here some pics, it did rather well, i got tons of compliments






the guys are getting a real kick out of it on the NASA forums, lol

 

how was it...how much did it cost

 

did everyone have to wait for ya to finish? lol. J/K,. I like your "aint fraida no toast" you should def get that for real!

 

haha nice toasts graphics

 

how well did you do btw?

 

well with nasa events, you can work weekends to get credit, to run one weekend, i need to work 2 weekends. i think its around 300bucks to run

no, there was a few cars/people that were not as fast...mainly to due with they have less tire & power

its HPDE, so its not a competition, but i did graduate to the next class...most people have to go like 2-4 times to graduate

 

They let you race at that ride height?

Looked like a blast though.

I am barely allowed to run auto-x with NASA. I am still sad SCCA hates us.

 

lol the guy just made a page of just me 4 me

gotta love nasa people

a video...

That's awesome.

I live 15 minutes away from there. I would love to do that one day.

The box is interesting to watch as a race car =]


You should mount a camera on the dash and take a video from there.

 

i had made a camera mount on the back seat...but it was not solid enough, so i didn't use it

 

looks like some great fun

 

FTR at the end of that main straight i'm doing 105mph...the turn before i disappear for a while is around 65-70mph. the turn leading into the main straight i'm doing 70-73mph

 

Do they have a curvier track? I want some switchbacks and odd apexes, thats fun.

 

i was literally laughing out loud when i saw this video. there are like 5 cars in the lead pack and then this box trailing way in the back. so hilarious. sounds like some fast speeds though, maybe 1st person view? loved the racing! kudos to you!

 

i was passing people believe it or not...the first session i was riding the back of a callaway corvette...he would leave me in the straights & i'll catch up in the corners...then he figured out how to drive his car, lol

i did pass a few BMWs, a C4 corvette, & a few other cars i cannot remember

 

FWDs are fun to push to the limits, no worrys about spinning around with too much throttle either

 

Yeah, but you graduated. That won't happen in intermediate lol. The most fun happens when you find a car that's similar to yours and you can shut everyone else out and play with each other. In an MR2, I tend to find Miata's and we enjoy each others company. But you seriously have me wanting to take the box out there now. In the stills I noticed a lot of lean, but those speeds you said for the corners were pretty good. What tires are you running?

 

That is awesome! I really wanna race my box now...

 

I really want to go out there too. I'm not comfortable with left foot braking yet.


I wonder if being 4 inches off the ground and the strut bar, h brace and 22mm sway bar, and Koni struts/shocks stiffest setting would help me keep up on the track with other 100hp cars.
