Hard to say - I need to see the jump from the driver's seat to make any sort of call.

A camera view won't do squat for me being able to make any sort of call. *I need to see/feel/experience the jump in person. *There are all sorts of little nuances that won't show up on video.

Default Re: I96 speedway off road

Hand got taken out at the race last weekend. *Big rocks and lack of power steering or a damper hurt. *Video's being processed as I type.

Hernia's been around for a while. *Bought a bow flex to get in shape after breaking my leg and don't ya know, I pissed off my groin. *Seems I can't win right now. *[smilie=banghead.gif]

Now I'm thinking I should go ahead and get my two piece collarbone (happened when I broke my leg) fixed in a couple weeks. *It doesn't bother me much, but I do feel it every now and then.

I should get everything fixed before the summer hits in full swing.

I wish I had a 25 year old body again! *Getting old sucks - at least from a physical standpoint!

you wont regret the coller bone fix, I got a nice 8" scare for mine, it was nearly 1.5 yrs before all the feeling came back, kinda wierd, they cut a lot of nerves getting to it....The problem is, that piece of steel can do some major damage the next time you break it, I did not have mine taken out, doc said it could come out but not for 1 yr....Took 3 months for it to heel enuff for me to go back to work tho...

I didn't have a camera person, so the video here is stationary of just a couple of jumps. I wanted to check some suspension tuning I've been doing. It's not much, but I thought Bugpac would want to see it.
