Mike's Latest Instagram Post: A Ride to Remember

Mike recently posted an update about his latest driving adventure on Instagram, and it sounds like it was an experience he won't soon forget. He starts by saying "oh god we're already spinning dude oh we got momentum duper marion whoa this is so much more fun and exciting" - indicating that the vehicle he's driving is picking up speed quickly and that he's enjoying every minute of it.

As Mike continues to drive, he expresses surprise at how well the vehicle is handling. "this reminds me exactly like our window" he says, highlighting the similarities between his current ride and a different vehicle from his past experiences. He also mentions that he can see steam coming out of the exhaust pipe, suggesting that the engine is working hard to keep up with the demands of the drive.

Mike's comments are full of enthusiasm and excitement as he navigates the twists and turns of the track. "this thing's fast isn't it for what it is" he says, admiring the vehicle's capabilities. He also jokes about how much fun it is compared to his previous experience with a different vehicle, saying that this one "rips". Mike is clearly in his element, enjoying every moment of the drive and reveling in the thrill of the experience.

As Mike continues to post updates on Instagram, he starts to get more serious and reflective. He mentions that he's thinking about ways to improve practice and qualification for drivers, and how they can work together to make their experiences better. "a lot of times it's frustrating when we don't get that many laps" he says, highlighting the challenges faced by drivers in finding quality time on the track.

Mike also discusses the new track layout, which includes a widened track with an outside edge for cars to follow when coming off a banked turn. He compares it favorably to other tracks he's driven on, saying that it's "very similar" to one of his old favorites. Mike is clearly excited about the possibilities offered by this new track and is looking forward to putting his skills to the test.

As Mike prepares for his drive, he shares some final thoughts with his followers. He mentions that he'll be using a shorter video format this time around, apologizing for any inconvenience caused by a technical issue earlier (which he attributes to JetBlue). Despite the challenges, Mike is still looking forward to sharing his experience and connecting with his fans.

Driving on Banks: A Driver's Perspective

Mike has had extensive experience driving on various tracks over the years, including banks. He shares some of his insights and tips for navigating these challenging sections of track. "the first time you started lifting the wheel it looks like it's gonna roll" he says, highlighting the importance of developing a smooth and controlled technique.

One of Mike's key takeaways from his experience is the need to focus on visual cues when driving on banks. "behold the new track so it looks a little bit wider than osw um we're gonna be starting here you can see this is the lean lane this is the chase lane" he says, pointing out specific features of the track that will help drivers stay on course.

Mike also emphasizes the importance of anticipating and adjusting to changing conditions. "this will be an interesting one execute so come in through here and then i feel like the car is going to want to over snap into this area so it's going to be important we're barreling in with a bunch of speed" he says, highlighting the need for drivers to stay focused and adaptable when faced with unexpected challenges.

The Art of Deceleration: A Key Skill for Drivers

As Mike navigates the twists and turns of the track, he encounters several key sections that require him to slow down and control his speed. "big bump big bump guy right here that's gonna make some cars" he says, acknowledging the importance of managing deceleration to avoid losing traction or control.

Mike recognizes that deceleration is a critical skill for drivers to master, particularly when driving on banks. "this will be an interesting one come in through here and then i feel like the car is going to want to over snap into this area" he says, highlighting the need for precision and finesse when slowing down.

The Importance of Practice and Qualification

Mike is passionate about sharing his expertise with fellow drivers and has been thinking a lot about ways to improve practice and qualification sessions. "a lot of times it's frustrating when we don't get that many laps" he says, acknowledging the challenges faced by drivers in finding quality time on the track.

One of Mike's key suggestions for improving practice and qualification is to consider pushing back the cones to make it easier for cars to navigate the track without getting into trouble. "they'll make an easier visual cue from the car" he explains, highlighting the benefits of a more streamlined approach to practice sessions.

Mike also emphasizes the importance of teamwork and collaboration among drivers. He believes that by working together and sharing their experiences, drivers can develop new skills and strategies that will help them improve their performance on the track.

The New Track: A Fresh Challenge for Drivers

Mike's latest driving adventure takes him to a brand-new track, which promises to provide a fresh challenge for experienced drivers like himself. The track features several key sections, including a widened track with an outside edge for cars to follow when coming off a banked turn.

As Mike prepares to take on the new track, he expresses his excitement and enthusiasm about the possibilities offered by this new layout. "this thing's fast isn't it for what it is" he says, admiring the vehicle's capabilities and looking forward to putting them to the test.

day and what we were hoping to be half of this video didn't happen at all so there's that everyone's flights were kind of like chaotic and missing and going into different places because they're getting cancelled apparently all the teams are having issues with this but anyway we are here for the first formula drift event ever in erie pennsylvania i'm excited wait it is the first one right so

i cornered yeah yeah honestly i was about to call the quest because i was trying to scream myself yeah it's great though love this thing i'll do it here i'm gonna show you how it's done got like four years of mini truck driving that flash before my eyes the first time you started lifting the wheel it looks like it's gonna roll it's so scary yeah it was weird it doesn't feel like it's like about to like tip over you're going right for the super i was like here we go early the next morning we just had our our very first driver's union so we jokingly called it uh it was cool all the drivers got together this morning to kind of talk about ways that we can make practice and qualify and go better because a lot of times it's frustrating when we don't get that many laps and there's a lot of things that are hard to see visually specifically on like the outside edge of the track during practice and stuff because things go away so behold the new track so it looks a little bit wider than osw um we're gonna be starting here you can see this is the lean lane this is the chase lane we'll do the quick wait hold on ready and then we get a quick so that's the latest entry cone right there yeah wow it's very very similar to irwindale the only difference is that instead of there being an inside when you come off the bank it's an outside it actually looks identical to owendale when you're like driving around even our own deals a bit bigger it's pretty cool it's very cold here this is our element we should be used to this yeah this reminds me exactly like our window this is the kind of visual cue once i know my back end's here and i start looking down there oh this is going to be interesting so this will be like a pretty big decel coming down big bump big bump guy right here that's gonna make some cars oh yeah this will be an interesting one execute so come in through here and then i feel like the car is going to want to over snap into this area so it's going to be important we're barreling in with a bunch of speed to like stay somewhat shallow um yeah it'll be interesting one of the things we were talking about this morning is possibly like pushing all the cones back so cars don't keep hitting them and getting into our practice time and then just like painting the outside zone instead because they'll make an easier visual cue from the car so let's see come through here hey we're down to eerie city oh there's bumps that right there there's a bump mid zone do you see that yeah like the track comes down dude this is gonna be an interesting one what the bumps and
