phil Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 The scary factory definitely comes in at higher speeds, but if you car is "lifting" and "gliding" at 160, it probably wasn't meant to be there. :dumb: I've dome some "unreasonable" speeds late at night on a closed coarse for 1mile+ and never felt any sort of strangeness. Bottom line: High speed rolls at 140+ = SCARY Digs: No scary, but requires SKILL I hate agreeing with you, but this maybe true. 140/160 are really quite a big difference though. 140 is like ehh, 160 shit gets sketchy. Now the skill comes in handy to maintain the car cause at that speed things are moving so fast any slight adjustment is a major move. Try switching lanes at 160. The slightest movement of the wheel will push you over 3 lanes. So I see the skill in that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I'll just say it agian, junk ass falling apart cars are a big handfull at high speeds, those same junk ass cars have no chance of runing faster then 12s in the quarter making them as hard to launch as my grandma pulling away from a stop light in her Camry.

The slightest movement of the wheel will push you over 3 lanes. So I see the skill in that Yes, but it's far easier to hone your skills launching than to hone one's skill at 160+ I'm not nearly as brave as I used to be, I generally shut down at 120-130. If it's not clear by then, I don't really care. :dumb: And that in of itself is very very rare...I like being an adult and not paying a bazillion dollars for insurance every year.

phil Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I usually shut it down after 120 myself anymore as well. Now if we swap the topic a little, I did 130 on my 1k and wanted to come back to earth so fast. I never want to do that again, 130 plus on a bike is about the scariest shit I ever did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I've been over 150+ a couple times and I was more worried about a blowout than anything. But I think roll racing just has its appeal because there's a better chance of getting off a better race than a dig, where there are multiple factors that could kill a clean run.

Bigbird Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I hate agreeing with you, but this maybe true. 140/160 are really quite a big difference though. 140 is like ehh, 160 shit gets sketchy. Now the skill comes in handy to maintain the car cause at that speed things are moving so fast any slight adjustment is a major move. Try switching lanes at 160. The slightest movement of the wheel will push you over 3 lanes. So I see the skill in that This on a bike x1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
