Here are the clips from the racing on Sat at Viper Days. Commentary from my husband Rudy. The second clip is kind of shaky, the wind was blowing and it was very cold.

hahaha!

ok, didn't see your John Deere in the video

let me guess-too hot into the apex?

 

[Kaya]

I passed the black mustang that was in front of me and then braked too late and too hard in turn 8. The car started fish tailing and instead of correcting and letting the brake go, I held into the brake. When the ABS let go for a second, I went left into the grass. I am sure Bob was giving me instruction, but I couldn't get my mind to let off those brakes.

It is really cool to be able to drive like that and then analyze what you are doing wrong. Fortunately it is in a classroom that can be forgiving. There was only one car damaged, even though the weather was cold and wet. There were 4 spins that didn't have any damage. It was amazing and it will be better on a dry, sunny day.

Rudy stopped filming right before my spin....

 

[Leslie]

are you ok????

oh Kaya, I hope you are, you must be if you are on here hahaha

sounds like when you were too hot into the turn, then when you put the brake on it lightened up your back end and you went into a spin (in a spin, both feet in)...

ok, is Rudy gonna let you track the Viper again? hahahaa
