i was working the grain bin station, if you goosed the gas pedal back in the paddock we all heard it loud and clear. and it seemed like anytime you gave it more than 5% throttle it was immediate wheelspin. it looked like a handful (of fun) to drive
yeah, it's a good time to drive which was my goal for the day. Next year I'll work on car control a little more.
Looking through my in-car videos.
Braking way early on a few corners - particularly that last big right hand loop.
Holy hell that tire rub sounds horrible. More I listen to it the more I think it's rear tires instead of the fronts like I thought it was. Looks like it's time to adjust the panhard a little more.
I've always been a binary throttle type of guy - it's either on or off (maybe it's the drag racer in me). Work on that and it'll keep the car a little straighter. -
the guy at the start line said this to me:
"you know how fingernails on the chalkboard is the worst sound there is? your car sounds like that, but worse"one guy said "sounds like you have a super charger in there". HA HA. 170hp of STOCK FURY (assuming that awful intake leak isn't losing me any power :))
i have a leaking intake and i think a failing HG. car goes nice for what it is though
52.8 was my fast time today.

Did you have to clear the dust off your windshield mid-run? That reminds, I need to plug my horn back in.lol
it was at that exact moment where I started kicking myself for not listening to you and finding those fuses. Least I could've done is pull the wiper arms off I guess. -
Glad everyone had fun! Hopefully we can get you guys coming to some more central-ND events next year.
Maybe by then my car won't be running like shit.

Then there's the whole being 200 miles from home with no ride while I'm trying my best to break something.Besides, it on the trailer behind an underpowered Tahoe would still probably get better mileage.

Results are up.
I am pretty pumped about showing up twice!

Jesus I lost to Faber. Time to shoot myself.... actually I'll just fix the motor instead. Haha.

Jon is actually a pretty good driver in his subaru... His 240 is a drift car, he's just too big of a pussy to try and drift it!
Thanks Joel... Yes, the 240's setup would make a awesome drift car who knows, maybe it might see some sideways action next year

I thought they shut down the course on him.
