Crap Music...

[griz11]

@killerbee11111111 I learned a long time ago you can't try and please everyone with the music or you'd never get a video done. Its San Antonio for christ's sake dude.

DO A BARREL ROLL

@MrGrapebook not much left of them. I haven't seen a 100mph crash but I did crash mine at about 80 one afternoon and it came back to me in a bucket :)

Lmao notice the fastest car in Texas is a nitro! Electrics don't have the torque that a nitro has.

@griz11 but yeh i race on the oval track over there

[griz11]

@griz11 And we never found the wheelie bar. There was a concrete cover over a big sewer or something at the end of the track in the left lane. The track actually curved just a bit at that point and it was far enough from the traps you were usually slowed down. However my throttle stuck one time and the car buried itself under that concrete cap dug a big hole and basicall exploded. Tiny pieces everywhere. I think it was 78mph when it went through the traps and was still accelerating.

@MrGrapebook In the video I did from Lampassas there is a black rail that crashes into a cone at the top of the track. The traps said 103 when he went past. And he'd been running over 100 all day. We all call him crash. Hardly ever makes the finals but his cars are the fastest thing out there most of the time. He's a crazy guy :)

@ojoj626 They were but I think they moved. They have a website in Houston but I'm not sure what the URL is. The track in San Antonio is back up and running however.

[griz11]

@griz11 If you will notice the guys with the rails always picking up the back ends off the track. That isn't just to clear out the nitros. If you let them sit there too long they will stick to the track and cause a studder coming off the line. It can cost you the race. You take a plastic bag to put your shoes in too. They aren't worth much for anything else after a day at the track :)
