That was cool. The voiceover with "the cops are coming" bit is silly.

Also, awesome to see a monster truck out in the wild. I bet it would be fun to drive one outside like that.

quote:

BELLEVUE, Wash. -- A pair of wannabe stunt drivers video taping their own reckless driving to post on YouTube ended up with a trip to jail instead of Internet fame.

In the video, the two men are trying to record themselves 'drifting,' by making a series of hard, fast turns in which the rear of the car slides through a curve.

Their biggest mistake, though, was recording the video early Monday in an empty parking lot right next to the State Patrol office in Bellevue.

1:39...

I think 'maybe' more-or-less means 'unsure treat with care'. eg '80, flat left, maybe' would be a flat out left-hander in 80 (distance units) but go into it slower and power out if possible.

It's probably because they didn't do a complete recce and are using notes supplied from different sources. I could be completely wrong though.

I always thought "maybe" was used with changing conditions, i.e. "slippy maybe" == when we made these notes this area didn't have the best traction, but it might be better now!

But we should probably wait for someone like Kaptainballistik or Cat Terrist to chime in

Its Just what I Do

Old note systems used "Slow , medium ,medium fast,Fast,flat" or 1-6 where 3 is a tight 90 deg corner. Newer systems pack 3-10 in the old 3-6 space.

"Maybee " means to take it slightly cautious ) Slippery in recee or the like. Its not used these days because its a negative comment and makes you back off.

In Ari's case its probably "Youre gona take it flat, Just get your'e talent ready to figure it out!!!!!"

I dunno, maybe they wanted to get the strap tensioned before they started pulling, so that it didn't jolt something loose. Of course, fat lot of good that did...

"He says he's going to be number one!"

In that video, the nod has to go the the V12. I felt every single hair along my spine stand up in time with the revs...

Now, if the audio clip of the V16 had been a little better, I'd have gone with that, because goddamn do they make a cool noise. I'm pretty sure that these are Type Cs, which would mean they all have V16s, rather than the super rare Type D (two exist?). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myxMudtFX6g&NR=1

Too bad the drivers aren't kitted up like this strapping young lad.

That was some really impressive driving. I am sure if I was even doing 1/10 the speed, I would have wrecked into the wall a dozen times. But, that's why he is the race driver, and not me.

From the title, I thought it was meant in the vein of "if he hadn't drifted his car, he would have died."
