MARYLAND TACOMAS

Good luck on your first rally

 

Thanks, the overall winner from last year is racing in my class, so I've got some stiff competition. I've also got a decent crack in the body from just the practice course

 

Thanks, I'm gonna need it

 

come get some practice an do some work to mine!

 

Never heard of it

 

You're fired.

 

Trump Jr. Don't you have to pay someone for a service before you can fire them

 

Go look it up, it's Tons of fun.

And here's the link to the live timing, I'm number 596, Matt Tripp. http://rallylive.scca.com/RX/SF.html

The times are total times wit penalties, the number after the time is the number of cones, and if it says g that's a gate I wiped out. Cones are 2 seconds, gates are 10

 

Remember brake early into the corner then throttle out.

 

Just worry about the understeer. Fwd sucks in the dirt

 

No understeer to speak of. I'm on snow tires on hard pack gravel... lots of oversteer, but no understeer.

 

Just so you understand, understeer is when the front end slides out. Not the back end.

You come in hot to a turn and the front end keeps sliding straight no matter how hard you turn the wheel.

 

In my day we called that being tight. Only F1 fans use terms like understeer.

 

What about the term "front end chatter" or "over heating the tires"?

 

Your Mom's tight! Ooooooo

 

Yup. You underestimate how slippery hard pack gravel is. I'll upload some go pro footage after I'm back and you'll see it

 

Also, there's a lot of loose gravel on top of the hard pack in the current layout, so it's super slippery

 

No.

 

Better than her having oversteer.

 

Like drivin' on ball bearings.
