Anybody else remember the Joie Chitwood Thrill Shows? I remember seeing them drive all around an oval on two wheels...

I was there that year. They also had a prepared class RX2 get up like that and got a photo of it.Kurt Rahn wrote:That's crazy in a modern car. How could you get that far out of shape without some sort of correction to stop it? From one of those photos, it looks like the car went all the way over. Did it?Christine Berry wrote:I didn't realize that this picture lived anywhere in a digital format but then Andy Hollis posts it on the sccaforums.com so here it is for your viewing pleasure:
They did have a 3 series BMW go all the way over one year. Correct me if I'm wrong..but wasnt it Dr Strelnicks ? Whoever it was broke their arm with that manuver.

And anybody who has visited the Berry Manse has seen the awesome shot of a certain CSP RX3 two wheeling it with Chris Grivas behind the wheel.

I can't believe I can't find this somewhere on this board, so I guess it can go here.
Mr. Hollis was laughing harder than I've ever seen him laugh when he was shown this episode (part) of Southpark Saturday night in Lincoln. He liked it so much, he even posted/linked it on SCCAforums.

I saw it on TV and just about crapped myself...I thought I was having a very vivid dream, or super heavy acid flashback.

Re: Son of "Don't Drift this Thread"'s long lost cousin...
Just in case you are having a rough day, here is a stress management technique recommended in all the latest Psychological journals.
The funny thing is that it really does work and will make you smile...
1. Picture yourself lying on your belly on a warm rock that hangs out over a crystal clear stream.
2. Picture yourself with both your hands dangling in the cool running water..
3. Birds are sweetly singing in the cool mountain air.
4. No one knows your secret place.
5. You are in total seclusion from that hectic place called the world.
6. The soothing sound of a gentle water fall fills the air with a cascade of serenity.
7. The water is so crystal clear that you can easily make out the face of the person you are holding underwater.

This is, without a doubt, the funniest car review I've read.
One fun quote: "It’s the first car I’ve ever considered crashing into a tree, on purpose, so I didn’t have to drive it any more. "

At least they (appear to have) stayed on the outside. I've had a mouse move into both of the Civics stored in the Uhaul, and once the box was sealed, the little bugger moved into the cab of the truck. So both the Civic and the cab of the Uhaul smell like mouse pee/poo. :barf:Sebastian Rios wrote:Check out my ST car's new environmentally friendly, all natural, vinyl wrap job!

Two observations...
1) You'd almost have to be trying to do that to get so many cones under the front end of a Civic.
b) I'm guessing that the amount of friction generated by the cones was enough to cancel out a good chunk of the power coming out of the front wheels
