You're right Ray, that doesn't get old. That's better than a mid-day Starbucks to get ya' wound up!

Re: DRIVERS- Point of View
Dumb day here in 'Zonaland, Jay... Too much crap to do before the weekend, and the big one is trying to get a show ready for over the pond next week... YouTube could really throw a wrench in my schedule |

Funny, I was carefully watching the view from behind the driver and noticed that he barely used the hand brake after the finish line, the chutes were able to slow it down so much on their own that he actually needed a "push" at the turn-off to get completely off the track! Now, that is a LONG shutdown area. Just the opposite of short-shutdown tracks like Pomona and Firebird (Phoenix), where you gotta be HARD on the brakes, along with the chutes, and hope you've slowed down enough to take the turn-off at at less than 50mph, lol. |

We were talking about the second video that Martin attached which is Bakersfield... The video you are refering to is the first video, which is Sonoma... There are not many cars that make it UP that hill without needing a tow... Well mabe I should'nt say that... MOST!! Sorry for the confusion... Did I clear any of this up??
