Well, since the weather outside is frightful, I think I WILL go grab a beer, sit back in my cozy warm house, with my mutt by my side staring at me, and watch this "epic compelation". Who needs to go outside, anyway......!!?? :lol:

The year before i actually ran the Knox mountain hillclimb, I went up to watch and check it out. At the end of the first straight, where some of the fast cars hit 100, a couple and their kid spread out a picinic blanket, just on the other side of the hay bales, at the corner exit point. I walked down and told them I did not think that was a good place to be. They kinda grumbled, but, did move further up the hillside. No later than two cars after they moved, a Porsche 911 jumped the hay bales and landed EXACTLY where they would have been. The woman came up and thanked me, as she realized they would have been seriously hurt. I told them you NEVER underestimate how far a car will travel, after it leaves the track.

Good for you Keith. Besides the obvious bad spots, nowhere is really 'safe' and brakes don't do much once the wheels leave the ground.

Hey jason, I've heard that 200sx retractible ones are a good switch. I have a red, light blue and silvery white set. If 620 or 720 ones will work they are almost always black.
Mike, I was looking at the seat belts in the back and they look to be the same receptacle as the front. I usually don't have a passenger in the seat behind me so it's coming out to replace the front one. I think Byron has another for me now so I should be good!

Thanks
Jason

I'm suprised at how frequently in this video I saw brakes on FIRE. Jeez, thats some insane braking right there!
