Thanks for sharing ZEDohSIX. Watching the vid makes me want to go out on the circuit. :v

What's the cost for one of those drivers ed's if ya don't mind me asking?

The one at Eastern Creek was $250 for the day giving you LOTS of track time (80+ laps), access to driving instructors to help you improve and a not very exciting lunch. It does assume however that you are confident with your car handling skills to begin with.

If I step out the old girl and loose her one more time I'm going to shoot myself. Gotta learn how to handle these LS diffs.

If you want to improve your car handling skills I recommend instead the Peter Finlays Race Drivers course I have mentioned in other threads. Murray Forman and Bob Lynne went on one with me last year. $700 for 2 days but at the end of it you know your car and how it behaves under almost every condition.

not bad, must be god feeling to drive at a top speed of 219Km/h

Don't know about god like but there is certainly a wide smile.
The thing that brings you down to earth is that about 2s after you are doing 220 kmh you are hanging on with everything you've got (toes, fingers, buttocks) sliding the car around a 90 degree corner doing in excess of 160kmh wondering "am I going a bit quick?".;eek

I love how you can see (and this is rare for you and a factor of finding the limits) you can see the car move around a little towards the middle and later half of the vid. I bet it was a blast. :v
