Default Spinning

I had a really fun spin out at yesterday's autocross. Coming out of the slalom a little too hot. Lost the back end through the finish line. I managed to completely miss the timing equipment and the cones...which would have made it a clean run. But I had to hit a cone in the finish lane to get out of the way which made my run a DNF. Still fun though

Call it "drifting" and you'll be one of the cool guys.

It's gonna take a LOT more than that, Dave. His car is still Suzuka after all.

Good thing you didn't take out the timing equipment. I didn't realize you actually spun out after the finish line...

Well, he started spinning before the finish line, so maybe 90 out of, and 270 in?
