Haha. Nice 17 point turn. You wasted no time getting back into the groove though.
That looks like a blast. I've got to get out to one of your events.

Man we'd love to see your BMW at a hillclimb, for sure. There's one this weekend at Mt. Ascutney, full season schedule is here.

Biggest pucker moment for me was actually watching the action in front of me. At my first COMSCC event at Calabogie in 2007, Butch's Blazer turned into turn 15, the Spoon, about two feet off the bumper off of the car in front of him. The inside front tire hikes way up rather suddenly and the Blazer twitches sideways, and I'm sure those big slicks are going to be pointing skywards in a millisecond. Luckily this is all perfectly normal to Butch, and he blazes out of the Spoon and into 4 Left like nothing happened.

Having seen that car at a couple more tracks and two autoxs since then, I know it's pretty much designed to run on three wheels much of the time, but at that moment I was sure carnage was imminent.
