but he can afford the $30,000 steering wheel that points you in the right direction and the $0 of common sense. $200 track days have nothing to do with it.

Whos gonna stop dumbass isht like this if nobody points it out? i dont care what others are gonna think of me, Because the ones that agree with me will reply with something positive and the idiots are gonna say "wahh" while theyre the ones driving like this.

it truely is BS and im just trying to help. I see cars head on in my lane about once every few months on my commute and chase them back up or down the hill a greet them with a "youre a ****ing idiot"

i Honestly think im gonna be involved in a head on someday and im just trying to avoid it for everyones sake,

id like to think i saved at least 1 life in all this 10 minutes of PAINFULL TYPING

yeah good filming whoever was holding that up that steady, unless it was mounted and the driver played with the zoom a few times. And the film car has nothing to do with all this.

dude... calm the **** down. he already admitted his bad after the run. give him a ****ing break.

besides.. whats the difference of killing someone by driving on the wrong side of the road and driving at excessively fast speeds that could eventually result in traction loss and sliding off the side of the road and thus hurting him/herself or possibly even worse, someone else.

if you're going to flame the white sti driver for pulling a stupid stunt like driving on the wrong side of the road during the drive.. then you best be flaming all of us for driving the downhill at speeds 45-80+ mph.

better yet... just stfu cuz u weren't there and we've had our share of flames from each other already... the last thing we need is some other "outsider" criticizing our event.



the point of this thread is to share the video captured with those interested in watching the events of a beautiful sunday spent running thru mt. hammy. and lets keep it at that.

Youre totally right, and im sorry. i know we all make mistakes, i dont know him but there are people that pull moves like that...and people who dont, you cant really go back and forth and cross that line (not literally) of respect.

and i wasnt there and have NO room to talk but i was here:

I WAS LIKE OHHH MAN! if the volvo were any slower they wouldve met at that corner and hit forsure.
and when it turns out that 4-6 months ago when this happened, i didnt even know these guys on i-club, and i end up meeting them again at an autocross it makes you think its a small world, and if something wouldve went wrong that night, then one of them wouldnt be there.

not to mention i have 5+ friends who ride streetbikes.

Yes i need to STFU now, and i truly am sorry and ironicly regret even typing this much but im doin my HW and going back and forth the last hour which isnt working out well.

if it doesnt take a $30,000 car to total, what does it take? a life? im going to shut up now and im sorry for this inconvenience, if you think of it that way.

Leathers dont stop 3000 lbs of car from crushing in your ribcage and dieing.

Tell that STi to go back to driving USDM Honda Integras

watch it a few minutes into the video.
I was 4 cars back, I dont need to watch it again

YOU are SOOOO off base! I drive the living f*** out of every car I have owned! Have been pulled 6 times for OVER 100mph (ticketed only twice!! And for 75+). WHY? Because I am not stupid sir. I stay on my side of the road, do NOT pass (with a car) over a double yellow. SPEED alone does not kill... stupidity DOES.

Plain and simple. This 'outsider' wishes his three CHP family members had seen just a portion of this show in person. Idiots all. If you can't afford a track... then trade down to a shift cart... you'll have plenty of money left to 'race'.

Again. IDIOTS! I lost three friends on bikes to exactly this kind of driving... MORONS!
There are THREE kids without their Dad's because of a fun Sunday drive by people as your group. I came in easy ~ but now you will be called on it ~ STUPID!

Rant. Over.

Yeah, I drive fast and a case can be made for TOO fast. But, I treat that double yellow as a guardrail. On the road it should be! I don't want to be the one sitting on the shoulder of the road looking at the carnage of a rider and bike...

Looks fun. Just keep it in YOUR lane and cool the double yellow passes!
thanks, i ride my sport bike a lot and this is extremely dangerouss for cars and bikes to do (more so cars though)
