Classic Video from the shoot out...

http://videos.g33kd.net/porsche%20shootout%202.mov

Right click and save as (you need QuickTime to view this).

So here's the video from the Excellence shoot out and the two infamous moments that stick out in my mind from that whole thing..

1)You get to see the 0-100-0 test where my car spins out at 100mph and almost hits the wall (you guys asked for it...)
2)You get to see JWGT2's GT2 driven/drifted by Darren Law in victory laps after having won the track event.

That's what i call a controlled "out of control" situation. Or maybe it's called luck.

Thanks for posting, Alex. Your car spinning is always a classic.....

Also - know someone that used to own JW's GT2. Can't believe he sold it! ;-) ...... Awesome car.

I think I'm due for a visit to the shop. It's been WAY too long! Don't even try to talk me into a GT640 kit!
