You are an idiot that has no clue how to drive in the canyons, if you can say you never had to regrip the wheel while drivin that canyon you would need arms like Gumby on a hot summer day.....
You have no clue as to what you are talkin about.....  |
IIRC, from 7-11 to In-N-Out is 18 or 19 miles. now, it's been a while since i've been out there, but i have a hard time believing the section you ran was a full 12 miles. that's beside the point.
so you're arguing that the proper way to downshift is to DRAG THE REVS UP WITH THE CLUTCH??? that's the most asinine thing i've ever heard. heel toeing has nothing to do with gear ratios. at all.
when using brakes properly (notice i never once said you should be threshold braking at every corner), the driver will not upset the car coming into a corner. i feel sorry for you if you are unable to use brakes without upsetting the car.
sand is definitely an issue, which again, is why i think it's fine not to push hard through a canyon. but to me, it seems like you're trying to make excuses for a lack of driving skill. sand has nothing to do with proper driving technique.
in my car i'm able to turn the wheel roughly 120 degrees in either direction before i need to regrip. that gives me a total of (if you do the math) 240 degrees of wheel angle before regripping. it looked like you maybe turned the wheel that far once or twice.
next time, try to put together a better post that defends what you're doing in the video instead of sitting there calling me names and contradicting yourself. you say you want to be cautious around blind corners and sand (i agree), but then you also say you "don't want to scrub off too much speed." seems to me like you don't know which side of the fence you want to be on.
