It ran like crap. Really lean. I think the seal we used to seal the pipe leak closed off the fitting where they meet. I think my top end is toast after the last race. compresion test and csi coming.

Wow that track looked rough but the pilot looked like it was soaking it up pretty good.Was that Steve that got nailed at 2:20 also? Other time looked like he was trying to pass and never saw that object on the ground :shock:

Its off road racing the track is suppose to be challenging I thought it was great seeing a track that didnt look like it was groomed for a nascar driver :-)

Have you ever watch the greats like Walker Evans race on a off road track that was confined to a area where the whole course was visible from grandstands like the old SODA or COOR racing series, when they had practice Walker Evans and a few others would hit the track as a hot lap, full on RACE MODE whilst others were feeling it out driving slow, yeah I was the guy at the sidelines of their drivers meetings that would bust out laughing when one of the racers would complain about over watering the track or dust, I would make sure to laugh loud enough to attract the attention of the track officials, it was comical to hear them guys crying about track conditions, when you watched the races and see the truly greats turn a pile of shit track into 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th places race after race after race.

Just RACE! lets see who can do the best with what they were given, go home complain to your mommy or wife lol they ALL are racing on the same track under the same conditions so who is really better equipped.

I thought the track was cool setup where your half inside and out, I will assume it was designed to keep the speeds where they could afford insurance for future races, what was that building used for before offroad racing?

Inside outside thing is pretty cool. Don't think I'd want to tag the gate opening though. They could of thrown a bale in front of the posts.

Nope, I would never put my machine through that torture. If I showed up to a race and the track looked like that, I would load back up and leave.
