Re: Racetrack Stuff
Well my first track weekend on the 2nd day the car spun and rolled!
Fortunitly there were no injuries to either of us.
Oh yea, it was my instructors car

Re: Racetrack Stuff
DT tried to do that to me too, but he was gonna skip the spinning and go straight to the rolling. He chickened out and kept it on track though.JayG wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2019 10:48 amMy instructer was driving his Boxster32wildbilly wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2019 8:10 am

no, not at all. He is a great instructor. I do remind him at every event to skip the acrobatics.32wildbilly wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2019 11:02 amAssume you found a different instructor cause I sure would have!
Besides it was the best way to get "roll a car" checked off on my bucket list
