On board sprint car videos

[Mach1]

I'd love to drive a sprint car, you need to drive my mustang on a road course and I need to drive that sucker on some dirt, let me know when you are ready to trade for a day!

Alright. Lol.

Be forewarned, I drive em in deep as evidenced by the videos above. Lol

Looks slow.

Here's a video from this past weekend. I ended up 4th. I ran out of talent and race car.

That's gotta suck to be in 1st for along time, then end up losing it.

It does. I'm more disappointed by this 4th than I am when I finish deep in the field. I know what happened and why I lost. I won't make the same mistake again.

So what happened?

So what happened?

I took tilt out of the car which loosened it up on entry and I didn't put as much fuel in the car as I should have which decreased the rear weight percentage and cost me overall rear bite. I also should've put a different shock on the RF to let the weight transfer to the LR easier which would give me more forward bite and tighten the car up coming off the corner..

I want to drive that thing just once! Whats up wiht the second vid your rear tire shakes bad at the turns

Yes, that's sidewall flex. What's happening is I'm having to drive the car through the set to get it to turn, the left rear I had on the car is growing far more than I expected it to and tightening the car up, so I've got to throw the car sideways. The flex you see is from the LR tire gaining and losing traction. To put things into perspective, that tire (labeled as a 96) had a circumference of 92.5@ 4 lbs of air pressure at rest, the same size as my tire that's labeled as a 92. You can see how much it grew. I will not be making that same mistake again.

Might be slower but a lot more fun than that single file racing. 305 sprints don't race that good. And I bet my car makes more power.

I guess you didn't see those cars going around him on the cushion

They race a damn sight better than street stocks do. It's possible that your car makes more power (not likely, but possible) but who's is faster? I bet I could outrun your car in a Corolla. I guarantee you that my shitty racing 305 POS will outrun your car on any track condition, and my shit is almost a decade old, including the engine.

KTM, of all the tracks I've been on, I've only been on one that had a cushion. Typically when we make one the skinny tire full body cars knock the motherfucker down.

[Super Coupe]

How do you knock down a cushion? It's either there or its not. I'm not saying that your car won't outrun mine on any track condition. I said 305 sprints are boring to watch race. I've watched plenty of them. They got way to much grip for how much power they have and it makes for some crappy racing most of the time.

I realize these are not 305s but this is how it goes most of the time. Boring single file racing with barely any passing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXMU_Hg5VRY

And in stock car racing its 4 wide and tons of passing like this.

When you can't drive and instead of running against it you run over it flattening it out.

When you put the wrong tire on them (like what RPM (now defunct) and KSP has done) coupled with a track that has only one groove, sure. When they run on the tire that they're supposed to, you get things like this:



What's that? 4 wide at times? Never happens.
