Is that "Special Edition" on the brake rotors? *nut nut nut nut nut*

Awesome

Not awesome

So whats wrong with the supra? Alignment?

idiot driver needs to learn to shift without jerking with the damn wheel.

Also, that blue car that spanked the "uncontrollable" supra was amazing as fuuuu

Poor suspension for that power level and severely under tired. That guy needs to be banned from the track and sodomized for being such a dick head.

The worst part is the fast & furious crowd seeing stuff like that and going, "Holy OMG so much raw power SUPRA guy has bawlzz brah!"

Hot lap?

Man this sounds sick.

How about the space saver donut spare tires on the weightless steering end of the car?

First time watching a drag race?

It is definitely a traction issue not from the steering axle.
Could be a tire, driver or suspension problems. It probably help if he was a little quicker on the shifts, looks like hes unloading those tires pretty bad, but its got bigger problems than that.

Would be the first time I gave a ---- about a drag race, even though I don't. Had it, it also wouldn't have been the first time I saw a street car crash with "slicks and skinnies." :jerkit: But then again, I don't have any fucks to give about a dyno queen drag racer.

The point of the vids was to show a properly setup car vs. a 4 wheel wrecking ball. I couldn't believe he made that many passes and didn't get thrown off, let alone people actually lining up next to him willingly :facepalm:

Manual trans, IRS cars don't have be ice skating like people think. Trick suspension and proper rubber is key.

For instance. Nearly the same speed as the car above, but not Brian Boitano'ing 1320ft

and much, much faster and still controlled safely.

Really? A car that runs 8.9 @ 159 while sliding the entire way is a dyno queen?

I thought that corner looked extremely familiar...

That's the corner at the end of the "back-straight" at mid-ohio sports car course. It's a 3000 foot straight (a little over a half mile) - fast track bikes can eclipse 205mph on that straight. That nissan was probably doing deep into 150 or 160 when the brakes went out on it. There's a reason they keep an ambulance on standby right there - I've gotten a free ride in it before.

That corner looks so familiar because I've dropped the motorcycle twice there, both crashes probably between 90 and 110mph.

It's f()cking amazing that he walked away from that crash with just a bump on the head - holy crap.

Hans Devices and roll cages have totally changed the sport in the past 50 years.
