thanks but this doesnt make up for calling me old and fat.
Never said such a thing! EVER! :wtf
you implied it, it’s cool
She calls it like she sees it.
wow.
you’re dead to me, over.
haha awesome night! benny i love the car man it looks/sounds killer!
Fat Chicks are harder to kidnap anyway.
those lower rockers need some refinishing. maybe mask it off and use some trim paint. would look so much better if they were black.
yeah probably
What?! I’ve been saying that for months and never got a “yeah probably.” Paint em!
nope, I’ll just get skirts when I do body stuff next year.
So my first event with the car has come and gone, and I left with a huge smile on my face.
I forgot my GoPro at home like a noob, so I’ll try to fill you in from memory.
The track is basically a 4/10 mile low banked oval, with one turn being slightly larger than the other.
We only had a total of about 40 minutes between 5 cars, 2 of which were tandeming, so I didn’t have any time to dial in the car at all. The car felt awesome on turn-in/initiation, a simple flick of the wheel and a well timed right foot led to extremely predictable, and smooth feeling slides. In the 8ish laps I got in, I was a little shy of the wall on the ‘smaller’ of the two turns. Spun there my first run, and straightened out at the first sign of the nose pointing at the wall. Biggest thing for me now is just nailing a good slide right past that wall to get ‘the fear’ out of me. Had one off-track excursion onto the infield grass when the wall spooked me a bit too much, and I did a bit of a tank-slapper before straightening out in the grass. I think one of the rear spares I was using was low on air too, because the car felt like it was laying over on the sidewall ALOT. Part of the pre-event checklist is now making sure all 15 and 16" drift spares are aired out to 60psi.
Sam and Jay killed it in tandem of course, and from my vantage point they looked damn good doing it.
No pics yet, but hoping to have some soon after the track photog processes the pics.
AND I MADE IT HOME WITHOUT HITTING A GUARDRAIL WOOOO
good job last night. you seemed to do alot better when you went into 3rd gear.
sooo, i heard this runs like a dry bag of flacid penises.
you heard correct sir, and smells like it too
Car was awesome at the 6/18 event, needs driver mods still, need to work on consistency and timing a bit more. But the car was awesome, killing tires pretty evenly and thoroughly, water temp never went over 185*F, car has plenty of power with junk 16s on it. I wish I had the money to rock good 17" tires all the time, but w/e I’m thinking my current wheels will become drift spares next year, and I’m going to look into another set of wheels and some body work over the winter to get the car looking better, and revise the exhaust so I can go lower.
All-in-all the event yesterday was awesome, though I ended up back on a trailer a few hundred feet from where I ended the last car’s life. Luckily it’s an easy fix-my recently added radiator underpanel decided to let go and pushed a coolant hose into the crank pulley, which took out the belt and the hose in one shot. I saw the battery light flicker, and pulled right over. In-head water temp sensor was at 168*F at the time so I highly doubt it got hot even though the waterpump wasn’t really…uh…spinning.
broke something in the trans/clutch, probably ended my season.
damn… wanted to see this thing
hey benny, welcome to the season ending mechanical failure boat
