Went to a local meet last night, this stage 2 TT 300ZX wanted to run.

I line up 3rd gear around 55mph, I guess the road ahead was a little more wet than I expected. I was in the right lane closer to the gaurd rail. I punch it in 3rd, I then go completely side ways and for a second my head lights were facing the gaurdrail. I thought to myself I was going kiss the rail, so I let off and tried to correct slowly and it worked, I still dont really remember what I did. Everything went by so quick.

Nice recovery.

 

Hehe I did the same thing last night NA. Even when the road is slightly wet punching the gas is like driving on ice.

 

Good save! I cant get over how much rain we have gotten this winter

 

YES! FL sucks, its been so wet lately... We basically had no kind of winter.

 

Good thing you're ok. Like I said, you should leave VDC on the highway, it won't make you any slower only safer.

It saved my butt last week when I was passing someone in the rain.

 

That wasnt too bad-your just not used to it. Wait till you build and that will happen in the dry on a hot day lol...

 

I was kinda shaking after the whole thing, I mean I've been sideways before it in, just never right next to a gaurd rail.

 

Is the infamous I-4 that a raced on while I was in Orlando? Nice save....and get used to it....that's pretty much how all my races start out....haha!

 

LOL.. yep thats I-4. Oh, I remember I was riding in your car and the roads were just as damp that night. Everytime you punched it I was trying to hit my brakes in the passanger seat haha felt helpless. Your car made my gut hurt.

 

I couldnt really tell what happened in that video, but I had a similar incident last week. Decided to go out and have a play with my boost controller, got it upto 13 psi, punched it in 5th and the backend came out at around 100mph. Couldnt make the face I pulled if I tried! Luckily backed off and it recovered itself. Stuck to WOT in 6th after that.

 

Nice recovery, that's why I don't even take my car out in the rain.

 

be careful man.

 

I think that's exactly what I said after riding in his car. My ribs were sore.

 

BFG's DR's !

 

Would be nice if they made those for 19's.

 

Nics save.

And how would this help on damp roads. Please explain.

 

I give it up to guys with these higher HP cars and taming the beast. Glad to see nothing happen to the car.

 

i ve had many close calls like that, im not worried about it though cause i will be in the front hahha

 

what tires? rated for water?
