skerting in my civic

Hi everyone,
Theres this office building close to my house that has a really curvy exit to it. The exit has two road side by side, one goes into the office buildings parking lot and one comes out of the office building parking lot so I think it pretty safe to speed on. The road starts off with a sharp left turn which made my car understeer when I was redlining into 2st. The next turn goes right and isn't that sharp but isn't a strate away ether, I was doing about 60 MPH out of the turn. The next turn is a left one but other then that it's the same as the last one, I was doing arould 70 MPH out of that turn. Like I said before I am doing around 70 MPH and theres one more turn that goes into a roundabout and IM not sure if it the roundabout or the turn but I always freak out and slam on the breaks. Has this ever happen to you?

Fix the horrendous spelling mistakes in your post, because I don't think even I can fend off the iminent sock beating you're about to receive. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] It just makes it easier to read posts.

And just be careful to make sure no other cars are around when you're playing "Buttonwillow" on the roads by those buildings. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

I have a road that my friend and I do that on. As long as there are not any cars around I'm all for a little fun in the turns.

You think thats impressive? Try to imagine this... 3 entire miles of 1way roads throughout a college campus that is completely deserted after 7 on weekdays and all day on the weekends. tons of elevation changes, lots of steep up and down grades, many hard turns, several small hairpins, and lots of straigtaways. Theres even this one spot that reminds me sooo much of the snake curve at Laguna Seca. And of course, plenty of "outs" back onto the main road just in case.... Ive only run it once with my buddies, and that was with the civic. I cant wait to tackle it with the Z this spring when i go back out there!!!!
