Here is the video.

I came into the corner behind on everything: behind on braking so I'm carrying too much speed; behind on downshifting so I'm kind of trying to do that and brake at the same time; and behind on steering so I'm chasing the slide instead of catching it. Once I got that far out of phase or sequence, its impossible to catch up, and the best I can do is to try to recover - and in this instance I wasn't able to do that.

I had 4 hours on the drive back to LA to beat myself up about making this mistake but all I can do is learn from it and continue to work on becoming a better driver/racer. And yes, racing does imitate life.
