i vote mitsu gets a new driver next year. this guy was scared of the jump cuz he wrecked last year

 

If you're scared say you're scared!!! If I was in his situation I would have made sure I was going faster than necessary just to ensure that I made it over this time.

 

The Wing did not survive...

 

sad day today i bet nasioc is having a party.

 

can i try?

/gawd, how i wish i was a trust fund baby - i would use my funds well!

 

Damn, that sucked. He was doing really well until the jump too. Ah well atleast he and his co-driver were ok. The evo on the other hand...

 

what a choke....wtf he dident build any speed.... nothing! what a disappointment !

 

maybe that wing will be for sale?

I thought that wing was AWESOME! It was like a Supra style wing for a Honda

 

it musta been even more embarrasing haveing his girlfriend next to him lol

 

Just my persepctive --

If anyone had seen the practice from X games 13 they would understand why he is cautious of the jump.

Last year in practice he landed 1/2 way down the jump and almost rolled it - the acar was in really bad shape (front end damage)... it was very similar to how Ramana rolled his car in the same practice session.

So - last yeat the first round of qualifying he landed the jump perfect, I mean 100% perfect... the next round that was on TV... not so perfect!

Fast forward to this year.

He did not practice the jump mainly because he did not want to ruin the nice NOS wrap on the car in case he landed long again, and I am very sure he did not want to spend three days before X rebuilding the car.

So - there was about a 2 MPH window he had to hit, go over this and you land on the front end and the car flips violently - go under and you case the jump and the car rolls over as it did this year.

There was nothing "wrong" with the way he drove, or the preperation of the car - it simply means Mitsubishi's cannot fly well, to damn front heavy (Last year X games 13 we had 200 lbs of balast in the trunk)....

Hope this helps,

Too bad either way. And for all the armchair quarterbacks, I think 99% of you would be pissing your pants about hitting a jump like that. That's a huge gap. I don't fault the guy at all for being a bit nervous about it.
