Hahaha....I felt like such an ass when it happened. It's a 48-52mph apex. I thought 30 was "taking it easy". The tires said otherwise. They didn't even squeal when it happened...
Yep, not surprised, lol - glad it wasn't a big deal!

I had the privilege of driving on track with your old car in tandem!
So to expand on this just a little bit.....I may, or may not, depending on editing, end up in the next Gears and Gasoline video!

I tracked Ben Thorn down on Sunday, when we had really nice weather, and asked him if he wanted to pair up at the next session. He was quick to agree! The two of us ran the damn gauntlet, and had fun giving each other point bys and moving through traffic! Him and I both set "new" PB's in our cars on our last run together!

I am watching the Gears and Gasoline road trip video while I complete my yearly "security awareness" training

Kudos on the PB. I see your car now pulls hard. I’m also surprised that Ben Thorn’s FL5 can stay around with just Fortune Auto coilovers.
Needless to say you’ve up your video editing game.
He is tuned as well!
