60-70mph roll, i hooked third. swift didnt. i pulled a car on him not even. and it was dead even from there 120 up to about 160+ i was ahead when it was over technically, but even a 10 degree increase in temp could have flipped the situation around the exact opposite way. i think with swift on d/r’s it would have been a dead nuts tie. honestly the race couldnt get any closer.
aww man i missed this??
yeah… i knew mike was gonna ask me to race, and i’m glad he did we got that out of the way… and i’m still alive to talk about it. I know i’m an idiot, but after all the 5th gear pulls i’ve done i’m starting to think i’m luckier and luckier that nothing has happened yet. As i went flying by the U turn between exit 4 and 2 at probably… 170? i started thinking about what could happen at those speeds… expecially since when i shift into 4th my axles rub on my wishbones when i break loose and it makes a terrible noise, my window moldings unhinge and almost fly off at 130+ (thanks john for grabbing it), and my tires are mix-matched - not to mention the read drivers side has a screw stuck in it. I’m def learning (hopefully soon enough) that i need to keep those kind of speeds at a minimum. It was fun, and i will probably do it again… but not as much as i thought i would.
:nod
im going to stop by tonight see what going on.
its raining up here, i doubt anyone will be going out. supposed to rain all weekend. sucks considering its the first weekend LVD is open.
Yeah it was a sweet race, 160+ in mike’s car is insane :lol i wish i brought my camera to tape it.
NY State weather = FAIL
damn, thanks for calling me guy…cant believe i missed that race :headbang
vlad hardly got to see it and he was on his bike. haha… we needed alot of room to rip… and as we were getting back on 87 the 2nd time there was a cop like a minute ahead of us. i didnt see him pull off but i guess he did. Def a good race, we are prolly gonna do it again both on DR’s… but we could also just do it at the track. next time on video for sure though, its crazy to go WOT a have someone still be hanging with you, something me and mike dont get to see much. :lmao
yeah man thats true haha :lol
oh i see, albany sucks. down here in NYC it nice
NYC for a lot meet? :lol
haha so true. heard your motor screaming next to me the entire time. you cant look over at those speeds though. i didnt know if you were pulling on me or i was pulling on you. just focused on driving. me and joe saw the cop get off so i knew it was clear. i wouldnt have raced if we didnt see him. we would have caught up to him super fast lol.
and that last part is definately true. i think most of our future interactions will be at the track.
man i wish i saw this race :headbang
haha yeah that cop def. sketched us out. Yeha i would’ve looked to see where swift was, but doing 160, your car putting me in my seat…lol couldn’t look back. :lol
haha yeah you’d hurt your neck if you tryed haha :crackup
i dont watch anything but the road, and wait for the check engine light to know when to shift. :lmao
haha yeah im just talking about riding in the pass. seat in the deuce :thumb
