2010-2011 Road Atlanta HPDE Mistakes Compilation

Here is a compilation of my Road Atlanta HPDE mistakes from my first two years. There are five clips in the video - some with slow motion. I did have more screw ups than these but unfortunately (or fortunately :), the camera was not rolling. Only one of the mistakes in the video resulted in damage to the car.

Had a student do the same thing coming out of 10B and cracked his oil pan; you have some nice footage here, easy to spot the mistakes, or the places for improvement.... Try to do a figure 8 in wet grounds, practice throttle steer, and weight transfer oversteer... you big fall is on car control skills, faster and on time corrections would've kept the car straight in all those cases.

@rafaelnos Thanks for watching! I will keep trying to go out on rainy days with tired tires in a parking lot near home and practice car control. I know i have slow hands - maybe with seat time i'll get better. Right now I have about 10 hrs with the good suspension and tires. Also, I've never had a good seat/harness so with Hoo's i was always holding onto the steering wheel since i was coming out of stock foamectomy seat. But this season (2012) I'll have proper race seat, harness, cage.

seems like you like that corner a lil bit

@stephen0p0g Guilty as charged - for turn 6, the walls are a bit further away so i can take on a little more more risk when trying higher entry speeds etc. It is fun though.

@bocon007 those walls come faster than you think, I've seen a lot of impacts there.

[bocon007]

@laughsatposers Hopefully I will be able to avoid the walls. The whole segment from T3 thru T5 scare me the most. I have done 97mph thru the esses and a mistake would almost guarantee hard contact.

@WalterRobinson
