muscle cars have bigger worries than rally cars Options

Short video clip from Speed. It's a couple of minutes long, so dialup users, be prepared to take a nap.

I caught that earlier.... I won't spoil it with the joke I was going to say :-) . We need to add spoiler tags to the forum (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Makes sense to me. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I want some passengers like that!

Seat belts? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I won't even ask for helmets.....

I think everyone was testing Darwin's theory of natural selection for that one.

It's ok, it's for TV. Laws, rules, physics, and common sense don't apply.

I love how they test a minivan against 40 year old technology.
And I want to know where that gentleman's club is in topeka LOL

How so? The passengers weren't even in the Honda minivan during the autocross runs.

I'm people who know people.

They made it look like the chicks were in the van then. However you look at it it's a pretty sorry clip for implying it, especially when you can see the guy driving the daytona is wearing a helmet.

The one with the Mutsu hat is Kelley, Jason Tripple's wife.

The last issue of Grassroots Motorsports said they would be doing this "test". People think muscle cars are fast because they have a lot of torque. 2 weeks ago I was riding with a friend in his Kia sprectre and we saw a 55 T'bird. He said wow that thing must be fast, then I told him that I could kill that thing around an autocross course in his Kia. He looked at me funny and didn't believe me. I should send this to him.

Gentleman's clubs in the mid west are as common as convenience stores here in the East. Kind of sad actually.

I hope those who are going spastic over the video realize that on a regular TV screen, it's obvious there is no one in the back of the minivan while it's on course, and the scenery from the in-van shoots clearly does not match the scenery of the Nourth Course.

As if four "entertainers" from the Kansas City/Topeka area would be stupid enough to actually autocross without seatbelts and helmets.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

I couldn't see very well, but it struck me as odd that they'd imply it.

And, I can't say much, I was 3/4 of the way through my first run in Memphis when I realized the funny banging noise I heard was my helmet rolling around in the back seat, slamming into the side panels. Somehow, I forgot to put it on and the starter waved me off without noticing either. I guess Brian Burdette was working the course and radioed in and said "Uh, guys, don't we need helmets for this event?" As I pulled into the staging area, my cell phone rang, it was my co driver who was working the course. I simply answered "Yea, I'm putting it on".

Maybe that's why it struck a cord with me..... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I think it's in the last issue of GRM, Where GRM or SCCA has been trying to get the show to put helmet's on, but they won't do it (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I saw this in person at the '04 nationals. I think Howard Duncan was driving both cars. I also think he was affraid of the Daytona, or atleast afraid a spinning it. It didn't seem like he pushed it very hard. I remember thinking that I could beat the minivan in the Daytona. And no, the mini van did not have passengers while on course.

I would hope the SCCA would say something considering Speed included a shot of the front of the SCCA headquarters.

I've gotten to the start line once and forgot, luckly the starter reminded me. At a ProSolo once I forgot to take my airtank out of the trunk, as soon as I launched I knew what was banging around in the back.
