Indeed, but I have a thing for 505's I don't like to talk about...

If that advert had been done with a 505, it'd be NSFW....

That's how I totaled my last car. Sounds weird, but the weight transfers off the rear axle (lessening grip) and onto the front axle somewhat increasing grip. In my situation, I nailed the brakes (no ABS) and steered hard, then countersteered to come out of the skid. I didn't make the countersteer and struck another…

Steering hard right with the tires locked would have most likely induced oversteer, even in a FWD car. It's a natural response to do that, but the brakes would have to be released before turning the steering wheel to keep the car from rotating.

Chevy S-10 eXtreme. S-10's are common, plentiful, and are the worker ant of the truck world. This one however, isn't so much. It was nice in that it had the big 4.3 six with plenty of torque, they just weren't that fast or necessarily fun to drive like a Syclone / Typhoon would be. Lowered suspension for better…

This isn't an investment piece, this is a driver. This is one you can have fun with that has the drivetrain actually in it and functioning. The 3-speed is rare, but change that out (along with the rear end) with something that has 4 or 5 gears and put the original in storage in case you pass the madness on. Add…

Part of the miata's appeal is that it's an easy car to explore the limits in, which it seemingly begs you to do more and more with each passing mile. Yes power is a bit low, but that's why other cars out there. The aftermarket isn't the same as say a civic, but what's there is usually quality stuff. The NA's are…

I agree 100%. I worked in the tower at a dirt track and they may not see it even with several sets of eyes. The later flags on dirt can be for letting a rolling car get off the track if they can. Dead stops bring yellows, audible warning on raceiver, plus red flashing lights of safety crew vehicle.

And I'm sure nobody patrols that either....

Yep. AL 24 between Russellville and Red Bay when they were (or still are) 4-laning it. Yeah, the DOT up here does the same thing, especially on the interstates.

I hate to say it, but their laws work and have the effect of people slowing down, but that decision is made out of fear rather than logic. Jail time is overkill for that amount though, hands down.

Last ticket in AL was 63 in a 45 Construction zone with workers present. I shouldn't have passed the car, but a cement truck was bearing down on me. $185, no court.

A new car (warranty) is only as good as the dealership doing the repairs. Trust me on this one.

Yeah, don't stand close to the corners of the fence around Victory Lane....That's where I was standing when they fired the torches off after the end of a heat.

I'm willing to bet the raceceiver audio was interesting as well. I worked for several years at a dirt track (way more entertaining that NASCAR) and didn't see or hear of any incidents like this. The track manager shouldn't allow those two back in, period. Fights happened all the time at our track, but not with…

Speaking of Americans speaking Japanese painfully...

Alabama liked Javelins too.. reportedly, nothing ever got away from them.

My favorite method in the last FWD (Ford Contour) car I had was to start into a corner, then stab the brake pedal quickly, but let off dial in some oppo and give it the throttle. Car didn't have ABS and was a slushbox, and had V-rated 205 section BFG's on the rear. If you ever watch a dirt late model race, that's…

Playing devil's advocate here, but there is a dirt track across the street from the superspeedway and the game title doesn't have "Superspeedway" in it...

This! You have to prove your confederate ancestry, which I did for the SCV scholarship I applied for. BTW, my ancestors didn't own slaves and fought and died for the confederacy at the Battle of Chickamauga in a regiment from Alabama.
