kingmick Forums Junkie Banned by his request Location: moved to tamworth Registered: July 2002	Re: stupid car things you have seen Fri, 29 July 2005 02:32 ok this one is what happened to me a couple years ago at a V8 supercar round at sandown raceway. get to the race meeting and first practice in the national sport sedans,the new triple plate clutch needs fixing.fix it at about 6pm so most people have gone as its the thursday of the weekend race meeting.so i crank the engine into life{noisy as its a 650hp chev} and let it warm up. look around as the guys in my crew push the car back,no ones about so i decide to properly test the clutch in the back pits.full noise first,second,third and into fourth{all no clutch as its a hollinger dog box},buy this time im going very very quick.the car weights 1125kg,and i had left the guards and windscreen off for the rest of the work.well being half tared pit road and half gravel,i start getting pelted by high speed gravel.fuck me close to 200km/h in a narrow pit road cant see and there is a fence at the end.ducked my head as i hit the brakes{12 spot brembos} and as im not wearing harness im holding on as i go down the gears. well stopped about 2 feet from the fence,and was bleeding abit from cuts on my face.but the clutch worked perfect. then on the sunday after the last race, i was driving it back from the weight bridge to the transporter.as you imagine getting a car with 650hp,massive hot slicks and a triple plate clutch of the line is a bit of a juggle to do with hundreds of people walking around you.give it a big blast so i can get tire slip and the fucking throttle jams full open. brakes,kill switch and near heart failure,i pull up right before some very wide eyed people. what a weekend of racing!lmao goes to show pits can be dangerous places. mick [Report message to a moderator]
