Nice job on the recovery.

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

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...

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.
