My track day video

Here is a video I put together of my track-drift day at thunder hill. The track conditions were pretty bad, it was damp out in the morning then the rookie drift guys were spinning out and getting mud all over the track. I had some pretty good dirfts on the track most of which I really wasnt trying to do, best one was coming out of turn 2, for those of you who have run this track know your going pretty fast. I edited in all the best stuff from each turn.

Looks like fun.
I did this track during OTC. Turn 1 was a blast at some serious speed, can't imagine in the wet.

I had the Kumho v700's on the track and the stock goodyears for the drifting, the stock rears only had about a 1/4 of the tread left when I started the small drift course, only got about 10 of those laps before the tires totally fell apart with big pieces falling off. The Kumho's felt good but my freind in the black z06 had toyo's and I think they stuck better.
