Avoid Palms when you race!!

Heh, as you all know, hopefuly, there was a hurricane in FL a week ago and there's still debris all over.

Well, today i was racing this friend on his 01TL and as i hit 85mphs on a VERY SLIGHT CURVE, i happen to slip on a VERY SMALL piece of palm tree leaf and i lost control SOOOOOOOOO INSANELY BAD that I spent the next 4seconds (felt like 10minutes) trying to straighten up...i left half of my tires on that road and my hart beat raised to 150bpm

A couple hours later i went back to the marks...not only did they stretch for like 50+ yards, but from the marks you could tell the car slided at a 25-30+angle on its worse spot, the begining.

I didnt break once because from experience this just worsens it...i just kinda steered out of it, i do this a lot on a dirt road...not with the TL, i've only taken it once, ITS FUN. I also proved ALL OF OUR PARENTS parents wrong...PLAYING DRIFTING GAMES ON THE PS2 is NOT A WASTE OF TIME...maibe if played too much it is hehe...this saved my TL's life...

Oh, sorry, nothing happened, i just wasnt expecting it...i confess, i shit my pants and now theres a huge stain on my seat!!

Race:
99TL- cai, obx header, UR pulley, iridium plugs, vafc and a bad rear O2 sensor
01TL- AEM SRI and a $700Magnaflow exhaust, wider/lower profile rubber

Result:
Off the line He was a constant 1/4car upfront untill i started passing him very slowly around 60-70mph
^^wierd because i've beat my dad's friend stock -S
*edit: MANY TIMES

Just thought i'd share, and give you a heads up on road shit...BTW tomorow i turn 18 now i can go to jail for stupid pranks like thisone!!

peace
