Going through some archived material on my PC and found this little gem. Had to be from 2003. A buddy, the guy in the passenger seat, compiled this footage from from a Porsche Mayfast event.

First part is me saving the NSX from a spin (barely) and the second is some longer footage of a professional driver actually spinning with me as passenger. I actually learned more from him on that one day than I had culminatively from HPDE classes.

Thought I'd share...enjoy!

It is a relatively easy car to spin. His was absolutely classic, even coming to a stop pointing dead backwards. : )

Looks fun! I love you car! 1 question for you though. Were you scared shitless when she was spinning?

Hope he broke you of that hand over hand frantic clawing at the steering wheel. One of the most important things to break. Just givin you advise...not pickin at you.

I race a mid engined LSx powered car, and the thing has much less caster so requires a lot more throw of the wheel. Hand over hand gets you spun in a car with less caster or overall steering inclination angle. Takes a lot of practice to catch a car that breaks at speed...I been there. Only way to learn is to be out there drivin it though! Nice vid man.

Thanks! I thought that I had cured myself of the hand over hand technique but I guess when the feces hits the fan, you do what's most basic. JVO said the same thing as well, "you shouldn't do that," but also whispered "that's the only thing that saved you."

Love love love the pic of your car in the other thread. You'll have to share more about it as it gets closer to being finished.

Yeah, I'm bustin *** to get the car ready for this next season here. A ton of development to do and so little time. There's actually two cars, each getting different levels of enhancement and change.

I know what you mean about when the feces hit the fan....it happens. Slowly over time I've broken it...believe it or not GranTurismo with the G25 Logitec helped me a lot...lol.
