26-9 Baja Bash pic post (with in-car video)!

Baja Wes · 2004-09-26T08:54:13+00:00

only one slight prob, I don't have pics, yet. am working on it. So I went out to my first baja. The exhaust flange I ordered didn't come in, so I didn't have an open exhaust. My first run out I took Brendan in the car, so he could show me where the hell to go 🙂 It is quite a maze at first! I soon figured it two things. It's rough, and it's tight. I didn't get out of first gear! (partly due to a 8,000rpm redline I don't really have to get out of first). Well actually I did get out of first, but it was crossing the finish line. It's a very cool little track, and congrats to the guys for all the work put into it. Unfortunately it's not my style. I was hoping for something more open, something I could use 2nd gear and do some good slides! 2nd gear is my fun gear. 1st is too overpowered and I just get lots of understeer and body roll in first 🙁 It's the sorta track that you want to trailer a paddock basher to. Then you can have some fun. Anyway, better get back to grabbing some pics from my video camera. [Edited on 27-9-2004 by Baja Wes]

I agree too. If I don't want to go fast, I don't. I do whatever makes me happy. Do what you want with your car, it's your car.

Anyway, you've probably noticed I have cleaned up this thread, tried to keep it to the buggy bash only, no off topic stuff.
