Great Videos, guys. Here's the Black Pearl's timed runs. Old tires (+25 heat cycles) makes for fun laps!! New tires are planned for the next event.

Interesting question.


Well as the only one who has driven both cars at speed I feel I would be the best person to answer that question.
But some things are best kept to oneself... :-?

Well that is no fun :?

I would guess, we would both over drive to beat the other person, I would go off in a cloud of brake lockup smoke, Mark would go off spinning like a top after going to the gas too soon and too hard or after hitting a apex curb with the firm suspension and being bounced into a spin :banghead:

No!!!

I would start slowly to get used to the car and set up and then gradually increase speed to find the limits of the car, determine braking points and figure out when and where I could roll on the throttle. On the 2nd lap I would really start to push it and then I'd go off. :lol:

Jad would be confused by the lack of power and would drive off in a cloud of brake lockup smoke while still looking to see if the gas peddle was connected. :banghead:

I think the second CORNER, not the second lap, is more likely. How did your second corner in the Silver Bullet go? :oops:

By the way, what is a gas peddle? Maybe if you pressed the gas pedal, you would be faster :lol:

Doh! The gas pedal is that long pedal to the right that controls the steering, right? :wink:

Top? :o
#2 is as close to the top as I get. I have plenty of trophys with second place on them as it is...
As long as Jad runs the 996 is CC12 he is golden.
Jad had me covered by 2.5 seconds in the BRI.
Now AX? That's where I have BRI covered.

OK, OK .... Back to videos!

Here's one where I try to:

1) Keep up with a Madman.
2) try to out-do a Pitch-and-Catch behind a Madman.
3) Realize my "Sticky" tires have as much tread and grip as my hairline! :x

Enjoy ....
