    VERY NICE recovery!

    What track is that? Looks like an old WWII Air Force training base.

    That would be Texas World Speedway in College Station, TX. You can get a better sense of it from this video. Warning; I am painfully slow.

    That is one STRANGE race track but it looks like a hoot to drive!

    Thing I found interesting watching the video is, you said you were "painfully slow"? In fact you're catching up in the corners and they are leaving you in the sagebrush on the long straights.... Hmmm?

    The racing surfaces remind me of the old WWII Air Force training runways we used to race on in Arizona.

    Looks like you lifted and then started the turn-in... amazing how quickly a spin can happen.

    What are your toe settings?

    Default Oh damn

    I thought this was yet another thread on FB shifters, this one started by an "againster".

    Yes, cold tires. First lap in the morning and too much air. Then there was all that oil, of course.
