[death_roll]

it was this cocky kid from atlanta, Im sure mommy & daddy will pay to get it towed and fixed.

I took him and a fellow blue subie owner for a dragon run last night

2145 total miles, i drove from fontana to harrisburg pa with a punctured & leaking tire, had to plug it at Nate's because it started leaking faster

Im gonna start looking through keiths exhaust video footage & hopefully get a fimished video in a few weeks

 

[07TLX]

So how did he blow the motor?

 

[KennyGS]

I'm guessing he guessed wrong on a downshift.

 

[07TLX]

or was running the wrong gear and wasn't paying attention....

 

[clevrname]

He ran through the whole dragon in 2nd and kept his engine at like 9k and didn't shift at all. I think they said he spun a rod. I put 1400 on my car, poor baby, felt bad for it. But I know what I need for next year :biggrin:

Yes, he didn't bring any parents, basically what Josh said about running at 9k is right. He was on the Friday group drive through GA and was driving like a madman to keep up with the front cars.

 

[07TLX]

Si can run 2nd gear only on the dragon but your motor will scream.... I know that Ken would run in 2nd and I would run in 2nd in my LX with no problem...

 

[Damaca]

I had too much fun again.

 

[death_roll]

I was running 2nd gear on the "fast" runs, I took Robert's place this year as the one nobody could keep up with

 

[jrotax101]

Gotta rep the old school runners. I hope you showed them how it's done!!

IDK how some people keep it in second in their Si's unless they just cruise at redline for the sake of it.. granted I had the blower on when I had mine there in '08 but I hit the top of 3rd numerous times..

I spent the weekend schooling GT3's and other cars I wish I could afford.

Wrong thread

 

[webby]

I recall gonzo keeping his in 2nd gear a lot of the run. There were only a few places I recall him putting it in third.

 

[death_roll]

On the way out to the turn around I ran 3rd 90% of the time, but on the way back the hairpins are a bit tighter so I kept it in 2nd 75% of the time, needed 3rd for the straights. I don't have much of my tires left anymore

Connor's white S2K was well set up, but he really didn't come out for night runs too much.

 

[clevrname]

I ran 2nd for most of the tight curves. Even though my car is flashed to redline at 8600 if it got close to 7600-7800 I went to 3rd. I can't afford to **** up my engine. That one kid last night who had a 2011 FA5 and only Direzza Star Specs kept up with all the Subies last night that were behind the MS3, he was doing very well. Of course, JasonPA was in front of the MS3 so we never saw him again.... lol

 

[Damaca]

I ran the whole thing in first.

 

[MrsJrotax101]

I ran the whole thing in R

 

[jrotax101]

That sounds really painful...

 

[Damaca]

Okay you caught me, Robert. I ran it in neutral. My car is so incredibly awesome, the sheer force of its awesome was enough to propel it up and down hill and around switchbacks an chicanes. It radiated a near godly like presence of glory and absolute awesome.
