I had the same stuck throttle issue once racing dirt oval. It was in a heat race, once I fell out of a qualifying position I pulled off. But until that time I did the same kill switch trick. Unfortunately there was a delay from when you threw the switch + when the car fired up-so it made it a bit tricky....

Maybe “off road trail legal.” Surely not “crash tested-emission tested NHSTA street legal.” 

Bigger brakes? Better handling due to less sidewall flex?

Now now be fair. Thats a game both sides play. 

It almost will make it worse. Salty water will get in more places than solid salt. 

The magazine was Sports+ Exotics. Which they unfortunately dropped.

A bit older than wanted-but in turbo diesel form will last forever.

Back when BaT was fun blue collar site for the average shumck, the Peerless was the “brown manual diesel” of the site. 

How about Vt. Gov. Phil Scott. Who races and wins in a late model!

The answer is obvious-although bad. Build a SUV.

Pinto’s got quite a bad rap-but they really weren’t that bad a car for the era. Lots of power from the 2.3 (compared to Datsun + Toyotas that were mainly 1.6-1.8) you could-and should- beat the living shit out of them. I know a few that had a life that EVERY shift was a powershift at 6k-for many many miles. They…

Ok Torch-spill the beans. This is at least the 3rd time you’ve posted NSU’s as an opening picture. (There are maybe 7 of us that noticed). What’s your thing with NSU’s? 

Yea-take away the rules-I’m sure the teams will control themselves.

Don’t care how good you are-theres other ways you can get screwed. Speeding on pit road with 50 to go? Bad pit stop? He sure seems to have shitty luck on pit road. I DO see him driving his ass off. But it would suck if he had any bad luck at all.

They made bad-ass cool looking race cars.

Don’t forget-in 1972 the rating went from gross (at flywheel) to net (at rear wheels.)

Reading the entries “done that-yup-yup-well...ok yup-done that too.....”

So are we going to continue to go to other planets-and when we meet its inhabitants, call them ‘aliens’?

Yea? I raced up it in 7:06. Hope your shoes don’t give you a blister...
