PCD: 2013-2014 Till We Break It Edition
I was working with a DE3 driver on data acquisition and never turned my own camera on Saturday! 
My Sunday sideways vidz are in the hands of an "Editor." I need to change the door on my GoPro for more sound input, it's too quiet. You could hear my passenger cracking up over the drifting though.
I'm not back at Lightning until August

So what you are saying is "Thai is slow and wouldn't have hurt me if he had hit me?" 
[heygetoffmylawn]I only mention it because if I am running in a group of people I trust, I'd expect that if someone in front of me looped it like that, that they lock it down and not come back across the track...there is so little margin for playing around especially in a pack and even more so in the wet. It's one thing if you are the only person on the track but if there is anyone else around...messing around can ruin lots of people's day real quick.[/heygetoffmylawn]
^and that is why I don't go karting with chu guys.

about the karts. we don't go out there hit each other like bumper cars. the only person who consistently get hurt is Fineberg and he hits the wall on his own, no one help from anyone. although he claim that my friend hit him one time and send him to the wall. but my friend said he wasn't even close to fineberg. we're more sore from muscling the karts around than from wall impact.

ive watched his lightning vids many times, tough to see braking tho. i think itll be a different story if i get back there with properly functioning brakes, and can brake later with more confidence.
justin, you know we wouldn't do anything that would risk ourselves or someone else on track. it was late in the day on sunday and most people have left. i think there was only one or two other cars on track beside us four (marc, me, jordan, brian puca) and we all said we would stay in line to get video of each other. marc was in front because he has the slowest car. i can see that he wasn't going to recover from the slide before i enter turn 1 and wasn't going to go around him.

) and your interest in working on car control vs time for a shession or two is something a lot of drivers and clubs are missing. Good for you for giving up a timed shession for practicing car control!When I started, no one sat out a shession because it was wet. The more tech we have (better tires/traction control systems), the less people are enjoying learning car control in the wet. Booo! The number of times I see more than 90% of the drivers sit out a wet shession is disappointing, especially in DE where we should take advantage of slower speed car control!

Too bad we couldn't watch the ITC drivers tear it up on Lightning. They had some great lines through T-Bolt Turn 5 which is similar.

I'm surprised there is all this complaining about safety and rain drifting on track when every session of CTD was just that. I waved off a point by from Marc (something I don't expect again in the near future) because I was unsure of what he was going to do as I got close (of course I trust that he's got his situational awareness more squared away than me but it was a at the moment decision/impulse). My point is that drifting in the rain is fun; especially with awd.
My other comment was regarding classroom session with trackdaze at lightning last year where Colon kept comparing turn 5 at tbolt with turn 7 at lightning "because they are so similar." The only thing they have in common is the direction of the turn. I never nearly run out of track at T5 at tbolt. That's a hard turn to **** up (outside of dropping wheels on exit). Turn 7 at lightning is a *****. It's hard to decide where to be on braking/turn in and what is too early or late. The only time I realize I did it well is when I either catch someone or stay with someone and I can bury my right foot on exit and not worry about getting agricultural.
