They sprayed the whole track with a urethane style sealant the day before this track event.

Couldnt even drive 7/10's....

pahrump redline track event video
(right click save as please)

and those clips were taken from only 2 sessions.. there was plenty more.

On top of that a Lotus Elise burned COMPLETELY down on track, another car puked oil all over track.. down for hours.

Not Redline's fault, just bad luck.

It was great to see all you EVO heads out there though!!

Wow, looks like a slip and slide
It also looks like you were having fun

Sorry to hear about the elise.

 

lol....

a lot of those people look like they've never heard of the two feet in philosophy....espeically that first porsche that spun.

 

the zhit would cake on... then get cold and large chunks would fly off the cars.. it was crazy.

if parked for a while the stuff would get cold on tires, so when you would move, it made cracking sounds in the ground. You could literally feel the tires wanting to not move. After 4 sessions it took the tires over... no grip left at all, had to go home.

I am not exauggurating when I say I have 4-5 pounds worth of crap stuck on my wheels, exhaust, etc to clean off tomorrow.

Some of those drivers are very good, they are local yocals like me.. it was just very, very slippery out there.

I was about 6 seconds off my regular pace.

You should have to pay extra for that sort of fun! Great video, it was like a season long highlight tape

 

nils,

that was some crazy $h1t today!

thanks for showing me the new track and the gravel run off at the end of the sweeper! i was kinda scared when you started pushing the car with the condition of the track. i'm still amazed how the evo handles on the track. need to sell my sti so i can get robispec'd!

ha ha!

it was like a rain practice, without the rain.... honestly, the only thing I am pissed about is having to clean up the car, I know it will be a nightmare.

Ed,
no problem... hey, now I know that AWD helps everyone out at the track, imagine if they would have to tow us out of that pit.

You'll love the Robispec.

n

 

lol, thats some fun stuff.

I'm amazed how quick it came around at the end of the vid though.

good clips.

 

wow looks like you guys had sooooo much fun!

 

Turn one coming right out of the hot pits, I was only going about 40-50mph when the car went on me.

combination of cold tires and that sealant did it.

to put things in perspective, I usually take that turn at twice the speed and have never went off there in 2 years.

n

 

and I tried to scrub that shnit off my tires all the way home from the track... imagine what they looked like on track!!

n

 

yeah when the car does go round it is there now isn't it?

 

What kind of lap times do you get normally on this track?

 

The event before this one I was doing consistant 2:42's and a couple of 2:41's towards the end of the day.
