edit: it just keeps on giving:

quote:

a oil line bursted next to the down pipe and thrue up a cloud of smoke like omg
it scared the ****t out of me and when i got to the pit one of my camara guys saw a flame coming out form the hood scoop and yeld "fire" in panic and amoslt had a nervis brackdown while the driving instructor ran out the car like its was the fat kid haring the ice cream truck. so i reached in to my buddys truck for the fire extingusher and tyed to put out the flame that was on the turbo now and when i was inches away from the fire i pulled the triger and nuthing came out........ and thats when the camra guys jaw open even more and when in to the second panic raide. so i ran to one of the coolers and pored it over the turbo and put out the fire. suprisingly so nuthing got burnt at all.
so after its cooled down and we picked up all the cans of soda form the engine bay i realised the leaky oil line and swaped it out and went out the next round.
but the main problem i had that day was that there was way tomany cars on the track the wouldent point me by so i got stuck at ther pace for alot of laps.

Oddly enough they play the song from 2001 at the start of that race. Here in America we generally use that at the start of local dirt oval racing.

That or the Final Countdown.

really late content edit- I think I posted these in the SAS NASCAR thread, but some of you might get a kick out of them. I may have even posted them here :ohdear: Anyways, long story short is I grew up in the modified crowd of the northeast US. As I've gotten older, I've devoured all the history of the class both pavement and dirt, and these vids capture the a point in time when the pavement mods were almost as popular as NASCAR, or any racing series here for that matter. Bonus appearance by Richie Evans, and maybe the coolest commercial ever at the start of the first vid.

Rallycross can be pretty cool. Martin Schanche is a Norwegian legend in the sport, watch how he calmly retorts to the stab at his lead near the end:

Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip and come on up to the mothership.

All of their torture tests are like magic tricks. They make it look more severe than it really is. In that one, the battery only has to run the lights/horns/amps for one minute, then start one car. It's not running the headlights and horns of 24 cars, it's running an average of one at a time. It's not starting 24 cars, it starts one car, then the alternator does the work of starting the rest.

My $15 junkyard salvaged battery could do that.

Patrick is the coolest guy ever; my buddy's STI was tuned by him at the shop he works for, Rocket Rally. Nice to everybody and has tons of stories.

I look forward to eventually having "invested" enough in my car to go to Rocket and get him to take care of it.

That's less impressive than it first looks.

It amounts to running 12 fluorescent tubes (12 x 20W), a keyboard (100W?), a laptop (50W), A headlight (120W), and a horn (60W) for a few minutes, then starting a single car. Once the first car was started, its alternator was supplying the juice to start the rest of them.

What the gently caress is wrong with people like this? No matter how drunk or hosed up you are, you gotta notice all the cars passing you in the other direction. Suicide is the only reasonable explanation I can think of.

I could almost kind of see it in socal only because the carpool lanes have double yellows separating them from the regular traffic lanes (which as far as I can tell violates what the DMV/caltrans says about lane marker colors) but yeah she must have been pretty hammered.

drat airbag, saved her face. I was hoping to see some burns on her mugshot, no dice. She does have that few bricks short of a full ton look about her though.

I'd still bang it like a drum...


If anyone's interested.

Appears she hit two other vehicles, one before getting on the freeway, and one on the offramp she used as an onramp, in addition to the UHP cruiser. I hope its like PA, DUI while underage == automatic loss of license for up to 5 years.
