Heh, just checked out Google Maps and the remains of the approach section of the ramp still seem to be visible, but it also appears that the ramp and artificial hill itself have been leveled again.

Oh my loving god, I have no idea why that looks so much easier on a bike, probably because you have so much more room to maneuver around.

Leaks from a private test at the Milan Dragway are claiming that the 6 speed does 10.9 1/4 miles and the auto is even faster. While there are no numbers yet, I'm sure they will be high, and it wouldn't surprise me if the Hellcat could pull off a hero lap despite its two ton weight.

Pre '66 FIA historic racing means Dunlop Racing crossply tyres, which equals huge slip angles when driven hard compared to modern rubber.

You don't need style when you've got strength!


In old high power Porsches like that the steering you do with the front set of wheels is merely a suggestion. Most of the steering is done with your right foot and if you hesitate or lift...well you die. I've driven a few in the rain on the track and it is an amazing experience, even with the best new rain tires money can buy you know the car wants to go around the corner backwards.

Damnit now I want an old 911 track rat again.

Colleague of mine showed me this video because he went racing at this event and met the driver of the Porsche. Explained that the historic rubber is the fun factor.

To be fair to those two (and Farm Truck, by default), they were in Hot Rod magazine long before the show was created. The first I ever saw of the Murder Nova was when it puked on the line on the first pass of the first day of Hot Rod Drag Week '08. Some of those guys have been famous in the heads-up/street race/fastest street car scene for years. As a matter of fact, the king of Drag Week, Larry Larson, was on an episode.

The TV show is kinda meh, but the cars are the real deal and a lot of the guys are legit, honest to god cool car dudes.

For some content, Dodge and Richard Rawlings hit the track with a Hellcat, and post some crazy rear end numbers. gently caress you, Shelby.

I stopped watching Top Gear a while ago and have never seen a full episode of Top Gear US, but every time I've seen something about Rutledge, he comes off as the Real Deal. I got fed up with the fiction that Top Gear would fabricate for every little thing. That isn't to say that Roadkill doesn't fabricate some drama or take liberties with editing; however, non-fiction is endlessly more interesting than fiction.

Roadkill is the best.

Thank you, AI.
