Default The Jerry Effect

Here's a video clip from Thunderhill. I did three sessions in the morning, but corded both driver side tires. So I replaced them with a couple of old tires that I had originally bought from Jerry. The Jerry factor came into play immediately, as I spun the car the first time I loaded up that side of the car.

(OK, so it was my out lap, I wasn't quite in the right place for that corner, and I forgot that side of the car was going to have less grip than the other side. And I overcorrected while trying to save it. But I still blame Jerry anyway.)

(I recommend clicking the "HQ" button for a shaper picture.)

looked like you almost saved it for a bit. Sucks about the spin (hopefully no permanent damage), but that is a sweet display setup you've got going

Ray, I know. But it's a lot easier said than done on that corner. You're driving around the outside of a cone.

More laps at Thunderhill.
For some reason the in-line youtube code fails with this address, so here's a link.

You can't hear it in the video, but that was heartfelt "SH1T!" that went along with the punch.
