dang Donna you were soo close.

Brake harder, brake latter, downshift just before turn in, allow the car to slide and track out left, dont pinchet it tight to the right and you will be flying though there in no time.

First thing I noticed... no need to downshift that early, unless you want the car to sound cool for all the spectators! Tom covered the rest

I haven't been to class for a few years. Must have missed the new cardinal rule......

"If all else fails just let go of the wheel and pray!"

All kidding aside, not too bad. I'm sure you've seen the vid of me kissing the tire wall at Oak Tree so I'm not one to throw stones too hard. I'll also have to post the one of me running over the 6' black snake that was hurrily trying to cross turn 3 before I turned it into road grease....

I think it's a great vid - love the sound.

RAFTRACER's laughter and clapping is classic - good fun!
