Did you ever do something and wish someone was there to see it?

Default Did you ever do something and wish someone was there to see it?

I did this morning, and it bothered me that there was absolutely no way to show for it other than stories using matchbox cars as a diagram, and no one would believe me.

Anyways, there is an S-curve on this industrial road by my work, never any cars on it as it is just a way for workers to get through to other roads and it was closed that day.

I enter the curve a little quick, and I just got this feeling. From the size of the road, no parked cars, good view. I had to loop around and enter it again. Went around the road, came back in.

I turned hard into the first turn and hit the gas in 2nd about 3/4 way until it got out, kept it there as long as I could, then quickly turned into the next one. The car got a 45 degree angle, tires oversteering as the car faced the curb, then rocked back into a straight at 30 mph.

My first continuous drift from alternate directions, and it felt amazing. I never felt so in tune with my car. It was a pretty fierce angle, too, as each time I knew the car could gain traction and just bam into the curb, yet I managed to stay about 3-4 feet away.


Might seem silly to some, but I also wanted to know if anyone else has had one of those moments.

Summary: I oversteer slid into a turn, then kept the wheels spinning and went into another slide through the next turn.

I get those, I tend to drive a bit more widely when I don't have a passenger because I don't want to risk anyone elses life. So I hear you on not having anybody around when you want them to see something!

You know how the saying goes:
"Somewhere, someone is practicing when you're not. And when you meet that person, he will beat you."

Keep practicing.
