Mark should talk...."your gonna have to pull over at turn 10 so I can puke because I can't hold my
booze" LOL
Yes I did go off....last run of the day....up to that point I was having a great time
.
I replayed what happend in my head on the way home and came to this conclusion.
Came into trun 3 with about the same speed I had been all day..maybe a little more. Lifted the throttle a small ammount and car started to rotate (off camber corner). Counter steered and applied throttle...but not agressive enough on both counts. Car ended up doing about a 90 degree slide and two front tires went into the mud on the inside of the corner. Not that bad
Car blew a tire and mud was everwhere, ego was bruised but body is fine. I am more upset that the session got black flagged and people lost time on their run more then anything else.
To all in my run group, sorry for taking time from the last run.....I will try to keep it out of the cow pastures next time.
I gotta get me some cowbell, baby<ul><li><a href="http://mknx.com/v/cowbell.wmv">http://mknx.com/v/cowbell.wmv</a</li></ul>

On a side not....I was out with him first....he wasn't saying too much :O. I told him Saturday
night when I was leaving the bar (he stayed...but then you figured that out)that he better sign me off or I would make him throw up.
Mark is a very good instructor and I can say I had a few too many at the Laguna event last year and wasn't felling my best. It happens but I would not hesitate to have him as an instructor again.

I was right behind him when it happened...mud flew all over my car...had grass in the intercoolers.
my friend Eddie was his instructor...he drove the car and said in his opnion it was almost undrivable....very twitchy and tail happy.

I pulled the memory stick out of the camera this morning to bring into the office and load on the
computer....can't find the thing...it really is kind of pissing me off as they aren't cheap. I was hoping I would beat people from posting but of course Steve has to get on here

Agreed..he is a very good instructor
And the worst news for me...he is faster in my Miata than I am. But then again..he gets to drive it all the time. Yes, it is true..he is slightly faster than me in my own car.
