How did I miss that? Thanks for fixing that for me.
Except for when you feel it’s necessary to do redline shifts up and down Wherle :bloated:
hey accelerating to speed limit is ok
This picture rocks! Awesome pictures, we might have found a cameraman for this season 
The car in question…
1st gear - 3.133 — Est speed @ 9000rpm ~ 45mph
…and hard in the gas in second and still accelerating.
The speed limit on Wherle adjacent to the ECC-N parking lot 35 mph.
Still o.k. Chris?Yeah, there are alot of great shots. I think the plan is already in the works for Ivan to be the official WNY photographer for this season.
it was a joke…remember those were his words when u braught it up
I thought his name was Long?
i’m sure he would volunteer to be the official photographer for the season.
Alright guys, i am coming out with 6 friends in my conversion van and i plan to run it…yes i know it sounds rediculus, but it will also be hilarious and will look funny in the pictures. Is impossible to have any or all of them ride with me?
a conversion van would most likely have the tendency to flip instead of spinning out, therefor odds are you will not be able to run in it. There are only a small handfull of trucks even allowed to auto-x.
yea i dont think u will be able to run the Van…like Andy said usually only the compact pick-ups are allowed to run IE s-10s and Sonomas
Van = no dice. Sorry. As much as I would like to see it run, it would be “unsafe” to do so. Believe me, I would have run the timing truck through it once or twice if I could.
I have taken corners in this before very hard and it always slides, it has never come close to flipping. Since its a no-go…back to plan A with the Buick Lesabre
cornering hard on the street is nothing like a slalom…offset gate or hair pin turn around tryong to do it as fast as u can at AUTO-X…ill say it again…pushing ur car on the street is nothing like pushing it at auto-x
:lol:
I don’t doubt that the van can go around corners quickly without flipping, so can my suv. The problem comes with transitions, like in this clip:

Same type of transitions we do all day long at in an autocross.
Yeah that shit was scary as hell in my 86 ranger. But man I have never had more fun in my life.
Yea i see what you mean about transitions, i have only swung it around corners going one way and got it to fishtail. So definately not gonna attempt that. I will stick with the buick for now.
Very good point JayS, because i also happen to be trying to sell this van:)
