doesnt look too bad looking out, watching the wheel twirling required to catch it tells a different story.

He was very lucky to catch that at 150mph , and the guy in the passenger seat, his expression never changed during the whole thing

Awesome!!!
But, That guy needs a quick(er) rack!!!
The thing that gets you is, that they never look that bad, but I got in a right tank slapper at an Anglesey TD,( don't get me wrong I'm
not trying to compare as I was on a wide open track, and doing 130mph!) and the effort taken to keep it straight was immense! The only good thing
that I'm proud of is if you can stand the wind noise and turn it up a little, you can hear that I kept my foot planted! I wish I could say that
it was driver skill on my part, but it was pure luck.
Anyway, biggest "moment" I've ever had(in a car):-
Fury at Anglesey - whoops!
It starts after 3 minutes in I think... I went out trying to chase mates that had warm tyres and cars etc, and mine were stone cold, so I knew I
shouldn't have been pushing so hard, but you know how it goes when you're on the track

From your 2nd video Scott, I just love his smirk a few seconds after when it dawns on him that he held it, even after he said that he did!

Saw the article on PH last night - the original Tony Pond lap is one of my all time fave motoring videos.
I can only assume that it was his tache that kept the passenger so cool after the "moment"

... and just as well he did get hold of it! Had that let go at 150mph in that environment, then I've no doubt whatsoever there would have been
another couple of fatalities on the TT circuit this year, and someone would have had a Scooby parked in their livingroom!
