How bad was the accident when you hit the guard rail? Overall, everything looks awesome!

the only "visible" part is the scratch....on damage to the suspension.....rims got banged up pretty badly but i was gonna get rid of them anyway. I was really shaken up, i though that my whole front took the hit, but luckly it didn't. It still sucks to see the scratch there

What's the first tune on the vid?
I love road races like this. Expect a lot of videos from me this summer as my mountains clear up and the roads dry out. I bought a new camera mount just for this stuff!

Ouch! I dont think you should be crossing the yellow lines just yet... I'm willing to bet if you had stayed in them, you would've had a better feel for the entry speed for that corner.

Why were you driving all over the road in the first place.

some of the reasons it happened is because:
1. I turned in a bit early.
2. Front tires are worn out. Rears were replaced, and I waited too long to get an alignment after lowering it which resulted in the fronts wearing out in the inside from too much toe.
3. I braked too late and not as hard until afterwards.

It was the tires for the most part (all seasons + low tread = stupid )

The biggest thing is that it's a lesson learned I will be investing in some tires soon (not to mention brake pads)
