Thank you!!

actually he held on after the drift.. I had a couple of shots after this sequence, but they were blurry.. I got scared that he might spin and get closer to me, so I started backing up from my spot as I was taking these pictures. I was nealing down near a barrier but there was an open section in the fence where he would have ended up if he wasn't able to maintain control. He did a good job of fixing and controlling his turn..

The shots of the white G35 (#71) were worse, cause he ended up closer to my location and the last couple of shots ended up being blurry. The G35 didn't drift, he just hit the turn wrong, and went waaaayyyy too wide. luckily he was able to save it..

Hahaha, that was me. (in the #71 G) Yep, just trying to push the envelope a bit too much on those Brembo's, (just got out of a AP Racing brake equipped car) That spot you where standing is the second hardest braking spot on the track, and just happens to be soon after the hardest braking spot, (brakes were still a bit too hot) got into the corner a bit too fast not having the full braking capabilities underneath me and had to hang it out to hang on to it. Not pretty , but made it exciting for a particular photographer I saw standing nearby.

No harm in spinning unless you took youself or someone out.

That M3 was driven by a nice gentleman @ ~56 yrs young. It was his first time out and he had tonz of fun.

yeah.. throughout the day I was accompanied by the smell of burnt brakes, not by you, but by the other drivers. I think the vettes, porches or radicals were coming in way too hot!! Great driving by the way... and THANK YOU for making that part of my day exciting... I almost crapped my pants.

I knew you were in control, but I just started backing up just in case. especially since I was closer to the open part of the barriers.

Is your car supercharged or twin turbo? either way, I will have to ask for a ride-along at the next track day... if you don't mind.. I would have asked you this past weekend, but I didn't bring my helmet along to the track..

sweet car!!!

Thank you, this particular white G is just my daily driver, and is supercharged. You should have aproached me for a ride anyways, I always bring an extra helmet.

Great pics, BTW. Thanks again....
