Most of them are from my first few track days last year, but some are from this year....none too recent though.---So, sorry if I may not be too fast or too smooth. I've gotten better over the last year....only to improve more next year I hope. Hopefully I'll get some more videos up when I have time over the winter.

Hey I really like the Skid pad. You did great after the instuctor said to hit the gas!!! Later John

Looks like some serious fun you had out there.

The skidpad is fun! That was really my first track weekend and first time on the skidpad too. We only got about 3 or 4 minutes. I did much better this year when I had another chance at it. The thing with going with the BMW club is, he says "Nail the gas" in 2nd gear on a wet skidpad. 2nd gear in an LS1 is much different than 2nd gear in a lower HP/Torque BMW. Next time we did it in 3rd, which tames the car a bit, but it's still pretty torquey. "Blipping" is more appropriate.

yes I know what you are saying, My first time on a skid pad came in a FWD citation and it actually got .84dry. Next time was in my bird, .79wet and .90 dry.. What I have found is to be smooth, pick your speed up and keep it there. If I didnt screw up my wet it would of been even higher. All these reading above are a 2 lap average going clockwise then counter clockwise. But my car pushes to much for my liking.

You said its wet, That why it seemed to come around so easy. I cant remember what gear I had it in. I have to review the video tape to see if i was in 2 or 3. If I ever can get someone to put my video to a disc, you can see some really bad misshift on my part. Namely a upshifting 3 to 2 or a downshifting 5 to 1 is kinda funny.. Later John

OH Ps your driving instuctor seemed to be having fun a WGI

Yes he was. All 300 lbs of him weighing my car down. That was my 1st time at WGI, which is now my favorite track. I was in the beginner group at the time.
