I was going to slam you for "drifting" at an autocross event, but I watched the vid and its sweet.
If that's the fastest way around the course, why not do it in style!

Thanks. Yeah, I had a blast. Best $30 I ever spent. Got around 8-9 runs in that day! Compare that with $20 for the local drag strip and MAYBE 4 runs on a good day.

Yeah, Reedy. Perfect control here. You had it in the moment you lost grip, and kept it there.

Where was this held?
