I like it, did they say if there was a little bit more shut down area than Prairie Du Rocher that wall came up quick.

Thanks RJ. They really wanted three jumps on a 12 foot wide pit. We would get crazy upside down. Can you imagine landing with two tires on the out of bounds(side) and two down in the hole. We'd have multiple cart wheels. Then they wanted a lot of water for splashy,splashy like two feet. They were considering digging three feet and putting three jumps with two feet of water. And they don't want anyone stuck!!  But THE FAIRBOARD GUY IS VERY willing to build a pit that will try and work for the racers and make the crowd happy. So that's what I backed them down to for now. Also they wanted the jump toward the end. Can you imagine a 45 mph 8 foot high jump? I bet we would beat the med-a-vac helicopter to the scene of the crash by at least 15 minutes!! Then they would shut down the race and it would be ugly. I have all my parts coming and have a great set oF springs and a very solid plan that will take another 1/10 off the Bombs time on a drag race when we put it back together. But.... In this bog PIT OUR CHANGES won't mean squat!  Do we plan on going down in one vehicle? Staying one night? it doesn't start till late so it will be cold for sure. And late so a Saturday night stay might not be a bad thing. Plus we'll have to wait for the banks to open the next day to make a deposit cause we sure don't want to travel with that much winnings!!

Shut down is not good. They said there is another wall but if you go just slightly to the left of straight after the finish line there is a pile of gravel that looks like it will ramp you up into the grand stands!! No..not really. If you go left there is suppose to be big shut down, if you go right there is still more than Rocher. |
