That was way too fast ...

Track day with PCA-GGR in Thunderhill on 4/30/2011
First watch me pass a Carrera and a Turbo. Then after I pass the yellow Cayman, I am doing a very not-intentional drift through turn 8. (around 2:17 in the clip)
Almost an instructional video for what happens if you are going too fast into a turn and combine it with an early apex (when you should go late)...

Nice video. Great to see an open top. So was that 4/20 or 4/30?  Were you there for the PCA GGR/Diablo DE? What kind of times did you run with no traffic? Cheers.

@Mellowbiker

Yes, sorry the date in the video is wrong this was Saturday 4/30 with PCA-GGR/Diablo

I was in the "green" group

My best lap time was 2:14.6, which was 5 sec slower than last year :(

I laughed out loud when you did a victory fist pump after catching that slide! Nice recovery though!

HAHA.....! Yes...... Nice save Chris! I especially love the victory "fist pump". Great driving and very cool camera angle.
