I don't own the car but I'm very close to one of the main sponsors.

i'll have some of the practice sessions up soon. in one session, the swaybar came loose, which made the car very loose.
in the other, i just flat out overdrove it a bit.

how'd your racing go?

so my buddy's buying a new car. his engine break in period is 1K mi. it seems standard enough. never operate motor at constant RPM, light acceleration/deceleration, and max RPM = 3500. yet, when you DCHT, although there is no load, certainly it's a quick acceleration. does a normal DCHT prevent the ...

impressive. as usual.

i actually go racing with ra64t. we do a lot of sim racing. and we've met up a few times for karting. (in fact, ra64t actually invited me to be on his team once, even though he was faster that day). so if you wanna talk (since typing takes forever). i'm sure either of us would be happy to break down...

it's a long story. they mostly just give you the car and let you run at your own risk. the car has maybe 400hp, maybe less. certainly not the 600 advertised. on a 5/8mi track, it's fast enough to keep you entertained, but on nhms the motor is out of juice not long after you leave the apex of 2 and 4...

i've driven on nhms in a stock car. bouncing off the limiter most of the way i turned a 33.8 best lap (pros turn 28.x). call me if you want my advice

the dood with the roush can't drive for shit. he's worse than me!

as an update, here is how the kart has progressed. i determined that the motor was low on compression. when i spun the flywheel and the piston moved beyond top dead center, there was no real additional resistance. the motor is only 80cc, so it wasn't immediately clear whether that was abnormal. rese...

yeah i've never heard of a pizza cone before. kinda curious.

i will try to keep a detailed log of what's been happening. lately with what little time i have it's hard to find time for that sort of thing. but i do think that my bum knee has something to do with it, since the pain has been so bad for years now that i've been considering selling the stick in hop...

btw, i do frequent the forum, but haven't seen a need to respond to a lot of what's being said (or what seems like is not being said, guess everyone's busy).

getting married soon. wonder if i'll be allowed to keep the stick.

so i still suck at upshifting. a girl in a mazda station wagon with a stick sort of took a tude with me because i fought with second gear, as usual. her upshifts looked less "rocky" than mine. sad part is, i'm actually going for the invisible upshift. i think my downshifts are actually abo...
