You can see the tan car(two cars ahead of the camera car) swerve as someone cuts them off. Presumably they were blocking the view.

From the related video's with one of those drag race video's on the previous page. http://youtu.be/klDiAqOi_oM I now have this mental image of that old lady utterly mocking some boy racers in their Tupperware laden Golf GTI at a traffic light.

I remember a while ago in Moscow before the internet, they would have a whole show on in the mornings that was just the worst of the crashes caught on tape from the night before. I deliver Pizza and have been seriously thinking about investing in a dash cam for I too experience some bullshit on the road quite frequently. (any good examples? I know we had a thread on this a long time ago but it was more for auto-x)

It's possible that there was another driver in front blocking the view, who swerved to the right in the last second. Or he was just not paying attention I guess...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2T3ubkoI0A Just two more weeks until the new European Championship starts. As much as I love MotoGP, ETCC or any other fast motorsport, there's just something about 15 tonne 8x8x8 trucks from the soviet era crawling about in a rock quarry. Also I like seeing how a 30 year old Tatra 813 with it's ancient 18 litre, N/A, aircooled V12 Diesel can still take on a brand new MB Actross or Ginaf CF and come out on top, despite the huge technology gap. It feels so much more sports-like when money is considerably less important than skill.

Shamelessly stolen from Exi7wound in the SAS NASCAR thread. Onboard at Sonoma with Kevin Harvick Despite popular opinion, NASCAR drivers do know how to turn right. Kevin is one of the better drivers at it, too. Fun video.

There's skill, and then there's that. That was more "my testicles are larger than yours" than anything.

When Cup or Nationwide run on the road courses, it's generally some of the best road racing you'll see anywhere. Cup, Watkins Glen finish 2011

Are these completely different cars than the ones that run on oval circuits?

More or less, yes. To get a car to turn left all day, the suspension and chassis is set up in a way that the cars want to go left even on the straights, but for a road course they balance the setups. Generally teams will have many different cars at the shop for each year, but they'll only build two or three road course cars a year. Outide of the setup, the engines and bodywork are what you'd find on an oval.

Do comments on my own videos count? I posted one when I got the car asking if it sounded like it was turning over slow.. almost 2 years ago. Had posted it on NissanClub (turns out KA24DE's.. just sound that way I guess). Some ricer just left a comment about his v-tech leaving me in the dust. The video also had 0 likes/dislikes until today.  Yes, I can be a grammar

Especially when the first few hits when googling the name turn up articles about someone charged with child porn.  Though Ruiz is an extremely common last name..

NASCAR still utilizes a clutch and a 4 speed, so the experience today is the same. A NASCAR driver knows how to heel toe?!

Lord Gaga posted:Uhh is that how normal people heel toe? I use toe on brake, heel to give throttle. Normal people heel toe by rolling the foot, so the left half of the foot is on the brake, right half of the foot is on throttle. For cars like his where the throttle is buried in the footwell then he basically has no other choice. How would you expect him to get his heel on the gas?

Right I pivot on the heel of my foot instead of like he does on the ball. I guess because I feel like I get a much better feel of the braking pressure that way. He could put the pedal wherever he wants. Obviously in my car theyre more even.

He could put the pedal wherever he wants. Obviously in my car theyre more even. If you look at the steering shaft, brake, clutch and gas pedal arrangements are dictated by that. There's some room for customization, but it would still necessitate an unnatural split between gas and brake.
