It goes down when I go faster....


Here's a vid of everyone starting. I'm at 7:20. Unfortunately, I thought I brought my camera, but couldn't find it... so no in-car from me this time.

It's the front of a neon SRT-4 in the back of a modified frame.

The WRX was John Rademacher.

Did the trunk come up under hard braking for turn 19? I cut one of the last corners and had my hood pop up as a result. Probably the first time I was genuinely proud/excited of the hood latch design

Wow another wacky Dennis-mobile. Doesn't look like he shifts, I guess it would be easier to but something like that together with a auto trans. Pretty cool, Daryl Carl has something like that with a 9k engine and subframe in the back.... not sure it it ever really got finished enough to race.

2:14 is where I rolled in 03, still makes my balls hurt a little so see that corner.

I can think of better things to stick an srt-4 into.

Wow, that SRT-4 thing is certainly wacky. The guy that built the chassis is no engineer, that is for sure. o_O

Not sure about the transmission- there is a vidoe of it on youtube on a dyno, and it looks like it has a manual trans.

Swedesport, that wagon is pretty f'n baller.
