Thanks, that was brilliant.
In a similar experience, a group of us went to the Off Road race track at Rotorua quite some time ago and they had a rule (may still have) you had to have a passenger, then and you the passenger swapped positions. The women all paired up and my wife passengered with a woman who drove like a Nana. They then swapped and the woman concerned shouted encouragement and my wife who cloggs on at anything where she's in charge set the fastest time of all the woman of the group ......Except her passenger wasn't shouting go, she thought she was going to die and was shouting stop, had to be helped from the off roader, looking a lot like Scotty in the old Barry Crump Toyota ads.
Did the concerned and sorry noises, then laughed a lot when out of sight. Oh dear, how sad, never mind. Plus I was still set a faster time than my wife, so a good memory!
Cheers

I was trying to figure out how he got so mixed up and lost it... then I realised the car was a 911! He wasn't going that fast was he?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxKwRthq4BY

Original thread here: http://911ukforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=12969&hi...and full lap here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7rOPZOQWzo (caution: fruity language)
It was on his out-lap, reckons he was doing somewhere round 100-110 mph (160-170 km/h) on that corner. The speed was fine, but wrong line, turned in way too early, ran out of track and dropped a rear wheel off onto the grass on the exit. = round and round we go. He did well (or was very lucky) to keep it off the wall though.

Funny!! I think most of us Phers can refer to this one at some stage while doing track days. Got pretty close to the fence at Puke hair pin once going in too hot on old tyres. I didnt know I had such words in the vocab !!! Makes ya think twice about taking the P&J to the track!! Gassing Station | New Zealand | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
