This talk brings back memory of an guy at a test day at Famoso back around 1998. It was at the end of the day and this really old guy is making lap after lap without cooling down in a mach 1 stang. Car looked like it wasnt set up too well and launched really violently. It seemed as if he was sidestepping the clutch at full throttle. Front wheels up with a pronounced frame twist and hard landings that seemed to unload the rear tires. The front wheels were bump steered into flapping like wings, all this with a noticeable weave of two to three feet left to right all the way down the track. Im sure everyone has witnessed this scene before but what made it odd was the scoreboard. 11.02, 11.03, 11.02, 11.04, 11.05 all with .010-.020 lights!!!!
Now that right there wins most small time non E bracket races around here.
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
