Flame Broiled For Your Pleasure, v2.0
Afterfire is STILL one of my favorite things about a tuned vehicle.
Amazing that a bit of unburned fuel exiting an unrestricted pipe could bring me so much joy...

When it doubt, add more fuel!
Extra Crispy; or Why Nomex is Your Friend
Please don't misunderstand me. I'm not a carnage freak, promoting vicious crash vids like a psychotic maniac. I just love anything that illustrates how dangerous racing can be, especially if it has a happy ending. Live life; taste death, I always say.
What IS amazing is that these otherwise horrific crashes and fires would be life ending if it wasn't for well-constructed cages, fuel cells, NOMEX, and of course skilled corner workers.
Next time your on the track, wave a "thank you" to your corner workers. They truly are the unsung heroes of our beloved sport.

These guys really enjoy their Quattro's. What to do on a cold day when you sport a boosted Audi? Why not hang out at the nearest 4 wheel dyno with your family and drink coffee? Obviously it looks a lot cooler when you can edit that day and add some good music...

These guys are HARD CORE! Great cars, great video!
Oh, and in case you needed it (I did), here's a nifty HP - PS converter (plus some other goodies).
Just a friendly reminder:
After your driveway thaws out, and you decide to take one of your toys out for a drive; don't forget how the simple pleasure of your neighborhood underpass can make you remember why you bothered in the first place to tune your cars...
Enjoy!!!
