Gonna need some time to think about what to do next but I'm gonna start fresh thats forsure. I have never owned a car for 6 years untill this one. Great cars! It's been in lots of crashes in 15 years. 1 thing thing hit me when driving home, It could have been way worse. All I could think about on my way home was my 2 daughters and it made me cry for a minute. I really need to be more careful for myself but even more for them. I was doing fine all day entering at 60mph but I got greedy wanting to go faster and tried going 70mph. Looking at a pics and vids tells me I went to fast, entered late and 4 wheel drifted right into the death of my s14. Im just so greatfull Im home with my daughters.

Yea, its a tricky thing to step up and go faster. Gotta enter early, which means to get the speed, gotta be on it harder up the straight. "No lift" on the run up takes courage, but is actually kinda easier because all you do is adjust your initiation point, and find the right spot (start early and if you dont have enough speed, wait a little longer next run), instead of trying to guess a 'speed' from point 'x' and then changing one of the two, and having to guess the other again.

Was a gnarly hit for sure, never like anyone to break their shit, GL on new shell/build.
