Then proceeded to power-on drift the car right off the tarmac and into the desert.  Then at the other end of the runway, he decided to drift the right-hand sweeper off the runway down the taxi-way, hitting like 5 cones with the left rear fender of the car... cones that dknv had to go pick up. I was the next car out and got red-flagged because Debbie couldn't get to that many cones before I arrived at her corner.
So yeah, the e-brake can be a ton of fun... but driving a proper apex is still faster.
Edit: oh that's not the only time I've seen an e-brake turn... Theo's used it to stop after the lights before. |
Why isn't Matt's sig: "Hey Y'all watch this!"
That is classic. I think I remeber seeing the diagrams with Matt's explanation sans the quote.
I'm going to do my best to make this as well so A1337STI you won't be the only newb out there. Of course I have the advantage that these guys have seen me drive at RFR and already got there laughs out!
