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. |
Theo was crazy! (Where's he been lately?) But for that matter, Matt and MikeK and Sperry are crazy too.
omg, some of those cones were like half a mile away. Then what would happen is, Matt would clip a cone, I run out & set it back up, then Scott comes along & clips the same cone. Ahggg! Can't breathe!
