Re: Rides for '09

Actually, I climbed up on top of it and somehow managed to goose it in reverse to avoid any further embarrassment. Save for the current focus in this thread... There were some unholy sounds from inside the cabin I can tell you that much. If I didn't lose the exhaust on Saturday, it was sure coming off Sunday.

I love that shot for the simple reason there's a huge rooster tail coming off the rear tire as I tried to power through it to clear the inside of the bank. No dice. I caught a grippy patch when I least wanted it and it fired me in there like a torpedo.

So Rod, were the banks nice and fluffy at first and then when you got deeper more like concrete?

I should upload my last race where I did just that.. I passed you for a brief moment of glory before stuffing it into the bank. Apparently I cant turn as well as you guys. Not only that I buried her 2500rpm over the red on the straight. Valves floating Also got a lot easier to shift when you find out how spread the gears are. I just had to wait longer.

Re: Rides for '09

First off, that pic is pretty damned classic. I've seen people try to push the banks back by shaving them off with their cars, but I've never seen anybody literally try to "push the banks back". Very fine looking car, but may I advise a little more discretion with the throttle for next weekend?

Second off, Bank Digger FTMFW (see that? I used just lol speak). Most people use rollers to paint their cars, but the paint on that truck is bloody mint. Two thumbs up. The only problem is that the skull on the tailgate dwarfs my skulls, so next year the ante needs to go up.

Third off, mucho respect for "starting" the Fiero like that. It goes a long ways to proving that class 1 is populated by a bunch of nutters who seem to have illegal amounts of fun on any given weekend. Good on you.

Dude, get 3 or 4 Car batteries and use them for ballast in your Front trunk, so the front wheels have some traction to turn you. Then wire them all "in parallel ofcourse" to your main batt, then you'll have a ton of starting power off the line. Or, you could just fix the clutch.

So true, I went home on Sunday in pain from all the laughter on the weekend. I can't wait to do it all over again.

Well, I can't S/\Cond that, so I'll third it. Rediculous amounts of fun were had both on and off track…

What I would like to see though, are more people at the 'cliffe! Every time we've dragged our butts over there, no one seems to be there, yet every time we skip & snooze, everyone had a rockin' good time… what gives? do we smell? LOL

Brian and I were there, but then we saw you all coming and left.

This weekend, we will have to make up a time.
