Way too funny.. I just saw him... and his brother, and his cousin, and possibly some other family and/or club members at the Glen just yesterday.. He came crawling out of THIS, down at the entrance to the Laces..

Re: track days can be fun...sometimes.
Too funny and for me, it was extra funny.
I have to be honest My very first track day I got pnwed by a woman in her fifties in a miata. I had a 996 and would pull out 10 to 15 car lengths and then in the corners should would be right back on my tail. After the session, I asked her what she had done to her car, just like this idiot in the video, and she said, basically stock, except for her slicks.
When I think back to those days, I just have to laugh at how utterly clueless I was.
At least I did take on decent instructors and I got better, slowly, over time.
Slowly ? SLOWLY ??? Holy cow Greg (Mr. Most Improved), if that was slowly, I can't imagine what QUICKLY would look like.
You my friend are a fast learner !!
