And brake fluid.
BTW Speed's post reminds me that their Lemons car won at this track and I believe made a 2:09 so don't think that a momentum car can't haul ass there.

Yeah I think you're right I just seem to remember 1/2 was together and maybe 3 was separate and 4 was separate.Quote:

You drive a car that can out handle my blotted pig. You don't need brakes, you need balls.
lol @ thinking a Miata on 225 Nittos can hang with a 275 Hoosier'd E46.Quote:

My times at MSR seem to suggest that the NC ought to be pretty fast if I'd learn to drive it smoothly. I hope ECR is as much fun as the 1.3 was.
It isn't.Quote:

It's one step about drag racing, oval tracks, and autoxQuote:

ECR gets a bad rap for gravel/rocks when you go off and poor surface smoothness.
I'm thinking motorcycle for the toy run will be more fun... But then again I would like to test out my new tune and intercooler on my car as well.....decisions decisions...
Nearly fell off the chair... :claps:Quote:

I would love to try a bike but I fear it would not end well.
Why am I reminded of Jeremy Clarkson's introduction during their first Ariel Atom test whe I read this? :wink:Quote:
