the pink slideways cars is sick, has a V8 shoved in there. I saw it at VIR a few weeks ago when we were there for the MX5 cup race

In the exterior view, it looked like that blue 240sx(?) behind you over slid as well. Was there something on the track at that spot? Looks fun.

In this type of driving you tend to base what you do (where you enter, what line you take) much more on what the person in front is doing, that way you can get as close to the leader as possible. Shaun was following me (blue 240sx) and since I was fairly late, he was as well. He just spun (to much ebrake) rather than snapping straight and going into the berm though.

Mike,

The drifting action sure looks like fun... especially in tandem!

BTW, were you running the Rothmans 962 at Road Atlanta last weekend??? I had the sheer pleasure of trolling behind in the GT3... the sound of the motor... INTOXICATING!

Hahaha, RJ I wish! It's a photo I shot from HSR at Watkins Glen (my home track) a year or two back.

The tandem action is a blast, I can't do single runs anymore because tandem has ruined it for me, it's just not fun unless there are 1-10 cars around you.

Keeping in mind, I literally made it to the top of that berm.
