Flipping thru channels at the gym, I would see this guy & his show. Whatever else he was quite a smart promoter.
A carrera 4s tried to get a race going a couple of nights ago on El Camino Real at a stop light. Being rear engine awd I knew he'd walk me off the line, and by the next light (1/2 mile) I'd be over 100 and hard on the abs smearing rubber all over the road if the light turned. I could calculate all this junk in my head in seconds because of................
yeah autox experience.
This poor chap did not have a clue on the physics of the whole deal or thought he was beyond it all.
What a waste.
