Thread: What NOT to do

  1. #1

    Default What NOT to do

    See if you can count the number of things wrong in this video.



    From another forum:

    Average lap thought process:
    I better check to see if my parking brake is off... yep, it's off.
    Is it still off? Yep.
    I need some sweet tunes, better turn on the radio.
    I feel something dragging, is my parking brake on? Nope, it's off.
    My side mirror is off, better adjust it. Ok, good.
    I forgot, did I turn off my parking brake? yup, it's off.
    Is my video camera on? Yup.
    Is my parking brake off? Yup
    I can't hear the tunes, better turn them up.
    Wait, I forgot, is my parking brake off?
    M3 is always the answer.

    Sure seems to be interested in everything but actually driving.

    I ran TWS last Friday and a guy in a GTR did me the favor of checking-up on the brake at 140mph. Add that to the list, please.

    I also like how he holds himself in the seat with the shifter.

    He may be doing all that wrong, but at least he's using bad-ass gloves with a leather steering wheel. lol

    Is that Altiain??

    The scary thing is I bet that's more common than we want to think. With the increased popularity of HPDE events across the country, there are bound to be more idiots out there. He was probably a "good boy" with his instructor in the car and once he was released, he decided to "chill". Scary stuff indeed.
    ...and across the line.

    Nope, but I taught him everything he knows.

    I don't have time to look at my damn gauges, how the hell is this guy so distracted? I also don't have time to wipe the tears away.

    I stopped at 1:13 and couldn't watch anymore. I would have asked to let me off at the pits... if we made it that far. LOL!
    I use to worry about money; but then realized I don't HAVE anything to worry about.

    I have to give him credit of not having the 'dead man grip' on the wheel. One-hand driving is really cool! The only extra thing that he needed to be doing was to hang his elbow off the widow and had a Coke in his the other hand!

    I wish he had adjusted the visor more. All the best drivers do.

    Why would he mount his "push to pass" turbo boost kit on the end of his hand braker lever???

    I think he pressed that button 18 times. Talk about OCD.

    flash to pass? that button's connected to his remote anal vibrator. oh, you didn't know? that was only 5/10'ths! haven't you seen his other video's? lol... and his other videos show off his super guido - 1 hand driving technique.

    You guys are too harsh. It's obviously just a charity toy run event.

    Do you have the Ridgeline SI? I've heard that they are great to run flat out in.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    Reminds me of that video last year where the guy was pretending to drive a ferrari and danced to lady gaga and drank coffee, too bad this video is real. I'd be scared to have that guy on the track even if he was all by himself. lol.
