Sweet!

First video is about 30 seconds before my motor ate itelf...

*sniffle*

May it RIP.

Thats not me in your car.. really.. (embarrased... DOH!)

I think I said 'straight line' a couple too many times when what I wanted you do is let the car flow around the track and not fight to put it on a line that wasn't natural... When you hit the cones right on the lines that I liked, it felt good to both of us. The car just naturally flowed around the track.

I need to work on my instruction vocabulary. I think got my point across however (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Proper apex cones would have helped out a bunch of other open track guys as well. I guess we were technically guest and the track wasn't really setup for HPDE instruction.

That video was a good laugh (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Preceeding some instructional strings with the F-Bomb gets folks attention.

These help as well ...

"Do that again and you'll have blood on your hands."
"You are to the anti-driver."
"We have Vettes, Scions and a Yerf Dog. The dog fits your driving style."
"I've never seen that done in a vehicle with just 4 wheels."
"Can you discern between asphalt black and lawn green?"

We could have used you this weekend.....

And, when parking a trailer at night, this one is particularly relavant:

"Can you discern between asphalt black and lawn green?"

After loading up the car, I backed the trailer in and lined it up, and then realized that I was on the grass and not the concrete pad. I was looking through a tinted rear window in the dark and could only see the outline of the concrete pad. I just picked the wrong side of the line to park it on (the grass was darker, so I assumed it was asphalt). Oops.(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/nutkick.gif)

Ya know, I remember being real tired and asking you where you were going to put the trailer. When you proceeded to line up perfectly on the grass lane between concrete pads and shoved her back... I thought "smart ass". Apparently you're just blind as a bat... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/nutkick.gif)

I had just said "Screw it, I'll park in the grass if I have to"....

Factory tinted glass and it being dark outside are my excuses. I'm not too blind, I lined it right up....just on the wrong side.

And, yes, we did have a blast. I wish that more of you guys had made it out (up, down, over, etc) to play. Maybe next time. I'm up for doing it again, I just have to see when and how much my fuel cost will be and cross check that against the fun money budget. I spent $450 on fuel in 2 days and I know Chris (CJ-TA) had to have done far worse than that (and Andy too).
