^^^ Agreed!

jschrauwen · 04-02-2008, 07:20 PM

Now a pic from the pit area would speak volumes. All you could see was a small portion of the rear corner. It looked like it was verticle.

**malman2100** · 04-02-2008, 09:43 PM

That crash seemed like it lasted forever. Tires screaching for the longest time before he plowed into that tire barrier. Good thing he hit the tree......

Don_Fanucci · 04-03-2008, 12:10 AM

Hey, its salvagable!!! at least that what id be saying as i drove by the SCENE! If only you could buy skill (or common sense) NOOB POWER!! pfft

**malman2100** · 04-03-2008, 12:57 AM

Gotta give the guy credit. He got his bearings back, ripped his front bumper off, and later in the day went back out on the track. Didnt let it ruin his whole weekend. Even won one of the bigger prizes that was given away.

That's true. He went back out on the track and stuck out the whole weekend and ended up taking home a new lightweight flywheel when it was all said and done. He was lucky with that accident that it didn't damage his car anymore than it did and he was able to laugh it off and move on.

exibit B!!! HAHAH hes winning!

Damn right I'm winning!

jschrauwen · 04-03-2008, 03:30 PM

Just a little off topic here.
I saw a bunch of you guys wearing these driving/racing shoes that looked a bit like running shoes. I've forgotten the name of them.

born2race94 · 04-03-2008, 03:39 PM

John, they are Pumas and Piloties.

Thanks Tyler. I do remember the Puma's logo and I think cat-something or something-cat, but just can't quite recall.

Eric(FL) · 04-03-2008, 04:01 PM

Puma Drift Cats

Thanks Eric!!
Now I've found Drift Cats, Speed Cats and Future Cats and they all look just about the same. I read on one site that one should order at least a half to one full size larger than your normal shoe size. Is that what you guys did?

born2race94 · 04-03-2008, 04:31 PM

I am going to order some Piloti Prototipo's soon.

Do you find them better than the "Cat's" in some way?

Lazerrred · 04-03-2008, 05:02 PM

John - Puma Speedcats.

**malman2100** · 04-03-2008, 05:40 PM

Jody had Speedcats as well.

Tyler, you can but the Prototipos at European Road Racing on Rivers Ave. Thats where I got mine at. Thats the only model he carries though.

John, I have some speedcats too. I like the Pilotis because the heel is a bit heavier. You have better feel with the Pumas....but they are a little too thin for my liking.

jschrauwen · 04-03-2008, 06:25 PM

Thanks guys!!!
Tyler, Eric, Joe and Malcolm, did you guys get a half or one size bigger than your regular street shoes? Reason I ask is that I'm buying online so I have to get it right the first time.

Eric(FL) · 04-03-2008, 06:36 PM

No clue...I don't actually own a pair I just remember the conversation.

**malman2100** · 04-03-2008, 09:59 PM

My Pumas and Pilotis are both the same size US shoe that I wear. You can usually find the Pumas at any athletic shoe store Joe.....go check it out.

My Pumas are 1/2 size larger than my street shoes, but my foot is wide & they fit like a glove.

Eric(FL) · 04-04-2008, 04:33 PM

Apparently Scott had a hard time staying on the track in 2007 too.
