ROFLMFAO!!!!!!! poor wittle bunny wabbit. Your car didnt even flintch when you went over it!
Yeah pacific raceways can be pretty damn spooky to someone new. The set of turn Jon was going into right before the vid cut off is the infamous 5a, 5b combo. Those set of turns ate rougly 1 million dollars worth of cars in 03 (2 ferraris made up most of that and 1 100K dollar porsche.). The guy that runs the lapping out there (Don Kitch) won the 02 24 rolex daytona in the protype division. He says it is one of the more technical tracks in the nation, due to the drastic elevation changes and no 1 turn is like the other. Last year in a lapping day I tried to chase one of the instructors that was drving a brand new ZO6 through that set of corners and about stuffed my car nose first into a bunch of trees. I don't know how I got out of there without wadding up the car but after the next lap I had to go back to the paddock and empty the poop out of my fire suit and let the shakes wear off (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . One minor screw up through those turns while your carrying some decent speed and your car is going home on a flat bed. |
