I know folks who think I'm crazy just to like racing. But this video made certain appendages crawl waaayy up inside. Tell this guy to have a nice day.

Wouldn't put this cat in anything faster than a Mazda 3 in a New Drivers School... And he'd be on a very short leash. What an idiot.

Re: The official Post a Fun YouTube Video thread..
Oh... Pretty much everything with this guy... Just cheaper to replace a Mazda 3 than an M3 or Lexus IS-F, and the New Driver School wouldn't let a numb nuts like this display his shortcomings on a race track.

I believe it's full liability unless you take the insurance and then it's whatever the deductible is on the insurance... a few hundred dollars.

You may be on to a really economic way to follow the action during the 2013 New Jersey F1 race.

All that assuming he can find someone dumb enough to sell him another car. No. Wait. It's about profit. Sell him two.

Re: The official Post a Fun YouTube Video thread..
Absolutely jaw dropping. Don't follow r/c planes closely but have never seen anything live or on video approaching this level before. Great stuff! Thanks Doug.

Never mind the tax assessor (where this should be an annual occurrence), I know a debt "super-committee" somewhere that could have used Hakkul's form of "motivation."
In other news, the holiday season can be a lonely time for some...

Looks like you've adopted an affective natural strategy for getting and holding attention at the next advisory council meeting!

Must have been big fun pulling that one off.
Wonder how close to stall speed those jets were to allow that guy to run with 'em?
Was kind of surprised he maneuvered near the back of the jets as he wouldn't want to be anywhere near the backwash of those jet engines.
Quite a stunt though.

For a laugh...a friend posted this on FB and some replied with outrage "how could a parent give a child such a device!" etc.
I hope those commenters chose not to reproduce ____
Re: The official Post a Fun YouTube Video thread..
Probably my greatest lap on iRacing around Lime Rock Park... Side by side during the whole lap in this understeery truck that is the FR500S Mustang... A friend pushed me to join a race without qualifying, so I started from the back 8th actually, but bad start (rolling) got me in 11th at the first corner...). Managed to come back and with only 2 laps left in 6th working for 5th position, I got to someone who definitly was not willing to give up his spot
Tons of fun
