You might enjoy this clip.. Was out today testing with some old slicks.. As it turns out they were rubbish..

Nice recovery.

you've been watching too much Cole Trickle in Days of Thunder mate!

**Piers14** · 5-16-08, 13:23

Thanks.. It doesn't always work out so well, but practice makes perfect..

**A Simple MX6** · 5-16-08, 15:11

Nice job on the recovery.

I bet that got the heart pumping though, didn't it?

**Piers14** · 5-16-08, 15:19

Thanks.. Surprisingly you get used to it... With those dodgy tyres I was running I wasn't too surprised when it happened...

**neptune_51** · 5-17-08, 0:35

**kylew4ever** · 5-20-08, 12:56

what set of rubbers are you running in the back?

**Piers14** · 5-20-08, 15:41

Thanks for that...

I was trying to get a year old set of 'plastic' slicks to work after applying many coats of tyre softner.. As you can imagine it didn't work too well...

**guitardude1568** · 5-20-08, 16:03

nice recovery man, i love your car.

**SAdrmmr04** · 5-20-08, 16:08

a little more counter steer a bit earlier in the spin and you might have had a little drift going haha

**Piers14** · 5-20-08, 16:36

Indeed... That's the thing about crappy slicks.. When the bite back its usually more of a snap...

I was running on a set of Super Soft Compound tires that had seen better days last two weeks ago. I nearly killed myself around every turn on the track. Thank God I flat spotted them, bacause it forced me to junk them. Nice Driving and Better Catch.

I love the sound of the engine and everything. Great recovery. Reminds me of the spin I had in my old S-10 when I hit a cross patch of wet road.
