Road Racing Thread

[Skrapbob]

When I was a kid in the 70's, early 80's, we had an annual scca race that stopped through Goddard Ks (Lake Afton Gran Prix) every august. My dad used to take my brother and myself to watch every year. I remember the different classes of cars racing throughout the day, with the last race being the big v8 cars and anything that could keep up with them. Mustangs, Corvettes, a Cobra, and a little VW GTi that beat everything except the Cobra.
I have always loved road racing. Here in south central Kansas, all of our roads are like a grid. Straight, flat, and boring, with the exception of a highway entrance ramp here and there. So most concentrate on 1/4 mile, but I still love the feel of lateral G's.
Your videos are great. I can feel myself leaning and straining in the corners at my computer monitor, rooting for you to get through the corner and make up some time on the car in front, while picturing myself someday driving a car that can tear up the track like Tweak does.
My car will never be as capable as yours, but I am anxiously awaiting a write up for how you have your suspension setup, so that I will hopefully be able to feel the road underneath me a little better someday.

GO TWEAK, GO!!!

Nice to have and show good respect for others on the track!

Lol! Yeah, he let me pass on the straight, so I gave him a friendly goodbye wave. It was a deal that we made before the race. I didn't want to crowd him in the corners, so I stayed behind until he let me pass on the straight. I wouldn't want to risk damaging tweak, or that beautiful Hemi Monster. The Dodge needed all the room it could get in the corners. Tweak can Hang with the Big V8's on the front stretch, but she needs a little more power to be able to pull them. It's fun to watch these muscle cars wag their tails trying to put down all that torque on the road coarse.

I love how you wave at them ya I just passed you!

Okay, for those of you who aren't bored of the track videos yet, here's another. This one is just Tweak and that Charger R/T alone on the track. The driver of the charger wanted to see if he could loose me. It wasn't going to happen. Tweak can maintain much more corner speed than the Charger. If you watch close you can see the charger sliding around quite a bit, he really was pushing the car.

Enjoy!

Yeah, I think it's pretty safe to say that most festiva owners enjoy corners. These little cars are just a blast on the tight n' twisted roads. They soak up bumps as if they were a midsize car, yet they are one of the lightest subcompacts ever sold in this country. One thing everyone here probably will agree on, the festiva is a fun car to drive anywhere.

I just think more guys need to try the twisties with the festiva... there is not much of a representation of road racer guys on here, thats all.

I don't take the drag racing stuff that serious, too me its more of a test of lets see what number my car can pull, and what other cars that number can be related too. I'm all about the twistes when it comes to having fun!!! Don't get me wrong the 1/4 mile is fun if your beating up on v8 guys and have everybody scratchin their head, And I've done that alot lol.

Oh, and AZ is a right to work and shoot to kill state, so no union B.S. and you can carry a firearm anywhere that's not clearly posted otherwise

My aunt lives there. Theres tarantulas, black widows, scorpions, rattlers, and meth labs. But theres race tracks and tweak too.

That sounds like Apache junction to me! Lol

I have a pet tarantula, and I've seen 1 black widow and 3 scorpions in the 12 years that I've lived here. I've seen1 rattle snake in the wild and 1 of my good friends did get hooked on the meth, but he's clean now. Tweak loves her meth, but it's not the typical bathtub brew. Lol

Half of Canada is moving down here to AZ, you people are everywhere down here! I can always tell a Canadian by the jean shorts and bleached white legs! Lol:p
Anyhoo, You all should move out here (at least for the winter months), we have beautiful women everywhere, exotic cars are like minivans and there are lots of jobs. I don't even have to mention the Barrett Jackson car auction or the fact that you never have to worry about rust or moldy carpets again! Oh, say goodbye to mosquitoes and chiggers too! Hardly any bugs out here!
I'm done.

I'm convinced. On top of it all, I would get to watch tweak go around the track

[Advancedynamix]

New Video! I got my video editing software and laptop to cooperate! This one is a little more to the point. I rapidly catch up to lap traffic, which includes a Dodge charger R/T, and fully built mustang race car.

Enjoy!
