It is Grattan right after the jump before turn 5. My problem was that I had been told that there was that jump, and that with such a fast car I would get very light and had to wait to get on the brakes until the car was settled.
Despite doing a good 30mph (at least!), I did not feel the car get unsettled at all, and when I saw turn five slowly get closer, I wondered if I had missed the jump. Naturally, I turned my head around to look behind me for the jump, and accidentally turned the wheel at the same time. The rest was caught on camera. Next time, I'll go with the Audi club. They walk all 2 miles of Grattan!

Bob,
If someone on the forum was at Road Atlanta with a camera in the esses during the Panoz qualifying session the day before Petit Le Mans, they could show you pictures of an interrupted 360. The wall interrupted it. Does that count?

I don't know the track, but this is sounding like a spin on a straightaway. It that's right, things are looking up for this applicant. However there can be absolutely no poaching on the FA title.

"Interrupted 360s" do count to some degree, just as "tire wall aided 360s" are counted. Sometimes you need to use that tire wall as a pivot point to complete the rotation. A Vertical 360 is a top points getter, but the landings are a real bitch!
Since FA has the bakery under control here, what can you do with things like prime beef or a rack of lamb? (be very careful discussing either on this Forum!).

Yes, that "explanation" could be used as proof that the car will go where you are looking.
I'll add my support too. Not clear on a title quite yet......
HWFMR Director of Ocular Droving?

I do a mean Béarnaise. It has been tested on great cuts of beef and lamb. I also made it once directly on a grill where brats and hot dogs were cooked at the same time. A hot dog never tasted so good (I'll take the flak for mixing the two. I don't care!).

Just for clarity, brats and beer are at the track. At home I am fortunate to have a wife that is a Culinary Institute Grad and experienced chef, with a small restaurant-like kitchen at home.

Bob, good to hear about your kitchen at home. You should have "Fine Food" in your signature!
I believe I remember some applicants being given a hard time for suggesting their own title... But I was thinking something like Director of Inline Spinning...

In order to combine both your droving efforts as well as your culinary expertise, I would like to recommend "Team Salad Spinner"

Or Team Salad Tosser if he is into "alternative lifestyles"...
