hahaha yes! gains, but remember in not driving a white elephant anymore... and im now running on all 4 cylinders

hahaha i know you'll still whip me, but i might enjoy it not really... but, dreams are free...

[Swindog]

If i remember correctly you struggled to keep up last time out. All i know is the vortex i created behind me stole all the air from in front of your car creating not enough air entering your engine causing it to lean out and do what did. Unfortunate but a common occurence racing the blue bullet

uuhhhh huh...

my engine was shaged already... (running on 3 cylenders) but the white elephant was catching you around the corners...

[Swindog]

Catching me around the corners? What was that video on Youtube? Me flying past you and disappearing into the distance?

[MINTGTB]

Give up Ray.. speedpig would own you all day everyday... ;D

[Swindog]

^^^^^

lol if wou watch the unedited video, you pass me at a great rate of knots and i gain on you round the following corners... then we hit the stright again and you're off....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwM75A_eAMM

from 0:49 onwards

[Swindog]

You did speed it up....did you catch me or did i just not gain any more than what was already there?

Seriously though I was having huge probs that day with handling. The front is all sway barred up and had 4 points struts and stuff everywhere but the back doesnt have anything. Was getting way loose in the tail. I should have taken the 4 point strut off to be fair and it would have fixed it. Just means i need that adjustable rear sway bar and anitlift kit

[RAYDEO]

i was catching..., but then we hit the stright just b4 that last corner and i was stuffed...

[MINTGTB]

sucks how the video was sped up

[Swindog]

Na just proves the time warp i was talking about in previous replys

so the bit in bold about no racing....whats the go there?

[Swindog]

Its a symantics thing. You just get in a group like we normally do of the "faster" guys and no racing just means no up the bum or door slammers on the corners etc.

[GravelBen]

No racing means ... no racing funny enough. Its not about being the fastest on the track and passing people but having fun pushing the limits without the hazards you get on the road (kids, animals, cops etc). Most track days generally make this more specific by allowing passing only under acceleration on straights, no passing under brakes or through the corners.

It only takes one git who isn't as good as they think to come smoking up the inside of you and overcook it to ruin everyones day. Also be aware most insurance co's don't cover track days.
