Default Spun my escoss at 100mph ( video is up )page 3

As it says

spun my escoss track car yesterday at brunters at 100mhp

Before you all shout bollocks , I have it on video ( will be out soon ) and had a respectable young man in the pass seat who will confirm this

Came out of a right hand bend flat out in forth and the back end just let go , then gripped and gave us a serious tank slapper at 100mph . we span 180 and ended up going backwards down the runway , and with a flick of the wheel i spun it back 180 and drove off in the direction we were supposed to be going

Looked at the tyres when we got back to our pit area and had taked about 6" of tread of the tyres right down to the wire

To say we were lucky is no understatment I wouldnt try it again for 10k

sorry if you messed your pants Dan

Will post the video when its done

Paul

Dan

I was trying for a little drift ,,BUT NOT THAT FAR , lol ,,

You can see you in the vid doing the thumbs up and then changing it to a two thumbs up

We all had a great day , just a shame we didnt get a little rain to help the drifting

ps, Dan

The piccs of the rear tyres were fook all ,, if we spun the tryes about another half turn they were down to the wire I will take some piccs for you

Thanks again Dan for a fantastic day that i dont think any of us will forget

Paul
