Talk about driver error...

This came off of another message board where they referred to the guy as "autocrossing." What a bunch of n00bz.

so.. Open tracking is now autocross?

and it was the hill that did him in.... He wasnt ready for the loss of traction you allways get at the crest of a hill. He had the car at its cornering limits at the base of the hill/turn (where you get extra traction because the suspension compresses), and when he crested the hill and lost most of that traction..... Game over.

Its acutally qite common for a fuel injectecd car to not want to turn over after a spin. Not totally sure why, but its pretty common. Ushually you just have to wait for every thing to re-set its self and then it will start.

^You think FI is finicky? Try restarting with 2 SIDEDRAFT carbs on a 72 datsun after a spin.

Starter fluid owns. I'll have to get a pic up eventually, there's bound to be someone that appreciates a true sportscar. Any datsuns racing in your region? I've read about many in socal and arizona, but not vegas.

Sweetness. The V-8 swaps lose all the high-revving sportiness in a street setup IMO, but the torque must be nice. Love the hood venting! I live 15 minutes away from one of the big datsun suppliers, Motorsport Auto, I see all kinds of wicked stuff.
