Jealous. Looks like a great event, with lots of different stuff. Are you guys entering any events, or just milling about the corral, which is what I tend to do.

Maybe Frunkenstein will mail the banner back. I haven't used it since the Shitty Outpost RV @ Festival of Speed 2019...

The stickers look just as good on AAA's trash drums as they do on 996s. :mrgreen:

I haven't tried one of the NEW stickers on a trash can yet. Or Cuda's track 986 - although the distinction is probably difficult for most folks to make.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.

Hey, at least my track trash can took 1st place in CC05 at Willow Springs this past weekend!



Track video. Its one full session . About 9 laps. Takes aggressive determination to one by one hunt down and pass all the other cars! Unfortunately when I upload to YouTube it strips out the speed and track overlay. I have to try and figure that out still. Just had the video and data logging installed last Sunday.

No lie - it's the best-handling trash can I've ever seen. (I can't believe you didn't hit the guy at 20:40! Nice braking...)

I'm confused, though - where's the requisite shower of gravel?

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.
