Perfect example of how NOT to take a corner

My last autocross run I took a passenger along with me. The previous 4 runs I'd been able to induce a slight slide to take the left corner in the slide-show. No issues previously...

However, on this run I had a passenger... maybe 200lbs? (Sorry Tyler, no idea what you weigh) and when I initiated the 'slide'....

Well HERE are the results of my actions...

I always do that kind of stuff on my 1st runs out, to check for grip and feedback. Nothing wrong with a little fun
Keep it up.

Yeah, the original resolution is 3000/2000 so I can zoom in and crop them.

Last race of the fall season is this coming Sunday. I've got 1st place in novice locked up. The next series we run I'll probably run a local category they have called ST1. (Street tire stock) They mixed things up a bit with a few PAX adjustments but it should be fun. On several of the events this (fall) season my times were very competitive. I'm not even on the 'good' tires. (Dunlop's)

Fun stuff.. Hold down your traction control button for 15 seconds and go drive like crazy... You CAN spin one of these out~!
