It's been 5 months since I sold the R, and I'm a bit nostalgic, so I'm going to post some track video. I'm not very computer literate, so this might take a few tries to link the video correctly.

Miss it already?

 

I would, seems like fun!

 

"Take that corner, you ******* bitch!"

LOL!

 

dang man, you can drive! werent you laying low on here for awile?

 

haha good video, what mods did you have? sounds good.

 

I miss the R a lot. Although, I don't miss the theft issues, which is why I sold it.

 

Hey Jim - how is that lovely NSX working out for you?

 

It's a fun car. Not nearly as "raw" as my R, but I think it'll be faster around the track and the rwd handling dynamics will be fun to learn.

Actually, the in-car footage is shot by an Expo instructor. I'm the black R at the very beginning of the video.

 

lol

 

"Ya hear that? It's a four cylinder! Woohoo!!"

 

I already miss Summer....
*Going out on a limb*
Is that "Budman" we are riding with in the vid?

 

Bat, was it you who had the guy steal your R, then the cops chased him, then he crashed or something?

 

Here's the nicer video...with my big mouth cut out. (Really - I know the porsche driver & no 'ill - will' was intended. Please use the edited link below to avoid any confusion )

Jimmy - I've got more video...and you can drive my R at the expo (the ONLY one who can drive my R at the expo).

 

Yep that was me.

A little post-mortem to the theft story. Contrary to what the prosecutor told me last year, the kid was indeed convincted of Felony C evasion and possession of stolen property. An arrest warrant was issued and bond set, but he skipped town before the police could serve the warrant.

At least he is a wanted man now. I never knew this.

LOL, was Jeff braking as you passed? Damn, I say the R ran pretty good back then.

 

Great video . Dare I say the ITR looked better in the corners than the Porsche it was following .

I was gonna say that I couldn't hear the whine of the JRSC but as I read down the thread I realized that the ultra-fast black ITR was you.

 

best itr driver video commentary ever

 

Jeff, I need to see the unedited version. Just need proof that you actually said ........

Nice. Show that ***-engine **** slot car who's boss.

 

"You hear that its a 4-cylinder... WooHooo!". The end of the vid made me smile. to a driver who is enjoyed his type r.

 

Jim sent it to me. I have been made to think that I am the only one in our group that cusses like a sailor.....

I have corrected my ways or at least remember I've got the camera on...

That event was the second or third time I had been behind Tom in the '96 twin-turbo (modified motor/suspension by Andial in California). The result of following for several laps is quite obvious = frustration. However, I didn't feel like pulling in the hot pits like a SMART driver would. It was more fun to wait for him to get a blue flag & have to move over.

After several laps, I let Jimmy (who was waiting patiently behind me) give him a run for his money, since the 'ol JRSC wouldn't have a problem keeping up down the front straight. Go figure - he got to pass within a lap, then I was back on the waiting list.

Yes - I did let up considerably for Jim to go by.

After that session, Tom and another driver ('73 white 911) came & spoke with me to figure out why we were so much quicker than they were. VERY friendly, good guys...I miss running with the PCA.

 

btw - come to the house to pick up your camera (Jim and John) and you can watch the good quality dvd version of the cuss-fest.
