Default "Worst Trackday Video Ever?" -- Don't Be That Guy

This is getting some traction around other forums/sites... I don't know if it's more pathetic or hilarious. It's probably just both.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Seriously though... that guy is a disaster and menace to those around him. Bad things will likely happen if he continues like that.

The "instructor" is equally fired for his role. Wow.

Watching the video, I don't think the guy was listening to the instructor what-so-ever. Soon as he saw that GT3 he got the red mist and it was all over.

Helmet selection pretty much summarizes it.

That 'instructor' should be a jet sprint navigator.

The C7 is amazingly forgiving.

I like the "red mist" comment. That's exactly what happens to some guys. Worse is that this guy is proud of himself, and will forever point to this accomplishment as reason for never needing to learn anymore.

They're called "track days".... he should have gotten black flagged and sent packing. But he'd have never seen a corner worker/starter. LOL

I read that Speed Ventures sent him home after that session. Good on them if that is what happened. Have not ran with SV but they have a good rep for running track days.
