So who's watched it. Crazy race. Chanel 663 HDT

These guys have to be the craziest drivers alive. Today's race 17 minute laps 4 laps per race and the leader Averages 131 mph through streets and mountains. Top speeds reaching almost 170mph. No biggie in a car. These guys are on liter bikes .......Holy Shizzle wish I were there

 

Yea, I watched it too. It's nuts! Little margin for error too. I found it by accident and I couldn't stop watching it.

 

Yeah, it's pretty nutty when you see a motorcycle come over a bump skimming about a foot of air for 75 feet.

I've watched it a few times. Pretty nuts.

 

I've been watching the Isle of Man TT for years. I think they need a rally car version of it. That would rock!

 

^^^rally is what i would love to do.....i can't afford it
i watch every second of rally i can

 

This might be a relatively "cheap" way to get into it - bringatrailer.com/2010/01/14/bat-exclusive-rally-modified-1966-bmw-2000c/

Targa West has a 1 day rally in BC this year. I'd like to do it but it probably won't happen for me this year.

 

the cost of rally is 4 times that of a typical pro weekend like i used to run. it's up with running a ALMS car close to 125k a weekend but i would assume it is 4 times as fun Unless you end up 200ft down a bank

 

I truly think that these guys have no fear at all. Probably the only sport in the world where you'd have to have ZERO fear factor to play. I couldn't imagine coming close to these guys. I've started to watch them again thanks to Mark.

My favorite parts is when they have those two-up bikes flying around. The passenger would have to have absolute trust in the rider.

This car looks like a good rally candidate cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp?tracktype=usedcc&csDlId=&csDgId=&listin gId=34133419 (no affiliation)

 

Is that the one at Roslyn Porsche? I've been looking at one close for a while

ok edit. .....where is that Martini car?

 

It's at
Pioneer Centres
888-446-3916
in San Diego. looks like a nice one

 

cool car. i used them for a PPI last year. i hope it's still there in 2011 since i'm on car buying hiatus for 2010

 

Very cool stuffs. So what's the TT stand for?

 

Time Trial is my guess. They start at different time frames but the faster guys are always passing the Wimps....LOL. The guys only willing to 155 in the straights and fly 40ft instead of 75ft through the air. Pu$$ies all of em
