The video was at a racetrack with a bunch of different type of cars and each cars started the race at different times. The last car to start the race was an F1 car and it still beat all the other cars in the race. I'm sure all the cars were red too.

Thanks!

Didn't Top Gear or something similar do that? With a Ford Cougar, a 911 and the F1 car? I remember the F1 car started a minute after the others or something then beat the 911 on the last straight.

Edit: missed the last page. Beaten by a long way.

I dont understand this at all. Why would you be driving with an open bed? Why would you continue to drive through a low pedestrian bridge with people on it? Why would you just stand there afterwords with your hands on your head surprised like what did I just do?! What a loving dumb rear end. I hope no one died cause if they did seriously gently caress this dude. This poopoo happend down the street from my house and my mom was on that bridge. Said her car jumped a good 2 feet in the air. Then we had a great summer of backed up traffic while they fixed the fucker.

Technically thats from one of his videos I think.

Like the air freshener always being in frame in the in-car shots. It reminds you to imagine what that must have smelled like. Probably a combination of Wild Cherry and the 4th of July.

Open diff and if you listen it hits 3rd. The official guy was running up to tell him hes doing it wrong presumably. The tire was probably crappy for it to snap like that, I would expect the diff to explode or something.

More than likely he was running over to tell him only one wheel was spinning or possibly, from his vantage point, he thought neither wheel was spinning and he was roasting his clutch.

You guys just think I like automatics, but bracket racers take that poo poo to the extreme. Bracket racers are all about consistency to the point of ridiculousness. We're talking about running the same times, every time, to the hundredth of a second.

Using a clutch and manually shifting the gears is obviously right out if you want to be consistent. An automatic valve body on a regular automatic transmission does an OK job of shifting at the right time, but it leaves a bit on the table. A full manual valve body will shift exactly when you tell it to shift; no delays from trying to find the gear or pushing in a clutch or waiting for the fluid to move and actuate the shift.

The main drawback of a manual valve body is that you still have to watch your RPMs and hope you shift at the right time, every time. So what's the enterprising bracket racer to do? You add an RPM based shift controller to actuate an air shifter to shift your fully manual automatic for you. :cool:

The shifter:




The controller:



The air tank:

Many moons ago i drove a friends air shifted thunderbird. He trusted me since the tranny was dieing and i couldn't gently caress anything up. My only instruction was hold it to the floor and don't let up until the end of the track. I put my arm on the tunnel out of habit and got hosed, seriously, air shifting into your funny bone is not actually funny.
