I had fun too. Those patched areas were freaking ice when wet!

So the next session I took out a cute young lady that said, "I giggle a lot." It was a drying track so some areas had huge grip and some areas not so much. Once the line became normal, I was running hard from a buddy and while braking for 10 I hit some uneven remaining wetness. The Baron was dancing left and right, I jumped off the brakes and counter-steered, but lost it! snap 180º then while rolling backwards I did another quick 180º pointed my buddy by and took off. Unfortunately Yani did not have his camera running. Never left the pavement or crossed the driving line, but there goes my perfect record of 340 +/- days without a spin. I felt better when Andy Pilgrim said he got really sideways braking for 10 that same session. Passenger loved it.

have you considered more skid pad time? i think it'll really help your ability to catch the car when it breaks loose like that and prevent spins.

I believe that's a mating call. Right up there with "I am sooooooooo drunk!".

I have a wedding ring. She was probably toying with me.

Did you see a Grey Jaguar get t-boned at the entrance by the tennis courts? That was my mother.

Lots of nice cars on MacArthur. I was not one of them yesterday, but you'll often see a train of 90K+ cars cruising around. Too many lawyers, not enough poison..

She's fine, other than she sent her car to EuroSlows at the Jaguar dealers recommendation. If she's lucky, she'll see it before fall.

The driver who hit her was born in 1916. Yesterday may have been his last day behind the wheel.
