Joey...

When I was 16 years old I thought I was invincible and that street racing was the best thing in the world. It was much different then, and sort of a large family of people who knew eachother well and spent a lot of time together on and off the road.. Lots of fun back then. Almost six years later, I still have some growing up to do.. but boy have I grown up a lot since then. Not even interested in it anymore. I've even started to learn how to brush someone off when they try and initiate a race when I'm out in the car, which is something I never would have done years ago... Ever. I'd almost always take the bait.

Looking foward to having a dedicated track car later on in the future, but what I'm really interested in doing now is racing the bike at VIR.

 

Umm, it's New London raceway....no tech checks. Yes, i know it's kind of redneck and ghetto, but it's not that HUGE of a track, comparably speaking. Maybe they'll start doing that after this incident.

And you're right. Watching that incident further solidifies my not wanting to race on the street. Sure, we all do it on occasion, but maybe this'll keep people from doing stupid stuff (doubt it).

 

I highly doubt it racing on the street has been around for way to long (not saying its what you should do) but you just can't help but goose it a little again another car Or Truck sometimes. When you decide to do that you accept the consequences for whatever follows. However anyone else agree that the number of shear Dumbass drivers has like tripled in recent years ?

 

 

i dont forsee that happening, but its not wise to have a track and dont at least have some form of safety inspections. i know a few tracks around that run a disclaimer and have you sign off on a sheet....but they arent really admissible in court if they are pushed.

if gun makers can be sucessfully sued cause of dumbasses shooting someone....think how this would go down?

and on a side note....i would be fucking hostile if my plane got hit cause it was near there. the FAA is a bitch about how shit if fixed, you cant just slap a new piece on there and bondo it on

 

Yeah. A friend of mine found out the hard way last year that a release form isn't worth the paper it's printed on. The whole purpose of release forms is to make the person think they can't sue you...

 

That might be good for me to know in the future if that ever comes up for any reason somewhere.. Not necessarily a race track, but any time I sign a release.

 

I still dout they will tech anything, a Nova rolled 4 or 5 times down the middle of the track last year and I still havent seen anyone tech'd yet. Mike said he hit all the switches in the car and it wouldnt shut down... it looked like the front tires locked up anyone know if it had linelock??

 

But yet you decided to get on it and blow off next to me last week on Brambelton ummmmmm... You should also find out why you have big puffs of Blue Smoke coming out between shifts .................................................. .................................................. .......











BTW I'm just f'n with you, but you did Blow off next to me last week and you do have some bad blue smoke between shifts

 

I started to ask if you were sure it was me, but then you mentioned the smoke. Must have been me. LOL! The smoke is from the turbo seal leaking. I assume it's dumping oil into the exhaust..

What were you driving? Sorry.
