Really? Then you should know the right gears and shift points, or have a pretty darn good guess, unlike your excuse above.

A: Oh yes, after a decade away and a 4 speed 2100 lbs car -vs- a 3800 lbs 6 speed I should just automatically assume everything would be the same? Are you fucking retared dude?

So you can't really take full credit for correcting all your slides....it was partly due to that wonderful AWD and DTSC software.

A: Pay attention dude, we shut off the DTSC right after we get on the course, and reset it near the end around the 6 minute point.

Wear it anyway. You're on a friggin racetrack, testing the limits.

A: Yessir . . . .

Really? YOUR words, from 4:16-4:45 in the video:

A: You need to pay more careful attention dude, I was having a brain fart and remembered in the end. Nitto's compared to Star Specs arn't shit, but that doesn't mean that you cant do a DE with them.

And we are talking about pushing past the limit doing 35MPH. A rear kick out or drift at slow speeds on a wet corner are far different than going around a course hot and fast at even close to 100% of what you are capable of.

And my last point, as a hand-position nazi.....your hands weren't even in the same wrong places each time around the track. You were randomly picking places to hold the wheel. ANY experienced driver knows that you use the same habits whether screwing around or actually racing. 9-3 is the correct hand position for drifting, driving at 10/10ths, driving at 2/10ths, and going to the grocery store.

LOL, Once again, yessir mr safety sir. Would love to put a camera on your ass and see if you are really always 9-3ing it, even when you are just on your way to the store, lol.
