That was awesome. It almost makes me want to oremover the passengers side mirror, and put back in my delete panel. Great find. I was watching and yelled out "NOOooooooooo" when the blue one hit the black one. My wife looked @ me like this but with more of a blackitude. (I must have interupted her recording of HOUSE. Shes a big Hugh Laurie (sp?) fan.)
Honda, because it's hard to look baller in your mom's Volvo.
The entire tool selection at Sears or the contents of a Snap-On truck will do you no good if you do not know how to use them.

Man that was sweet. Those spots where they over shoot the corners was great! Bumping n Banging always fun to watch!

Was it just me or did anyone else notice the lack of inside rear wheel lift. I saw no daylight between the inside rear tire and the pavement through the corners on any of the cars. Hmmm, why not? Special suspension set-up? "Correct" suspension set-up?
What am I missing here?
Perhaps it's there, I just didn't look close enough.

If I had to guess, I would say a combination of a spec Michelin tire that maybe wasn't too grippy or very wide, and a near stock suspension with lots of body roll.
The shocks looked pretty soft too, based on how the cars bounced around. I seem to recall that when I raced my 84DX CRX in Showroom Stock back in the mid/late 80's that it would lean pretty far without lifting a wheel. Not like the VW's from that era.

You are missing the stock suspension.
To me it looked like all the cars had stock suspension, short of maybe the struts. If I had to guess, I'd guess that it's a mostly stock class.
