I did not know how serious the problem was or I would have come in. I was trying to finish the race and in hindsight I shouldn't have.

Thanks memphis

KuostA, I bet you're really, really fast around the mall parking lot...lol

if you knew something was wrong, then why put others at risk racing it anyways?

Hey KuostA, you're an idiot. Rob has been driving on track since you were shitting green. I watched the video's on your page. I'm less than impressed.

Rob, watched your video's nice driving... and thanks for all the RX-7 stuff via your website over the last decade plus.

.....during shifting, you hold the shift knob as if it's a joystick and hold it by its side without proper shifting technique, im extremely surprsied u didn't misshift in this video due to your shitty hand positioning that makes it ideal and very possible to put it in the wrong gear.

...NOT revmatching/heeltoeing is unheard of to me and am dumbfounded that someone racing a modded s2k at a TRACK isn't doin on EVERY downshift. not doing so may lock up the rear end/diff/wheels and will upset the car's balance/suspension on braking when you let the clutch out after not revmatching. also even on UPSHIFTS, your shifting is horrible, you slightly slip the clutch on every upshift so it isnt clear and smooth and defined. you also have horrible shifting posture.

holySHIT. watching this video was so fucking hard for me. i absolutely am dumbfounded, confused, and disgusted by you shifting technique and skills. first off, why the FUCK are you skipping from 6th gear to 2nd and such on a TRACK? you should always be downshifting/upshifting gear to gear for teh engine braking associated with doing so and stability, MOREOVER why are you not revmatching and heeltoeing on downshifts? someone RACING a s2k should know that as not doing so is dangerous.
