Here is the video from the 24 hours of Lemons race where I T-bone the crap out of the crown vic. (at the end)

Awesome video, Oleg. Looks like it's a lot of fun (I'm jealeous)...you got some serious racing maneuvers man. Again, congrats on the win!

T-bonning the crown vic is not your fault, he clearly cut in early in front of you.

Actually I think Oleg was at more fault, the crown vic was in front of him. Don't feel bad Oleg, I did the exact same thing in Florida. I was following a similar car (may have been a crown vic too). I was faster in the corners but he could pull on the straights. I followed him for about 4 laps and then tried to out late brake and then take the inside pass. He closed in (just the crown vic in your video) and I ended up dripping 2 wheel off on the inside and somehow just missed smacking him.


Lessen learned. Late inside passes only work if the car in front is REALLY slow (or cooperative).



Video looks good Oleg, looking forward to running with you at SPR this summer.

Thanks guys! I agree that me hitting the crown vic was my fault. He was in front...he could have let me through, but he didnt. The best part that I got to experience all that in a cheap car and there was no hard feelings at all! I end up going over to their parking area and talking to the guys....they were all very friendly. In a matter of fact, I ended up helping to fix our main competitors' car on sat night..just so they can brake down again on sunday

We have some crazy plans for the stanza that involves fabricating custom suspension for it to be able to use some cheap coilovers
Can you imagine a minivan outhandling most of the cars on that track?! that would be epic!

Lesson learned indeed!

I have learned so much driving the Stanza! It is most wonderful that driving a slow car fast teaches you a lot more that .....well...driving a fast car fast

I was able to push it all the way to and past it's limits and play around with trailbraking and lift throttle steering and not being scared to crash the car and pay crazy money to fix it. On top of that, the limits are a lot lower and this car that on the s2000, and so if you make a mistake in s2000, it will bite you in the ass, whereas here....I actually still concentrated enough to analize what happened and learn from it right away.

Your getting it!
