Oooops...I did it again!

I've been on a spin/off streak as of late. But this one was the worst so far on the M F'n warm up lap!

So during my streak I've been starting this new habit of stringing about 20 obscenities together. Unfortunately, I had a student and forum member (trackjunkie61) in the car...with the headset in.

Here's a week earlier...trying a new line into this corner and I got mixed up.

Way to go! Maybe you should go back to prepping before track days!

bigjae1976 · 04-12-2014, 09:51 PM

And I have a good excuse for this one...I bought some used wheels which came with decent NT05s! Apparently, they were terrible in the wet. Along with a moment of retardation.

Then one at COTA. Went straight off after T20. Some f'ing 330 suckered me in to a late pass...off all corners in TX, T20 at COTA has to be the worst corner to take a late pass on because there just ain't no way.

Next track day goal...stay on track at all cost! Didn't spin for a long time until I started to cut back on the drifting.

Maybe slow and sideways is your thing?

This one is definitely worthy of the "John Deere cap"

Thanks for sharing!
There are quite a few things that a decent coach will be able to work on with you.
Good luck for keeping it on the track!

As 1MOREMOD touched on...its the prep. I'm in Milwaukee and the car is in Houston. So for the last year I fly in, spend a day working on it and then I'm at the track. No prep and I'm already worn out from traveling. The result is a lot of inconsistency in my driving. Some days I'm on it...other's I'm not. My lap times steadily decrease throughout the day which is unusual for me.

Won't have to worry about that in 3 weeks...the car is coming to Milwaukee!

I did mention to the facility staff that their grass needs some work.

LOL, I had a John Deere decal on my E36M3 club race car. Self applied since I had at least one off per club race weekend. Never off at a school, but club races...all bets (and my car) were off!

I'm always happy to entertain!

F'ing Eh! I imagine my disappointment when I see the thread title, settle down for some quality Britney Spears time...and it's BJ up to his usual shenanigans...

Can I suggest you change your screen name from bigjae1976 to "bigjae180" or "bigjae360"?

I noticed the US Army paint on the helmet. Active duty?
