They won't be up for too much longer...

#10 shows some good recovery... video #11 shows me then unable to control the oversteer (was being induced by the instructor pulling on the e-brake)

bone stock! could really use a better rear sway bar, and I'm planning on that as the first real functional mod

That is their car control clinic. I have not done that in years. I could not drive in circles like that without getting sick.

Sadly battery died out pretty early, so missing are all the other figure-eight, and the final autocross, etc.

Now you are ready for track if you really want to have some fun with your car at its limits.

Don't need to put too much stuff. Just some good track brake pads and you are ready to go.
