as i said, i felt in control the whole time. i looked at the speed coming down the overpass and i was doing 81, felt the back slide as i was trying to reduce speed. so yes, i was very aware of the speed.

as i said, i am very experienced racing car driver.

Actually if you look carefully, you haven't made that claim until just this very minute. Care to share who you raced for, in what leagues/catagories you raced, as well as what vehicle you were using for this racing? Also how long have you been racing?

Really? Grand Am? Sports car or prototype? What team? were you at the NJMP race 5/3?

I call BS as well. a pro driver knows the diff between a C2S and a 996TT. He also would have been able to handle a basic on power oversteer situation.

Glad I stopped by to check the list. I needed a good laugh today.

My Yugo Trans Am team is looking for a hot shoe. Can anyone on the list point me to a good driver?

my driving ability should not be judged by a simple test drive wreck. these kinds of things are common place.

once you get to a certain level, wrecks are just the name the game.
