I picked up an H&K USP 9mm a few months ago. Looking to get a Glock 23 eventually. I've been shooting since I was a kid and know my way around a firearm better than cars. That being said I don't think it's beneficial for probably 99% of Americans to carry. The problems that arise when you pull that trigger can ruin your life as fast as you end the guys on the receiving line. That and few people can handle the emotional aspect of killing someone. It's not as easy as you would assume. It's funny how most won't take a swing at someone for pissing them off but they think it's no problem to pull a gun.

I used to think it was a good idea and to be fair I will carry myself in the future. Recently some people I know began carrying when in my opinion they aren't fit to drive or vote. It scares me.

holla at your boy for one handed drift.

i saw some smoke in the air over by turn 3 coming down the main straight. so i backed off a little at turn 3 and notice two cars off track and fluids leading into turn 3. i was hardly on the brakes and down shifting when the car stepped side way.

Didn't look like too much of a drift on cam, but nice heads up to see it coming. I'm assuming someone went -1 on motors in their car?

If I were driving it would have most certainly looked more sideways. Was that coolant given the amount?

Eventually! Next on my list is a rifle or two. Some kind of AR-15 and/or Springfield M1A Socom II. I still want to do a few more things to my car, too...

that could have ended real bad. looks like both the cars in front of you nearly missed plowing into the orange 2002 that dropped the oil... pretty sure I know who that guy is, lol.

nice save DK! post up more vids I wanna see that track.

yeah, that orange 2002 drop fluids, they say it was oil but it would have been coolant. the blue elise went off to the left, the miata nearly ran into the 2002. the flaggers were really bad today. that should have been a waving yellow flag but i didn't see it. there were too other incident that should have waving yellow but i didn't see the flags either. someone went into the kitty box at turn one, they black flag the group to get him out but i didn't see yellow. then someone else went into the kitty box at turn 3 and brought gravel out that cover the entire width of the track, didn't see a debris flag.

i'll most more video latter. first instructor session was 50 minutes long

I don't know where the flag stations are there but u sure it wasn't another case of u blowing the flagger like u did for two laps when u off'd it at thunderbolt, lol.

Yeah that 2002 had to be oil cause they're air cooled. If it's the guy I'm thinking about his car scares me...

2002's aren't air cooled, at least not all of them. I know a guy who had one and it def had a radiator.
