First pass i thought the track was preped good BOY WAS I WRONG..Slow the video down and check out how close it was as i was waiting for him to go by before i let go of the brakes and whipped the wheel to the left and wacked the throtle.I had to change my shorts on that one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pimn8N7un2c
