Haha, flip, got you addicted? They're fun as hell, just gotta keep it safe and legit. Usually I run over some ground rules before running, but the group seemed smart enough that I wouldn't need to.
Usually, it's like:
No crossing double yellow or solid white lines.
No passing in no-passing zones.
Keep proper distance for braking, and brake failure.
Don't try to tailgate the guy in front of you, this is NOT a competition.
No drifting.
If the car behind you is faster, let them ahead of you at the next break-point.
First-time runners stay in the back for this run.
Use brakes conservatively, and never over-estimate your car's abilities.
Above all, drive within your limits.
Usually, those are the basics. But yeah, if you go up before the 13th, let me know, and I'll see what I can do. I'll probably stay to the rear and drive conservatively IF I go. Either that, or I may just help you navigate. Just keep in mind...you drive aggressively (ALWAYS) when you're the lead guy. It just...happens. No matter how much you try not to. Keep in mind ALWAYS there are cars and lives behind you, and you're responsible for them. Keep up with them, slow down if they need you to, and dont' lose them. Make sure they know that space is needed for you to brake in time for the proper turns.
It's mostly just common sense alot of people over look through their adrenaline. We've lost one Fiero, my car's been damaged, and a golf was damaged. I dont' wanna lose another. Here's what became of the Fiero...
If you look at the rim, the aluminum actually melted, that's how hot the fire got. He went over the edge in that first leg of the triangle at probably about 60, dropped about 20 feet, rolled once or twice, and collapsed the roof on a tree upside down. Kid got out before the fire caught. He's lucky...he had a scratch on his elbow, nothing more.
Either way, I dont'w anna lose another car. That's the only unrepairable one.
