Did you not wait for the end video credits?

Nice to see you add some flair to your normally sterile driving style.
You are almost ready for a torsion bar 911!


Sorry, I thought we were going for time, not style points for two 360's in a session!

My excuse is I was trying to keep up with Mark in a corner which he overcooked for his RA1's, my over inflated 3 year old street tires decided on the Grosekemper style points instead. :roflmao:

Jad, Jad, Jad.....

Right from the Zone 8 rules booklet. (More or less)

A Drivers Education (a.k.a. Drivers Ed or DE) Event is defined as a continuous lap-driving event with cooperative passing. Passing to be permitted as allowed by Section XVI. There shall be no official timing as the event is intended as instructional only, with no competition. There are no award points assigned for, and no trophies associated other than for pure driving style.

Not quite how I remember the rules, but you are the expert  :bowdown:

By the way, what were you instructing with the 360's and power on oversteer in EVERY corner :?: :?:

Hey, I pulled off after the second 360!
You did look a little green when you got out.
In between the giggles...

Wow, the only thing missing from that "rallye session" was the dirt roads/track. I think that video should be incorporated into the PDS "Pitch and Catch" section of the Friday night presentation.

As for Jad's "Turn-9" stint in the Boxter ... "Hello Tokyo-Drift!" That was one well-maintained drift, Jad. Did you initiate with the hand-brake? :burnout:
