it was a g35 and from what i read he turned the traction control off in a turn, started to lose it, let off the gas and snap oversteer sent him into the wall

i think he said it for warranty reasons.
cuz its known in the subaru and mitsubishi community that, if the plate number is displayed on any of the track event/race pictures, they will run some check to see if its still in warranty, if it is, they will void it.

look for snell 2005 or newer. i found my helmet on ebay for $40. $8 shipping. i think it was stolen. its a nice helmet.
about warranties, my bumper to bumper is up in 2 months i think. i dont really care. i came into my dealership with my entire interior stripped out and VHT (sticky stuff put down for drag racing) all over my rear bumper. my service tech wasnt entirely happy with me, but i mean.. whatever. im not coming in for transmissions or engines or whatever. im coming in for an oil change. she asked me grimly, "do any zoom-zoomin?" i was acted surprised, "what? no.. of course not."
haha. honestly, that vht? i have a friend who is a real prankster. and i took out my interior so i could vacuum it better.
my engine will be turbo'd before 100k and if it goes, i think im putting an LSx in there. bring on the haterade.

Here are a few pictures throughout the day. I have may more but compressing them would take hours. If anyone wants high quality version of a picture just let me know.
Begining of the day. Note the time 4:32 Am

THis is the g35 seconds before the crash. Note the angle he took the turn.....
The crashing....
Continued
The aftemath. Best of luck to the driver. I think we can all feel his pain.
And too end the day my average Mpg.

I was thinking about taking TCS/DSC off in the later runs.. kersh had it off
Back in June, I had it off and the 8 wasn't scary at all (it's different now b/c of the cold)

i had my dsc/tc off the entire time.
i can feel it interferring with the driving. of course, the time i talked a lot of **** to chrism about him keeping his on, is the time i spun out. got to love karma!
(chris, i did the same thing. haha cant stop screenshots!)

i looked through the source of the page, but i dont know javascript that well. but considering that photoshop can save screenshots in a lossless format i got them just as well as you. :P
check out that pic of the smoking toyota ae86. looool. that was definitely one i saved.
i also noticed this one guy hanging back... i think he was driving a chick car.. i wonder why he lagging so far behind?
(btw, i got this pic from a guy standing right next to the track photographer. i have 10 total.)
