I've been through the whole thread and never seen a 1970's farm truck with what appears to be stock suspension move like this:

It does have a trailing arm suspension from the factory. I'm not sure if that is good for drag racing but it seems to be working for that guy.

I love how the passenger in that one is more vocal when they run right to the outside at the previous corner than when they're bouncing sideways straight through the chicane.

The brakes were useless from fading, so he pulled the handbrake and went sideways across the chicane in front of the other cars?

What a genius :downsbravo:

What's ridiculous is that the driver's comments on his video suggest that he applied the handbrake because the brakes were shot. If you actually look at the video, the idiot has his hand ready on the handbrake for a good five seconds while still accelerating.

He tried passing a line of cars and over-accelerated into a corner and when he realized he had WAY over-reached and was hosed, pulled the E-Brake which caused him to spin out. He justified it in the comments as saying "If I had not pulled the E-brake before going into the gravel trap my car would've kept going into the wall and been completely destroyed"

Worth noting that pulling the handbrake pitched him into the Armco and sent him sideways through a slow chicane. Lucky there wasn't anybody in the middle of it at the time.

Jesus. That's terrifying. It looked sort of like the passenger/instructor was scolding him for going into quite a few of the corners too hot but he just kept doing it.

Was that an A5/S5, or a TT? I see A5 owners acting like cocks all the time.

He approached slower cars way too fast entering a turn, panicked and grabbed the e-brake, and luckily got a gutter ball instead of a strike.

I think he needs to adjust his mixture, it seems to be backfiring a bit at the end there :crossarms:

Poseur gearhead here, but don't engines that have turbos need to run a bit richer than normal to compensate for the forced air at high boost?

And I even added weight back into the car to try to slow it down.

100 LESS hp would have been actually quicker, bloody thing was uncontrollable on boost

That and the effects are magnified due to the turbos proximity to the end of the exhaust. Most turbo cars have a few feet of exhaust that contains the flames.
