Race Car
Yeah, great.
My girlfriend, Cheers944, is DE registrar for Goldcoast Region. We see at least one of this type every event - it is Miami! - Especially new 2010 GT3RS's with Satin White wraps . . .
Sometimes we get other "Car Clubs" or "Tuners" show up with a bunch of "racers" and all demand the same. They are usually the ones who are heading the conga-line in their 600bhp V-8's. If you are watching on the wall, it sounds like NASCAR during a yellow flag!
But the good side is the majority of the entrants are actually humble, and grateful for the instruction. Even the ones who have been tracking for awhile usually are appreciative for the local tips given by the instructor.

Reminds me of the modded blue 996tt drover, that I had as a student that wanted to shift comming out of T7 at homestead. and said he always drive like this... (we did it my way that weekend).
Then a month later following him out of T7 in another student car, watched him loose it and drive into the wall on drivers left... (~60mph) then left in a limo before the wrecker arrived....
Funny I haven't seen him since!
-Remids me of the pboc Steward saying.... Other Sports Beckon... (OSB)

Jeebus... I posted this thing for the first time right here less than 48 hours ago. It's gone viral. Over 12k views as of a couple hours ago, and Youtube is asking me if I want to sell ads on it (pffft). I just did a google search for "trackday comedy" and this is the list as best I can tell:

Sheesh. If I'd have known this many people were going to watch it I would have spent at least a moment or two editing out the deadwood to make it shorter. I hope this doesn't count as my 15 minutes of fame... if so I want a do-over.
Still... I'm glad to have provided a laugh.

Finally something on the InterTube worth watching.
Very well done, my friend.

http://www.xtranormal.com/ is apparently the software used for Flat out and Swooping.
This stuff is hilarious. The Internet is going to be a whole lot slower when this thing gets going.

Anyone have a link?
I got a link to the Flat Out video from my father...who doesn't even care much about cars...said he thought it was hilarious.
Nice job!

For those of you not sick of the theme yet...
This morning someone put up a response to my video... an R-rated remake. Pretty funny stuff. Is this by one of you guys?
Happy Friday!

Make it simple:
I drive my Car FLAT OUT
Kind of like the shirt you see once in a while " I AM the Stig". Only those that know, know.
