Re: Team ONeill Rally School
Trevor:
Several points. I made no claim of being an accomplished rally driver. I did 3-day school, was introduced to left foot braking, learned some car control techniques modulating back and forth between brake and accelerator in turns, learned how to do pendulum turns and had a fantastically good time. The video I showed was intended to demonstrate the nature of the driving. On that run, I was mostly in control. but it was by no means a straight line experience. The video camera was hand held by my fellow student in the back seat, so he is moving the camera to follow the direction of the car. On several of the runs that he videoed, he braced the camera against the harness as seen below, but that resulted in a much jumpier video. Most of the cars didn't have operative speedometers, but I was maintaining 4000-4200 rpm in 2nd gear into corners, up to redline on straights.

Your comments reveal much about your character. You laugh at "noobies" trespassing on your claimed territory. Not the welcoming reaction I've had at every driving event I've attended, nor the attitude I've had towards those who are even more "noobie" than I am. It is the attitude of the typical internet bully, making up for the failures of his own life by beleaguering others behind the anonymous veil of his keyboard.
You're like a great dark bird hovering above this forum, looking for likely threads to dive into and leave a noisome token on your visit.
Some might ask, why doesn't someone just shoot that damn bird, that way we wouldn't have to live with his "stuff" dropping from the sky.
Once again, I may be treading on thin ice, but your continuing presence on this forum makes it a much less attractive place to visit.
