Learning Big Willow 

Jeez, that's the best feedback I've ever gotten haha. Thank you!

I'm not sure if the majority of the people who think they're into cars realize the time and effort it takes to do stuff like this. Car Maintenance Track Fee Fuel/Fluids Camera/Audio Recording Gear Editing Time For those of us who don't have budgets set up to enjoy the finer things in life, this is about as good as it gets to visualize one of the better tracks in California. If it's in the budget, continue this series. It'll turn into a hell of a good marketing tool for your company and open more doors into the driver training/racing instruction world. Flights to Dubai are dope! #PaperChasin

I'll for sure do more like this. I'll have to find a way to keep it interested on tracks I already know, though. The only track left in the area I haven't tried is Thermal.

Which is exactly why I just invited you to a private group on Facebook. We'll likely rent the track out sometime by the end of the year. I'll do personal R&D out there on my Integra, which is continuing to teach me new tricks.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you!

Thanks Denis! Someday in another life when I have more time, I'll do more stuff like this.

Thank you Nick!

Thank you! I've had enough requests to do more that I think I basically have to...just hard to find the time while I'm building a new racecar. It sucks away literally my entire life. Hopefully I can get my ish together enough to make more soon :)

You're welcome!

Hope my video helps for your first time! If I have one piece of advice, it's stay to the left 10000000x farther than you think you need to in the final corner.

Glad it was helpful!

I'd love to! Just need to be able to go to the track again...

Thank you! I keep threatening to do more, but it seems like every time I'm at the track these days it's a high stakes race and I don't have the bandwidth or time to make something like this. I will again someday!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

I'd love to do more. Just need the extra time 😅

Thanks Jack! I promise I've gotten better at Big Willow since then. I never went back in this same car, but in my racecar (IS300) I think I'm doing all the things you suggest here.

Thanks! Yep, I did it live.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you liked it! Four years later, I've finally started making content consistently. Consider giving the new stuff a try!

Thank you Anthony!

Thank you! Glad Germany likes my dumb sense of humor.

Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you!

Thanks! It was really cool to make :)

A rear engine car like a 911 can be a bit tricky to handle when the rear starts to slide. But, once you get a really good feel for it and develop a great sense for oversteer control, the 911 is especially equipped to USE that oversteer to get great exit speed.

Thank you! I really do want to make more, just need to find the time >_>

Thank you! If I had more time, I'd totally do it -__-

Unfortunately we never took this car back after I learned the track. I did do low 32s in my IS300 racecar later though!

@@NikRomanoRacing I'm headed there next weekend for a time attack. Never turned a single lap there besides a sim. I have to start making videos again for sponsors so I'll put something together

Trust me, the dust at buttonwillow is scarier. It has actual spores in it that will give you lung disease. Going off at Willow is nuthin.

As you know from working with John, sometimes the car determines the line. If the suspension is not set up to handle a specific bump, crest, or undulation on the "ideal" line, it can be overall better to avoid the offending piece of pavement or adjust the approach to have less steering angle at that point. Thanks!

Valid point. Are you restricted in the way you can set the car up? The 240Z I co-drive with him was far from well setup. Eibachs and koni yellows. Miatas I have driven there on KWs also like the same line as the Datsun which is why I asked. Thanks!

@@ultimateracingtips2799 Restricted by $$$. The crazy engine swap on this car changed the front steering geometry, and not for the better. It behaves completely differently from any other Miata I've ever driven. Notice how active I have to be on the wheel, it's like that even with fresh tires. It's also affected by curbs and bumps much more than other Miatas. The car is fast, it's just...weird.

Guess I needed great jokes to keep up with Doug and the Porsche in the straights, then XD

I like your taste in videos ;)

I'm good 😅

Thank you! It's a stock Honda F22 engine, with pretty open exhaust.

I saw a few people stuck on the hill outside of 3 that day. It can certainly catch you out if you aren't careful. The speedometer in this car isn't accurate since the outer tire diameter is smaller than the S2000 the cluster and drivetrain came out of (though the transmission and final drive gearing are the same). Not that you can really see what it's saying anyway... For reference, I just did a McLaren event there, and cruised through T8 at 120mph in a 650s. I say "cruised," because I wasn't even near the car's limit at that speed.

I can't remember the number...He's the lead instructor at Extreme Speed, though.

Never drama.

I like your optimism.

It's a 1995(ish) Miata, with the engine and transmission from an S2000. Thanks for watching!
