they dont stick quite as good as they do when the asphalt is 130 degrees... LOL
so its 30 ish outside... coming back from dinner with my cousin.... offramp. 400 yds away.... approaching rapidly to make the light... BRAKE.... let off and set the line.... now i dont think i was trailbraking... but just as i rolled onto the throttle (like minimal increase) .... ass end started coming around slowly.... then faster got off the throttle a bit to try and let it bite.... it did... but im already sideways.... recovered.... cousin thought it was part of the show..... that was phun... note to self. "self... it aint 90 degrees out right now.." yoko ES100's are a great tire... but man... watchout when its low double digits and you are trying to corner at warp factor 9 |

Welcome to dirt tracking..
Steering with the throttle is half the fun. NOTE: You break that car... While doing something stupid. And you don't die.... We will rebuild it and make it go faster.... that makes sense... To me. C |

At a stop light in a left turn lane, turns green, took off in a hurry, put it in second step on it again, ass end started coming around. Scared the piss out of me. never doin' that again. Luckily it was late at night with no cars around. i was sideways in two lanes. Recovered really easily though..... |
