Hahaha, arguing over nits, when you're both actually right. I sure hope it doesn't confuse too many noobs. :helllo:

 

Two days until your next blue star!

 

[QUOTE=CKit,Feb 8 2009, 02:32 PM]I guess you're right and he could have completed his braking in a straight line and was accelerating out of it when he lost traction... then weight transfer would be an issue.

 

Sounds more to something I know from when I was leaving in south of France: if it doesn't rain for month, at the first rain, the dirt on the road makes driving like being on ice! I know to always drive very carefully in such situation until enough rain has washed the road clean. I agree with the others that this can't be hydroplaning

You were lucky

 

LMAO...yeah i know...i got carried away with the username....

Thanks guys for all the useful infos...

I have been meaning to start AutoXing, i just don't want to damaged the car...I have to go see it up close.

Yup, unless you're running on slicks, it would be impossible to generate the thin layer of water necessary for hydroplaning at that speed.

 

^^ Good job saving it, I forgot to mention this in my first response. The fact that you did not hit the curb proves that your are within the top 10% of drivers on the road.

 

You're more likely to damage the car without the skills you'd develop at autocross.

Get some blue tape, drive within your limits, and your car will be fine.

 

Or that he's lucky. Or that the curb was far away. Or that he's lucky...

 

LOL... Ckit, at least give me some credit...
