I'm sorry, but my car gives me a boner. A great tune, combined with whatever mystery V8 sti motor in it gives it some serious BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP. I get a half chub just thinking about it.  Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 10/21/2014 10:09PM by HiTempguy. |

Truly these are good examples of equal vs unequal headers and how they make sound.
Some crisp, altered, muffled, etc. I'm a music buff so listening to different sounds amazes me and most often I catch myself opening the window to hear a car go by. Like music.... You like it or not  kind of like a chubby or not

All i know is that #297 car sounds AWEFUL ... lol just kidding
(don't think greer visits here but i know him)
seems like people get sideways Way to late in the snow (for that turn) i dunno, how things works on snowy roads up in tahoe may not make for good stage times at all. But i can definitely get a turbo subie way more sideways than that... When i do big white winter rally i am SOOOO ending up in a ditch.. but i'll post a good stage time or two before then ... unless i go in the ditch on stage 1... lol turn 1 .. which is likely ... lol |

It's a really narrow road that is downhill (like 6%+ grade) with snowbanks on both sides right up until the entrance to the corner. Not much maneuvering room. And it was sheer ice. Without studs, heroics like you describe usually end with people either understeering straight through the turn and off into the ditch, or having the pendulum effect carry the car waaaaaaaaay wide on exit into the snowbank (which sucks you into the ditch). Considering what happened in 2012, I was in no rush to ditch it on one corner. Massively sideways isn't fast anyways.

A big part of Big White is simply staying on the road! But yes, probably one of the steepest downhill grades (its probably a good 300ft long of a downhill at at least a 6% grade), the video is very deceptive. You should get the car put back together! Big White is the only event I am running this year (again ) but it is so worth it. And Keith is making the event bigger with new stages/loops this year is my understanding... and rallysafe :p

rallysafe? meh is that optional and or cheap ? lol I'm a big proponent on cheap , they will find my body eventually
but on a serious note i'm too far in debt to do any rallies this year. putting off fixing the rally car until i'm back to $0. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 10/24/2014 02:26PM by A1337STI. |
