A challenge for Dan Lund and others

[Jared]

I saw this on another forum and thought it would be fun to post here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt28gpI-RkE

[caper]

you're going to scrape hard with the nomad?

[cnc]

Utah, Neat.
Caper, I think you lead us on sharper turns on the Cabot Trail! http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

I wish I had seen that earlier.

I had the day off and it was 55 degrees. It snowed yesterday, and is supposed to snow tomorrow :(

It looks like a fun friendly competition.

http://s2.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif That looks like a lot of fun. But serously, will the Nomad turn that sharp? Otherwise it looks like a good exercise for drifting! http://s2.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif

If a Harley can do it, so can I!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt8qSoTVCy4 ::)

Looks like he has his left turn drifting down...

I suppose the pipes may drag on a right turn?

That would make this slolam all the more fun then wouldn't it? Left-Turns Only! lol.

That harley did do 1 right turn, but I imagine you're right about the issue of pipe clearance.

[skeeter]

Did you notice the full length crash bars on the Harley? That must help some.

I was all pumped to go and film this today and try to get a good time through it. I couldn't do it without going over the lines.

I can do a 360 degree circle inside the lines, so I thought I could do this also. At first I was about a foot over the line, then got it down to just over the line. His rules are not touching the line. I was bummed because I could chop almost 4 seconds off his time.

To do a 360, you are leaned over the whole time. To do this exercise you start vertical, and end vertical at some point on each one. It takes up space getting from vertical to leaned. Being able to do a 360 in between two spaces is easier than what he was doing. That was a surprise.

I can't play along, couldn't do it on a Nomad. :(

If you can't do it, than it can't be done!

Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell, no!

...just find some wider parking spaces, like maybe at a truck stop.

Haha, like a Cracker Barrel restaurant with the Motor-home spaces? http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif Or a Wal-Mart with a mile of handicap spaces!

What ever you do, post videos for us. I'm still dying to try it as soon as the rain clears out. At the rate we've been seeing that may be next June . . . :-[

Or maybe find an old 30 year old lot that has never been re-striped.

Remember before zoning requirements that specified a certain number of stalls for a building? Back then there were bigger stalls, and then everyone figured out that the easiest way to fill the requirement was to get smaller stalls. Now the small stalls are standard, and the old lots have been re-striped over the years to the new standard.

If any of you can do this exercise, be sure to post it and then I'll know to go try more, but I came down just over the line.
