What types of special adjustments have to be made to the aero and suspension to account for an oval environment versus a street environment? In what way, if any, does tuning for grip during the banked corners compromise stability on the straights?

Oh? Where do you recognize it from?
Hahaha. I had to do the tach sticker trick with my old Saturn SC2. I remember my dad following me down a long, straight back road in his car, talking to me via walkie talkie with his buddy sitting beside him with a notepad. He'd walkie me and tell me the speed and I'd tell him the tech reading and gear. Then his buddy…
That's honestly sort of true. My car doesn't have to be jumped, but I do have a short somewhere that blows the fuse that controls the gauge lights, license plate lights (not an issue in S.C.), and the glovebox light. I'll switch in a fuse and hit the headlight switch and the gauge lights will stay on for 5, maybe 10,…
You can't mention crazy Indy 500 engines without talking about the Novi V8.
Motorcycle Maypole?
He omitted my gif of me doing under-steery donuts in a snowy parking lot while screaming 'WEEEEEEEEE!', which sort of took the air out of it, haha.
Seriously though, I'll admit the Quattro system can get you unstuck from almost anything, but I'll be damned if the car doesn't understeer like a figure-skating Humpback…
"I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of my skyward nose blocking out the sunlight so that I can't see the invoice from my mechanic. Oh and by the way, did I tell you how the Torsen II system is better than all of the Haldex all-wheel-drive systems ever made combined? Oh-oh-oh! Did you know I have an 'ABS Off'…

The driver looked straight forward, directly at Kimi before Big Nige moved him out of the way. I imagine the driver may have said something to the effect of 'Hey, will someone get the red Power Ranger out of my lane?', Big Nige heard it over the radio and did exactly that.
As for the short gap between Roadblock Kimi…
It's a long story, but basically a friend was moving and didn't want it, didn't want to go through the hassle of putting a For Sale ad up, and owed $87 in back taxes on it. So I got lucky. :-)
Glad to hear it. I always wondered why it wasn't later to cater to those folks who aren't able to comment until they get home from work.
Ah yes. I remember living up that way. Sadly, maturity levels seem to have less of a hold in South Carolina. I don't know if it's the lack of required inspections or what, but the number of boy-racers and fart-can ricers is absurd here. If you drive anything even partially sporty and find yourself next to one at a…
Where doth ye habitate, good sir?
I can see this turning out great on a lot of first dates.
Her: "Hey...why is your car showing you a half-off 'Frequent VIP' coupon for Madame Kamay's Filipino Palace?"
Him: "I...er...um. My roommate borrowed the car last weekend...?"
