Default It's been a while.... Pics of Spoom Bucket

The car has been in hibernation for 1.5 years. I only made it to one event last year and it's been sitting in my garage the whole time. With Expo coming up, finally got an excuse to get it back up running. These pics were taken just yesterday.

Car is being worked on by ProFunction at the moment. Trying out a new heart and have a thorough checkup on everything. I hope to make it in time for the Expo, if not, we'll try to be at Autobahn for the Redline Time Attack.





Thanks GT Motoring for letting me use this monster rig, but screw them for having such a slow and ugly GTR and M3!!!

That POS still looks too straight for a race car, you need to get it out more

That truly is a Spoom Bucket if I've ever seen one.

It was 2007, so been a while. Fellow racer overcooked corner, plowed through the field from the inside. Chain reaction and I ended up getting hit in 3 corners. Luckily all cosmetic tho.

I guess it's because the car has been whored out too much and people are sick of it.

Found the tape!
I couldn't turn in because the red Prelude was on my right door. He clipped me on the right front and proceeded to shoot forward and hit the Si. As I got clipped, I was forced to go straight and hit the right rear of the Si with my left front; and during the process, I got hit in the left rear by the silver DC2.

Red Prelude locked because he overcooked that corner entry.
Silver DC2 behind me locked because of all the melee in front of him.

You didn't miss it. I just never posted it before until last night.
Lude driver admitted fault, and the ruling was satisfactory. I didn't want to raise any controversey with people pointing fingers at who was right or wrong, so I didn't post the vid. But now I figured it's been almost 2 years, it doesn't matter anymore.

That's a pretty sweet caR! I always liked the Spoon decal/paint job. Glad it's back with the living.
