Dragstrip v. Road Course

It takes 10,000 hours to get good at anything worth doing.

According to you…and what if you still suck after 10,000 hours?

west doesn’t do anything he’s not good at (which is nothing), so it’s a logical non-issue. See how many negatives I put in there 8)

Everything he doesn’t try is dumb or will soon be made obsolete by Tesla and/or the internet.

This guy gets me.

I suggest you stick to Xbox.

That’s better for me. At 6’5" karting is a no go

Here’s an idea… How about we race our frigging audis?

Oh that’s right… West West only has 9000 hrs on his so it’s not fair.

I’m probably not the worst driver at 1/4 mile:

You’re way off on the XBOX thing…

It wasn’t the driver, it was the setup. They probably got the chute right but big HP + huge rear wing, no wheelie bar, light front end.

He couldn’t have been going faster than 85 when he flipped. A wing doesn’t make meaningful downforce until your speeds approach and exceed 130 MPH. This was a horsepower induced problem. Probably not the best chassis to choose for 1000 HP.

Here’s the same car…it was going faster than 85 when it flipped.

Either way, the driver wasn’t at fault…he was just along for the ride at that point.

West, I’m with Cory on this one… I think he was a few ticks over 85.

it was 3 seconds from the start. Can’t see him going over 80. What’d it trap in the 1/4 mile when it didn’t crash?

edit just watched. 6.95@ 360 kmh is 223 MPH

so his 1/8 would hvae been about 4.5 @ 175 so he was probably around 120-140 at 3.5

It sure did float away nicely.

4.8@160. 1/8 mile
6.85@225 1/4 mile

With the timing of his speed being relative to tenths of seconds it really is hard to determine the mph. Based on his linked 1/8th and 1/4 mile trap speeds that car is accelerating at an approximate 33 mph per second. At 3 seconds he’s 99 mph.

He came out without a scratch according to a daily article:

Are you sure this isn’t in km/h, given the country it is filmed in? They wouldn’t display MPH.

He finishes the 1/8th @ 257 kmh and 1/4 at 362 kmh

So westwest is wrong…literally ALWAYS

Yes, I converted them to mph for the U.S. readers :slight_smile:
