No. This is a stock SE-R aside from safety modifications according to the rules, and cut down stock springs, which I consider a mistake and probably is worse handling than completely stock springs.

Re: Hahaha...24 Hours of Lemons was Awesome!

@5:04, were you shaking your head at the BMW's wreck, were you just doing a double take, or was it nothing? I was laughing and talking to my team mates on the radio. It was a light hit and I was pretty sure everyone was OK. Any time you force someone else to overdrive their car into a mistake, that...

New Circuit Battles TV Show Teaser

I raced in the first event for the new Circuit Battles TV show that will be airing on Versus later this month. It's a new format of circuit racing that's structured a lot like drag racing, where cars go out in pairs and race for two laps head-to-head in double-elimination round formats. Winner of a ...

Hahaha...24 Hours of Lemons was Awesome!

I recently raced in the 24 Hours of Lemons race at Infineon Raceway. I haven't raced with these guys since 2007. If you're not familiar with the series, competitors race $500 piece of crap cars against each other, and each team must have a "theme" and dress the part (keeps the atmosphere p...

You realize it's just the bottom of the front bumper. You're not thinking I left an entire racecar out on a corner, are you?

You can have it. I think it's still in the field outside the fast left sweeper after Riverside at Buttonwillow Raceway. ;)

Hey, it was 2am, I'd just been woken up to do a 2 hour stint in the rain and there was no coffee. Sue me. :twisted:

Re: My first serious crash

Crashing and spinning 11 times in one day tells me you are driving over your head. Based on the posts you made, it seems that you are more focused on achieving an unobtainable laptime over spending learning the feel of the kart and gradually working your way up. Karts are not cars and cars are not k...

Re: how arupt is braking

when racing? should it be just the same as braking hard in street driving but harder/quicker but not slam quick? I've noticed at times slamming on the brakes with abs kicking = same or more most of the time as smoothly just braking, but no tire noise. Any time you are braking on the track and need ...

Re: Question and Answer Session with Race Driver Gary Sheehan

When it becomes egregiously clear to the driver that he/she is going to crash, I'm told he/she should let go of the wheel. But what should the driver do with his/her arms so that they don't flail around and potentially extend out the window. I ask this question for two scenarios: normal daily drivi...

Re: Question and Answer Session with Race Driver Gary Sheehan

Lot's of great answers and questions! thanks for doing this! What's your experience with drifting? Are you a fan? Have you tried it competitively? I haven't tried competitive drifting yet, but I would jump at the opportunity. It looks like a lot of fun! I've done it accidentally a few times, though...
