Yup, it's me. It wasn't until after the rallyX that I realized this was your build thread. 
Who thought it was too wide? I can understand wanting some narrow parts, not all stage rally forest roads have infinite width, but if you take a corner wide, it costs you time so you learn to get tighter. At least you can actually learn to control the car in the corner that way. If I can't slide the car sideways in a safe place like a rallyX, I will never learn how to read the surface and know *before* I go wide how to properly negotiate the turn when going wide *isn't* an option.

I'll not name names on who said it was too wide... Also I can't quite remember who it was.
Those videos, both of them, look like great fun. The second video actually has a proper hairpin and everything, with good speed into and out of it, looks excellent. I dont want to turn this into too much bellyaching, I know it may sound as If I am. The PSCC guys are doing well with what they have, and I am glad they put in the effort. Ontop of that it is way more then I have organized, thats for sure. I just want MORE  . Some more chances for mid corner speed would be awesome... With how mushy the dirt there is it seems like there would be a pretty good safety buffer for some more speedy sections.
But on the flip side, we had to change the course multiple times due to ruts deep enough to get the faster guys on 2 wheels when they messed up. So I think some of my bitchin' is a bit out of place. Jimmy, The mustard streak was captured in one short but awesome video and some pics. I am at work now, I will post some up for ya post haste. Got the email too, thanks. I found plenty of sideways time here too, its just that it was under power trying to get away from a tight turn i crawled through in 1st. |
