TD in DC

The abruptness makes me think you locked a rear wheel; either too much brake or more likely f-ed up the downshift.

Why, you lonely back there TD ... oh that's right you not in any group right now

Can't really tell from the little info in the video, but Jazz must have had an exciting time following/passing you

What's that? Are you hitting on me?

i think it was actually pretty boring. i was far left and he just stayed online and slipped under

Maybe I'm seeing and hearing things. I plugged in my headphones and jacked up the volume to watch it a few times. Here what I heard: after blipping the throttle, the RPMs sounded like they dropped way down. The first thing that comes to mind is that you forgot to let the clutch out! Or maybe you caught the wrong gear?

Hmmm...

Not the greatest timing on the downshift, I'd say. A bit late in order to take the corner with throttle on. I downshift in the left bend at the top of the hill. Otherwise, trailing throttle, turning in, and 911. Any other questions?

}{arlequin

haha, no john. that pretty much covers all of them.

RedlineMan

Hey;

Short of not getting yourself into those situations, how 'bout setting your car up with a bit more understeer?

}{arlequin

sometimes you just gotta run what you brung, but i've been told that i may want to look into an adjustable front bar. maybe that will help?

Mark in Baltimore

}{, can you get a bar to soften the rear? How big is your rear bar?

RedlineMan

Perhaps so;

Next time I suggest you brung some adjustability! It is indeed true that you need to learn to drive in all conditions, but that's hard to do if your car is in a tiny little wad.

}{arlequin

mark, i have stock bars all around. actually, front is 14mm 'through the body' and rear is stock sc bar.

Sure sounds like you lifted a touch before the tail shifted. I can't see the tach, but there is a change in note right before. I think you made a really nice recovery.
