Hey Ben,

It looks like you learned that from one of my school videos.

Are we safe to assume that the only thing damaged was your ego?

Yup...car is still straight! I qualified 3rd in class...5th on the grid. The start was S-L-O-W! We took the green at about 30 mph. Needless to say...my '84 RX-7 is not a torque monster! I got smoked by all the Hondas when the green flew and I was frustrated to say the least! This was a prime example of driving frustrated instead of intelligently. You can see that I lose the rear at the exact time that I hit the concrete patch.

By the way Gregg...Jake Gulick told me to contact you about an Isaac setup. I am definitely going to get one H+N system in one form or another before next season!

Jake? Oh, I don't know about that guy...

Your spin reminds me of my first spin, which was at an SCCA school. It was one of those infield road courses, perfectly flat with a grass runoff that seemed to go on forever. I was in an open-cockpit car and distinctly remember blue sky, clouds and grass clippings all spinning around.

funny guy........

sucks Ben! I wish they would pave all the gravel traps, although it would put a big dent in shop vac sales!

At least you don't have blue armco paint on the car! Good idea on the H&NR ...gregg has some great products at all price points.

Gregg, be nice to ben,as Ben's a guy who knows some cops in your neck of the woods...........

Geez Ben, you did that in the dry? I was really expecting to see video from Saturday in somewhat more "challenging" conditions!

Hey Ben - its Jo from Smartys Auto! Great video - in our neck of the woods, we have nothing but dialup ISP service available so I'll have to have Robert come down to my office in Catskill to view it (where I have cable modem svc.). I told him about the video and he said .... :119: :P - and is very glad u didnt hurt the car!
He's off to Nelson Ledges in Ohio this weekend for the final enduro in the NESCCA enduro series and looks good for winning the 2005 championship
Take care - call if you need anything!
