Default Formula D - NJ

Bill and the XAT Racing Bandit made another Top 16 this weekend in Formula D round - 6 NJ.

Awesome job overcoming some last minute tuning and transportation issues.

Huge thanks to MikeSpeed for helping us get the car to NJ and putting up with Bill for that long.

damn the mustang just looks so big next to the 240 haha, it looks like it would swallow it whole. glad to see Bill making it into another top 16 this year. Too bad about your troubles, i think you could had a decent shot of beating JR... gotta try to brake check him into a mistake .

if he gets close to you and you slow up, he might tap brakes and spin or have steer straight as to not hit you...

you should know this because i remember watching the camino slow mid turn of entry into Houston last season and caused havoc...

there is also the issue that you have less inertia and can slow down faster than him so you should have the op to brake check him if he is close enough, otherwise, yes his trq will screw up your attempt.

there is always a weakness

1st off we have these things called judges, which consist of alex pfiefer, and andy yen. they will catch that shit. besides if you are at a point skill wise where if you tap the brakes and spin or go into understeer you arent gonna make it to next round anyways.

when i was following yes, car had no ebrake, or clutch, and that was my 3rd time ever doing tandem. heres the illustrated version

1st off thats just lame. lametown. gay. rabbits. gay. 2nd off the judges woudl catch that, and after other person hits you and they watch the video, they will move on.

when your playing shady of course there is a weakness. thats what judges are for.
