Naw...Turn two doesn't bother me. In my Terlingua I can take it at 85mph...but I have to take my line perfectly. If I am off by one foot it'll be 4 wheels off and airborne again partially over and then through the damned standing pond. The turn that bugs me at TWS is Turn 7. It isn't even a braking zone! **** of my way!

I missed running the track by a month due to selling my car. I'm hoping one of the P car guys or BMW guys will let me go with them. I work with a guy who use to race bikes on that track and said it was awesome.

Don't you mean turn 2? That's the one that makes my ass pucker.

How about Turn 1 in a downpour at about 90 mph in a Ferrari 355. This short clip is from me in 1998 during a very wet play day at TWS

Car didn't have any damage other than about 6" of mud packed into the brakes, but we cleared it and kept racing. On the way home the interstate was flooded out and I hit that at 35 mph and turned into an unlimited hydro for about 100 feet, that did cause a small wrinkle in the hood from one of those flexible highway markers.

Before I had the race engine built and put in. This was with 374rwhp. Hoosier R6's. Damn Corvette kept drag racing me on the straights forcing me to trail brake in the corners to keep from rear ending him.

Ah shit, I should have clarified. Meant turn 2 at Hallet. Watch the end of this video...:ROFLJest:Turn 2 at Hallett raceway - Bad, fast off - PCA 2010 - YouTube
