Chuckwalla Valley Raceway 4/10/10

First official "car" track event at this brand new race track in Desert Center, CA. This particular group was quite strict on what they allow you to do on the track. My friend and I were just having some fun running with each other. By the 2-3rd lap, our tires started getting a bit slippery, and we were sliding around a little bit. We were both black flagged and warned for "Drifting" and "Racing" each other, which they did not allow... Still a fun day overall, and a great new track.

Dude, slow down

That's some awful driving. I would've blackflagged you too.

Not surprised at all you were black flagged. It's a track day, not Tokyo Drift. Your tires became 'greasy' because you lack the ability to keep them within the ideal operating temperature due to your lack of driving finesse.

Track days are about improving your skill in a controlled environment. There is nothing skillful about sawing the wheel into a corner and planting your foot on the way out leaving a trail of tire smoke.

Sure.. it may be fun, but not for a Trackday. Honest opinion. ;)

umm okay. At about 6:50... you're drifting. It's awesome and I totally watched it like 3x... but yeah. You're drifting. :-)

What group were you with that was so strict? Anyway, great video.

[sergemeister1]

Sure, blame the tires.
