I could not watch it - terrible angle to watch - I didnt think you could get motion sickness watching a video on a computer...

LOL, that's why I didn't bother editing it. I've got much better in car video (solo). For some reason, I accidently hit the zoom function on the camcorder, and that's why the video is slightly fubr'd.

Not sure. I think I was carrying to much speed into the hump (which upset the car), felt the car lose control, and then lifted (natural reaction) instead of applying throttle to pull me through the turn. What you see is the result. FWD = FTL

My plans for next year (if I'm allowed to WTD 07):

Re-install my Carbotechs, setup camcorder correctly, bring R compound rubber, drive the Dragon (over and over), lather, rinse, repeat...

I have some more tame video of the Cherohala loop, 28, and the Dragon south.

Thanks for posting Steve, you are definitely allowed on the dragon with us anytime! You really ought to run it in an S2000, next time out.
I'll let you ride shotgun with me, Tire rack delivered all new rubber to the (FL) house yesterday, (RE050 pole positions on sale)
You think you might be able to digitally add some hair to my GIANT bald spot in that video? If you do I'll make sure you get the 'special' room rate.

Cheers from Bermuda,
Mike

'Twas fun running with all of you. Just keep the rubber side down. I'm glad everyone can laugh about these spins.

Your lil' Nissan was pretty sick, I have to admit.

Amen, Willie - thank goodness no one in our group was hurt! Hopefully it will be drier for WTD!
