Time trials, nice.

Always aiming for that elusive Personal Best time.

Very interesting!

Thanks for the info

 

These things must fly with a 600cc bike engine!

 

With active aerodynamics they look like mini F1 cars.

 

any pics?

 

I participated in Formula SAE in University. Lots of fun, and the “field trips” were chock full of screamin’ GSX-R motors at 14,000rpm shredding cones.

I was part of the 2008-2010 seasons

Had to go out by myself today, wife is in the sault. Heep buddy has a family so he cant just wheel everyday like me lol

Who else would wheel alone in these conditions? I am interested to know if I am crazy for doing this shit by myself.

I feel like I have gained a ton of knowledge in the last 2 years of knowing when I will get stuck and when I wont. Judging each obstacle or area as I come to it.

Turning back is always an option.

 

looks awesome. I would do it. Then I'd get stuck. But I'd still do it.

What road?

 

Looks pretty easy to be honest lol

 

Good that is what I was thinking as well Joe.

The hardpack is thin enough on this road right now that if you do get stuck, you can spin to dirt. That was what had me doing it solo

 

Looks like a 2wd at most 4hi

Run Minden solo or Ardbeg then I'm impressed

 

Since we measure dicks...

Do Hells Revenge solo like I did and then you are a BroPro.

But seriously, this is just a normal road here in 'Berta... Spoiled Ontarians...

 

This is the road I took

It connects hwy 11 to hwy 63 via logging and hunt camp roads

 

Its the idea that it can be in any condition. It is a snow machine trail until the sun gets it to the stage its at now.

It was mostly 2wd

 

Id just be careful with the snow.
I was up north this weekend and driving on old snowmobile trails. Driving along and them just sink up to the frame if you go on the wrong side. Back up and try again. But i was with people so no worries.

My next purchases are gears and then a winch/bumper

 

Have to stay on the side that is shaded the most

 

When you go out to the Rockies check out this place about an hour West of Jasper,thinking about doing it when I come out next year.One of the highest roads in Canada ,,,
52.705908° N, 119.166309° W Check it on google earth,

 

Will do, Jasper is less than 3 hours away, so it’s easy to travel for me.

Did a short hike to Whistlers Peak yesterday and completed Icefields HWY.

The Broverland trip is complete, back to regular schedule.






Bonus:

@TeecoTaco think you can beat that?

 

With turbocharging allowed... and E85 fuel. The rules keep power levels down by mandating an intake air restrictor.

Due to sponsored parts and services, some of the FSAE cars are better built than F1 cars from 15 years ago. The rulebook also allows some tech that is illegal in F1, like wings and undertray mounted directly to the spindles, bypassing the suspension:



ETS' decoupled roll/pitch suspension a la AMG Project One:
