I'm still kind of sad that you sold the coupe.

I'll miss watching your race videos for sure <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/worship.gif" /> <br /><br />And thanks for the crash video...it really shows that proper protection is necessary in a track car.

There's no traction on dirt. Step on the brakes and the tires lock up. With the tires locked, it's the same resistance regardless what direction it travels meaning the car will travel sideways just as easy as going forward. Off the brakes and the car will want to travel in the direction the tires will roll.<br /><br />He did the right thing by wanting to ride it out. He just ran out of runoff. A sandpit in that area would have helped.<br /> <br /> <small>[ July 06, 2012, 09:24 PM: Message edited by: SteveL ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>331SVO</b> <br /><small>Member # 7376</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2012,6,7,23,50,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I really need to step up my game and get my roll bar done already nice to know the driver is ok .
