so as it seems.

I lost it going 70mph at the streets of wilow. Luckily I did not flip over. I went off one part of the track and crossed it back after 1/8mile of dirt driving. Car was fine.

When did you shoot the video? I wonder what it would take to flip a Celica?

Glad you and your car are alright. You're lucky you didn't lose it before the point you lost it. Last year at Willow, an Integra flipped before the spot you lost it at! Someone correct me if I'm wrong :)

Hmm...can't say I've ever seen anyone go off-roading on that side of the track at that spot. Most people usually understeer off the other side right there.

Hey Noel, I thought the Integra flipped at turn 2? I could be wrong though...I've slept since then. ;)

I didn't lift off the throthle. I was stepping on the gas just enough to maintain speed. I ran over the apex speed bump on the left side and lost camber on the right tire causing the rear to slide.
