Hahaha....Good times. My explanation:
1. The E-brake u-turn at Lovelock was VERY well excecuted and I think I would have made up time around that turn. I screwed up by overpowering the exit, and spinning all four wheels and sliding off the course. I was having too much fun to lift

Honestly though, as quick as the car rotated, I think that may be the only instance where the drift might make up time.
2. Debbie, I'm sorry...hahaha. I got crazy at that right hander because there was so much dust in the car from #1 (see above) that I could not see properly. I should have just stopped.
3. Nick, the MSpaint illustration you are referring to was not this event, instead, it was to explain the Solo Trials crash I had (also at Lovelock) where I went off into the desert sideways at the top of 4th gear

This is also known as the origin of my motto...
"I got this bitch!"
