Yeah, they didn't leave the key in the ignition when being towed.

Focus is maybe 3 inches. FD is about 45 degrees and the FE was about 4 inches IIRC.

Mike, I'd leave the keys in! Though when you're dealing with something like that, it's easy to overlook what you would think in common sense.

i think under any other situation one would do so but these guys i dont know just had a brain fart or something!!!! the cost of the repair is one thing. but there is a huge difference paying for a repair for something soooo uneventful and a reck during a race!!!!!

We both are lol! Mike says I attack them the same way, but I get uneasy going from a fast sweeping right to a quick transition/90+degree left. My spool is sick in 3rd at about 4K up, which is where I'm usually at. Depending on my mood, I'll use 4th because I don't know the *exact* limits of my car yet.

Even Teddy was like "Damn dude, this bitch pulls!"

Edit to add: Riding with him was a thrill, but we both were like "oh shiiiiiiiit!" in most of the same turns.

I can't believe that I had the courage to ride with you. That whole looking over the side, while ripping through the turn is a whole other experience. I usually don't notice/care about that when I'm driving.

I think what it is about a lot of those left hand turns up there is the transition from shade to sunlight that blinds you. You're left with half a second of blindness...

Jen i have never been a fan of lefty @ all. for some retarded reason they have always been uncomfortable and feel more challenging and more respected then the righties.
Archie's loads up big time on them. I how ever love entering it super hot(righties) and pull hard out and wait for the quick transition to left.
I guess the less body roll your car produces(under certain condition), this is pure porno for me!!!!!!!

idk its weird i tend to feel more body roll going to the right......left turns not so much....i honestly think my think with left turns is that im then on the inside of the turn and it doesnt feel as awkward to me that way...

and archies i remembered i am goofy footed. not left handed but.....
