Aw man, now you are gonna have me watch Cannonball Run this weekend. Was probably already gonna do Smokey and the Bandit since I bought it cheap on Bluray, looks like it'll be a good weekend

Never knew Mike was in cannonball run... no wonder he has the money to buy the hellkitty...

Well thanks Jerk now I gotta learn how to run race render. 😛

The whine reminds me of WW2 documentaries where they are videoing Stuka dive bombers in Poland in like 39.

I thinking more like straight cut gears in the transmission of a 50's school bus.

the cannonball run has a different meaning in Canada.....Mike's cannonball run is a mission to procure more ammunition for the cannons the military up here still uses....

In the series, Don't Panic is a phrase on the cover of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.[4] The novel explains that this was partly because the device "looked insanely complicated" to operate, and partly to keep intergalactic travellers from panicking.[49] "It is said that despite its many glaring (and occasionally fatal) inaccuracies, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy itself has outsold the Encyclopedia Galactica because it is slightly cheaper, and because it has the words 'DON'T PANIC' in large, friendly letters on the cover."[4]

Arthur C. Clarke said Douglas Adams' use of "don't panic" was perhaps the best advice that could be given to humanity.[50]

Results in my class, D class.

Fastest time of the day was a first Gen MR2 cut up into a go kart - it did a 49.9. Here are all of the big dogs since people love to compare apples and oranges.

This was my quickest/smoothest run - but I just nicked a cone transitioning into the stop box. Driving this car is unlike anything I have ever experienced - so much weight over the front axle line - it would seemingly equate to driving a Porsche 911 in reverse as far as balance goes. I am currently running a 6 psi difference front to rear to compensate for the 60/40 weight distribution (36/30). I have been slowly lowering the pressure watching for roll over onto the shoulder... the rears are starting to come around - they are far from under inflated.

Another issue is predicting the car's tendancy to rotate and pivot. Unlike the Buick and Camaros I grew into over most of my "career" the additional 8+ inches of wheel base in this car is taking some getting used to - not to mention that those cars didn't have half the engine forward of the axle centre line.

Last point (excuse?) I will raise is finding a smooth way of applying the throttle. As I discovered earlier the various traction control settings remap the pedal to throttle body - where turning TC completely off creates a better relationship between my foot and the engine. More progressive application of power is ideal - I am happy inducing a controlled slide... and since I have yet to loop the car, I am nowhere near it's limit (grip) or mine (talent).

Dude. You are way late to the power off the corners.

Not that I know WTF I'm talking about.
