My mad skillz failed me...
Still, $50 for 2 15 minute sessions is awesome. They were running "Holiday Laps" so I donated a $25 toy and $25 cash, actual track time was close to 34 minutes. And I do have both runs on Youtube.
Run 1:
Run 2: (Spin is at the end of the first lap, 3:50)
The guy in the red mustang behind me got the spin on video as well, I gave him my email so hopefully I'll get that footage as well.
And these are only Parade laps... I really need to do a full HPDE session here.

Does yours have a rear sway bar?

Yes it does. I want to upgrade the suspension as it's all stock with the exception of crappy replacement struts, I just don't have the cash just yet.

I can't imagine tracking with someone else in the car, much less having a conversation. I've had people ride with me at autocrosses but that's it. But I guess it being a parade lap of sorts makes things easier, no passing or close maneuvering.

Yeah, its distracting to say the least. But my little sister had never been on a track before so I figured it was a good a time as any.

No, definitely.
I was more commending you for doing it. I'd probably be like 'shaddup shaddup shaddup' the whole time.

Haha yeah, I did say something like "I want to try and get the line right a few times" right before I spun on the hogpen.

From AutoX stuff I always find myself either driving too conservatively or pushing way too hard when I have a passenger. I guess it depends who is in the car and if I'm trying to impress them or trying to not scare them off.

Hahah very true, I've always had either other drivers whom I'm competing against, or a girlfriend. Nothing quite puts you on edge like that.

An MR2 getting unstable and spinning? Okay, I'll suspend my disbelief this one time for you.

I'm working on the whole "Don't brake hard while cornering hard" part.

Only people I've had in the car while on track have been an instructor and my little sister, I did do tail of the dragon with my wife, but that's not really a racetrack...

Anything is a racetrack if you are brave enough.

Thanks, I'm still waiting on a view of the spin from another perspective, the guy behind me was supposed to email me but I haven't gotten anything.
