A great example of what NOT to do.

good lord even I could see that last spin coming a mile away!

Epic_Gamer · 06-06-2008, 05:09 AM

Maybe he's on downers? Either way get that dude off the track!

TomsMR2 · 06-06-2008, 06:19 AM

looks like he had fun, didnt crash, didnt cause any accidents..

isnt that exactly what hpdes are for?

He was in an open passing class. The ******** newb mistakes he was making proves he doesn't belong there. It's only a matter of time until he wads that car up and maybe hurts someone.

I can tell you that if that had been a NASA event the guy would have been black flagged. He was dangerous to say the least. Gotta keep the tires on the black stuff and the shiney side up. Them's the rules.

needs to work on driving technique and improve posture lol

he also need to learn that you don't have to death grip the wheel lol you will have better response time and better feel of the car if you just hold the wheel lightly.

Also his driving isnt smooth I was always taught that your driving should be like a river carving your path in the track (IE when you take a turn do it properly and dont jerk the wheel back and forth voilently the car should be allowed to glide around the turn. *see river lol*)

understatement of the year

Looks like he was cruising the streets in his home town. 2 hands on the wheel!!!!! After the second off-road excursion, his ass would have been jerked off the track.

Nice Atom that blew by him after the first spin!

High Performance Driver's Education. Lot of fun but you need to keep it on the track. If you can't do that, you shouldn't be out there. They will usually give you one, but bring you in right away and give you a talking to. After the second, you are usually done.

didn't crash by sheer dumb luck... you don't get credit for that

glad he is doing that on the track and not the street, but please purchase a clue and at least stay pointed straight and predictable so all the fast people (the ones that cared enough to learn how to do it right) can zip on by you cleanly
