Default Tracked at American Touge (Horse Thief Mile)

Tracked at American Touge (Horse Thief Mile at Willow Springs) last weekend (Nov4-5)
I had a great time!
Thanks to Speed Ventures! LOTS of TRACK TIME!!
Here's a video of one of my last sessions, most of the cars left already, so not much action.

Here u go: http://videos.streetfire.net/video/d...720023bcf4.htm

Enjoy!

I ran Big Willow at the same time, and saw you guys up on the hill. Nice run. Looks much faster from in-car than it did from down in the pits. After seeing the video, I want to run The Mile now.
Did you catch any of the Ferraris or Panteras spinning off the big track? We had around five off track excursions over two days. Sad to watch such beautiful cars spin through the desert.

Thanks for the vid. Looks like a fun track with the elevation changes. Run off room looks a bit scary though!

NP! yeah the run off areas is nasty. Its basically huge rocks and gravel. With all the elevation, tight turns, and nasty run off areas its just like canyon runs (Mountain or touge).

This is one of my favorite tracks of all time! We've been running drift and grip events on it for over a year now
