From the Nord Stern DE last weekend (Sunday's sessions). For you sadists, the spin is at the end.

If you're gonna spin, that's a good way to do it. I wish my car rotated that easily

Yep
There have been worse spins in 3 usually ending up on the other side of the track badly.

I suppose. All things being equal, I'd rather not spin at all. ...maybe I should re-read the quote in my signature.

I don't know who it was but someone driving a yellow 911 RS-look had their window blow out causing them to spin in 2 on Saturday. Now, that, boys and girls, is not for the faint of heart.

BTW, weren't you registered for last weekend? I thought I saw an S60R on the roster and was looking forward to seeing it.

Yep, but I got email about 10 days before the event that they were heavily overbooked, even without the non-PCA members.
