Click on the Road Atlanta link for a spinout.

Awesome clip, thanks for posting. I like it for the sounds...certainly not the driving!

I did think though that they were trying to get some "drift" footage for the Saturday morning show. Maybe they just really are bad at those corners....

If you still have it, post it again - I tried to open it before I noticed that your post was in 2001!

Did spin on track at turn 15 when I did a 2-1 shift accelerating out of the turn.

You should be coming out of 15 in third!

3d and 4th is all you need at TH.

No kidding! Was very confused when I was reading how YOU were learning the limits of your car!

Was thinking he should know that by now!

Then I looked for the date...

Who spins their Viper? Not me *cough* * cough* Whut?! No, that's not me!

Notice the distinct sound of a flat spot at the end there. Four new wheels and tires later it's good as new.
