Someone needs some driving lessons. BTW, most of these cars are Stage 3. I know several of these guys.

well, that drift wasn't really fancy

I'm definitely guilty of hammering the throttle at the apex when I see a group of spectators.

Hopefully my power oversteer hooligan antics look better than that!

Apparently he was full of jaggermeister at the time...The Audi Corral guys really let go at this Petit Lemans race...they have for years. I have pics of them overturning a golf cart about two years ago (in the infield). Dont get me wrong..these are good guys...not idiots..but occasionally they do idiotic stuff...I bet they dont get to do parade laps for years to come because of this..the track officials were not happy at all.

BTW, I lead the group of Audi A4s on a parade lap during the Monterey Historic races at Laguna Seca raceway back in August 1999. Here is a pic. Mine is the red one.

And no..I didnt do anything stupid like this guy did in the youtube video. We actually had about 300 cars in our parade lap.

Here is a pic of me concentrating on my lines...

Dude - your license plate belongs in the Castro.

S4to335 · 03-18-2008, 10:18 AM

Castro district? Nah....I use to work in SF for 8 years..downtown..but only drove thru the Castro once...and drove fast at that.

How many laps did it take to pass the guys on 4 wheelers, and how were they doing on their apexes?

The four wheelers were telling us to slow down...and they were just parked...we could pass them easily.

I thought he recovered pretty well, most people would have just gone around.

He actually knows how to drive just fine...he was just doing it for the crowd.
