  1. Hey Joe, welcome to the site

    Post up some of your racing videos if you wish. I would like to check some of them out

    thanks again for your advice on Saturday on my Duc (I was the dude with the volunteered yellow 748)

  2. Our father, who art in heaven

    hallowed be thy cams

    thine curbing come,

    thine drift be done

    on grass or i shall see the heavens

    Give us this day our daily hoon,

    and forgive us of our sideways tendances,

    as we forgive those who use DRS against us

    lead us not into the tyre wall,

    and deliver us from spins

    For thine is the victory, the pole, and the podium.

    for ever and ever.....

  4. I suppose it s less impressive if you look at it purely from that perspective but that paving makes it more dangerous and it requires giant balls to take advantage of that paving...

     

     

    Caswell himself was saying he was taking a corner with an entry speed of 100mph that previously was 60mph or less.... And that was in a lowly E30M3... Imagine how fast others with more skill like Monster and the Millens (Rhys and his daddy, Rod) would be going in cars with downforce, turbos, less weight...

     

    Is that still not impressive to you? Look at Tajima's run again (watch every second) and consider the state of his car after... If that doesn t show he was driving it at 120percent, I have no idea what would convince you otherwise

  5. Were you at the C&C where my buddy Ken brought his NSX ? You need to help convince him to track it.

    was it that red one with the body kit that was so low it was scraping?

     

    I know another guy with a darker red boosted one named Sean but I think the one I describe above may be the person to which you're referring

     

     

    TripleSkate, I feel the same way....He was taken too soon from us

     

    I love this quote from him, one of my heroes

    By being a racing driver you are under risk all the time. By being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, competing to win. And the main motivation to all of us is to compete for victory, it's not to come 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th. I race to win as long as I feel it's possible. Sometimes you get it wrong? Sure, it's impossible to get it right all the time. But I race designed to win, as long as I feel I'm doing it right.

  6. Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima is a beast

     

    one guy wrote about the run from Wagner's post

     

    The most amazing thing about this run? Tajima DESTROYED the car!

    Seriously; when it got to the top of the hill fluid was gushing from the radiators. The motor and turbos where cooked, ruined. Tajima said that the car started overheating two miles into the 12 mile run. 9:51 is pretty much the fastest time that car could possibly have gone. It was physically incapable of giving up any additional performance. The Monster was totally in the zone, driving 11/10s the whole way up. He was so far beyond the limit it was just mesmerizing to witness first-hand. He went around the three corners that make up The Sump (where this pic was taken) as if it was one continuous bend. From start to finish he was on it the whole time. I heard from people at the starting point that it was the hardest launch any of them had ever witnessed; he exploded off the line and did not slow up for a nanosecond. By the time he was a couple hundred yards into the race he was already four seconds ahead of Rhys Millen.

     

    the man is 61 years old

  7. The first guy had fail written all over him when he decided to modify a Sunfire for hill climb racing.

    ignorance is bliss

     

    go look up who Bobby Regester is and then make that comment again....

    aside from winning in 2007 Super Stock class at PPIHC, he has done way more than his choice of car seems ignorant

    that Sunfire was as much a Pontiac as Foust's TC was a Scion

     

     

    2007 awesomeness

  8. Not sure I'll have the S10 back by then. :no:

     

    Question. Obviously there are alot of people using tape for the numbers and what not on the side. Any one have issues with it doing anything to the paint?

     

    I ask because when I get my s10 back it will have a super fresh ice cream paint job.

     

     

    blue painter's tape works great....

     

    Pro Tip if you're super anal, get magnets that you can cut from home vent covers frrom Home Depot..they're made to cover HVAC vents and my roommate uses them as his numbers

     

    other pro tip with painter's tape....before you put it on your car, put it on your clothes and peel it off and then apply on car. this will take away some of the strength of the tape to stick and make removal even less likely to come off with some clear coat....but painter s tape is already very very unlikely to do at full strength anyway

  9. I was gonna tell you to call TC Kline but I'm also positive they would send you to Truechoice..........maybe give some Grand Am teams a call? Doran Racing would be a good bet (Fishey on ohiobimmers works for them).

     

    TC does deal in Moton and Sachs Performance stuff though...........otherwise, give Koni a call in Kentucky

    Lee Grimes

    Koni North America

    1961 International Way Hebron, KY

    859-586-4100

     

     

    but again, Truechoice is the best bet out there locally.........just drop in unannounced...they're in Hilliard off Cemetery/Leap Rd I believe
