2018 MCO Ice Racing

[Pete]

Yup. Grants car (Nigel driving) was stuck in the bank about 50 feet up the track. I was thinking I could go over him instead of around him. Didn't work.

Ah, so it was Nigel driving the Outback like a maniac and often ending up in pitlane to get out of corner 1...

Was fun watching you guys swing it around.

Yeah but to be fair I think Grant spun it around right there too. Probably just to make Nigel feel better about it.

Lol, Agenda item 3 for Monday mornings team meeting.

seriously though, you failed to mention that if you get within 2 feet of the banks, they jump out and get you. Fucker came out of nowhere.

That off line slurry is no joke. When I went out at the end in the green beast, it was 3' deep in spots... Especially at pit out.

[Scruffy]

Pulling cars out was a blast!

You did great!

BTW, did you leave my gloves in the Jeep? Forgot to look for them before I left last night.

Yup, they kept sliding off the center console into the back. Sorry!

No worries, that's perfect. I'll grab'em the next time I'm out there.

Someone got alot of fun driving the 22, I wonder if Grant needed a barf bag in there

Nigel was a mad man out there. So awesome. I couldn’t believe the traction he kept finding after coming into each corner way fast than felt right.

I couldn’t tell that was you...it’s weird seeing a car at that angle. It’s unnatural.

I lost it trying to run the Nigel line and threw it into reverse to complete the 360. The car didn’t like that and got stuck in reverse so I just plowed into the bank. Some aggressive jerking by a Victoria got the drivetrain shifted enough to pull it out of reverse then we were racing again.

Once we got the car running the day was awesome. The track got better as the day went on and I was amazed there was so little contact. I only went through one corner against another car and luckily it was Tyler in the wolf mobile. I knew he’d be cool with it

So much fun.

So it was you that hit us!

Shortly after that contact our clutch fell apart...

Grant owes us a clutch.

Bring it to your closest Mr. Lube.

Hmmmph. Broke her good

Thanks to Harv and Merivale high school for putting in some wrench time on wolfpack-mobile

[tellum]

Grant!

[1Morelap]

it's f.. ukd

that class looks so sad. I'm sure they can rebuild her

[Scruffy]

Will they be putting in a shiny new one?

BTW, +1 for supporting high school auto shop classes. We got to tear down an oval endurance car once, but not enough people use HS services. Cheap labour and good learning experience.

If you look closely you can see the exact correlation between grant’s car hitting us, and the clutch exploding.

Science.

[Careener]

Does anyone have pics/vid they can share of the actual race?

Strange how that works. I had to ask my co-driver to straighten out the side view mirror. Your clutch exploded. All of the impact energy must have transferred into your transmission...directly through its wimp-bone
