as the guy(s) behind you can't see you.
Last year I watched a spec miata spin right in front of me and it was a bit of a Code Brown as there's not much you can do... the car is just too unloaded and there isn't really anywhere to go. (I ended up cutting down in front of the tower, over the grass, and down the side of the hill... lots of fun!)

I don't turbo is the track manager. Maybe leader of the corner workers. I've seen him at TH for YEARS. He knows me by face and by car. He was not mad at all. Nobody was that day. Shocked maybe...
