Last December, I cooked 9 like a dummy too!!
Me dropping 4 tires off track - Turn 9 @ Thunderhill
My inside tires are lifting off the ground! Scary!
And it just so happens that the GotBlueMilk photographer was rite there and layed into the shutter.
Explanation:
It was the first lap after lunch (cold track and tires) and my instructor kept talking and talking rite before that so I was tryin to process what he was saying and mentally checked out for a second.

For the most part the instructor was pretty good, I just had a brain lapse ... too much to process all at once. My mind was still on the last corner he was giving me pointers on.

I understand TEAM racing does indeed put on good events, but I think given that their event is almost twice the cost of NCRC and it's on a Friday makes it a tough call, no matter the extras you get for it. I would love to make it a triple track weekend, but I don't even know if my tires will last two days at this point.

well, you can pay a little money for a poor track experience, or pay more for a great track experience.
