Dude, for real though! Thank god you’re ok!

My wife handed me her phone tonight, says “saw this on Facebook” and when I saw who posted it my jaw was on the floor. Again, glad you’re in one piece and hope to see you back in action soon!

I didn't put it on Facebook because I didn't want my Mother to watch it. I wonder who put it up there.....

I don't notice many negative spam comments, at least not without going looking. It's surprising how people seem to perceive things like this so negatively as their knee-jerk. And that's their problem. I pity them.

Even other legit gearhead types - it never ceases to amaze me how little people understand anything about track driving.

There are a lot of arm chair experts. I also get that sim racing can be used to hone skills, but if all you've done is sim racing, and then you go out to put it into practice, you get slapped hard in the face by the amount of g-force that your body experiences. You also run into other factors like, unexpected behaviors from traffic, flags being thrown, and all of the wind noise.

I have a friend with a sim rig that wants me to come over to practice some concepts, which I'm going to do, but actual on track experience is crucial to getting the "whole" picture.

Overheating question:

With a totally stock setup (minus brake fluid and pads) at what temp (either water or oil) should you ease up and possibly do a cool down lap before going hard at it again?

Before I come up with a number...What is your level of experience, and what type of climate are you racing in?
