I think what saved him was that the grass was wet.

So you probably know this, but it appears you were going a bit too hot into the turns and your line was off quite a bit....Throwing the car around like that may work for one or two laps, but in real road racing your tires would not last and your times would be slow....

That said, looks like you had a blast...enjoy

We didnt go with the intention of posting good times. Besides my stock advans were pretty worn, especially in the back because i had just rotated the tires. We had the whole track to our selves for the better part of the day so we just wanted to go out and have some fun, which we did. But i know i am no profesional driver, wish i was but im not.

Some how I felt from the beginning of the video that the STI will get off at one point but never thought you would post it. Tell him that he is very aggressive for no reason.


If that was at Shenandoah he would have totaled the car.

Don't listen to anyone bro. Awesome vid. Its what makes the whole track experience fun. Not the times, not the lines, only taking the car to the edge and bringing it back!

I just thought that your friend won’t allow you to post it, that’s all. It looks like you guys had a lot of fun and the track was open and it was a cool nice day. However, looking at the video again the line on both of you was way off and your friend was braking in the middle of the turn. If that was a rear wheel drive car he would have been history. Also, the reason he spun is because he lifted all he had to do is open up the steering as he was going hot and breath off the throttle.

But good video

BTW no intention to bring down your video at all, I always encourage people to go to the track all the time and stop wasting their money on car parts and what you did is the right thing. I am sure you will be hooked.
