Almost had it

in cars •  6 years ago 

Well after the car got rolled over a couple weeks ago it has been pretty much a piece of crap as far as handling. This can be expected I suppose because well......... it got rolled over twice and broke the frame in 6 spots along with breaking everything else also. It appears that we may have finally got it on the ropes now though. We finally got everything corrected that got tweeked in the crash, I think. Last night we got up to second place and were as fast as the lead car but a late yellow flag let other cars get back up on us and Tony missed his mark once and got passed by 2 cars with only 2 laps left. He couldn't make up the difference in that time and we brought home 4th. I am happy with that considering how the car has been doing so it was a good night. The car finally looks fast again. Now it is off to do manly man stuff around the house on this beautiful sunday. Hope you all have a good weekend, or what is left of it.

Awww, come on @doomsdaychassis, what’s a car racing post with no pictures! I was once a Formula One fan, so I’m interested. Could you not show us something? I don’t have much of an imagination when it comes to cars... :P

let me see what i can dig up. here was the aftermath of the flip at the begining of the year

I will have to get on my phone for other pics of it not being crunched up into a ball. lol

😮 ...I’m glad you’re still alive.

I just work on them :)

i have a drag car.

Ah, gotcha! Well, then you have no excuse not having car pics with your posts since you’re not driving! But honestly, thank you. I’m visual. :)

Good luck on the win the next time....not sure about the drag racing (again, need photos for my brain to connect).

And your ‘drag’ car looks too nice for dragging...

That is a little above my pay grade. Lol.

Thanks! I was thinking nascar, but interesting car configuration. I’ve never seen them done up like that. More lightweight looking than I expected. :)

they have to weight 2500 pounds . here are some posts from when i first started on steemit. I wanted to do racecar stuff but noone wanted to look at it so i ended up being a comedian. lol

and my introduction with what I wanted to do here :(
https://steemit.com/introduction/@doomsdaychassis/my-introduction

didn't quite work out as planed.

To begin with, the fact that you could barely get a vote for a pretty cool intro is just a humble reminder for all of us how much it sucks to be a newbie on Steemit. It took someone reminding me I was just a nobody for me to put it all into perspective. Still, your intro was much more interesting than mine!

I would think it a real shame if you decided to give up posting about what you love most. When I realized you’re a mechanic and was involved in car racing, it immediately caught my interest. Because me personally, I’m interested in the ‘day in the life of XYZ’ kinda posts. They’re potential inspiration for characters in my story.

So my personal opinion is how you go about packaging it. :) Unless there is an active steemit mechanics community I don’t know about, a post specifically about suspension might be a hard sell. I’m sure you can repackage it all so us non-mechanic type can learn a few things. But you know what, a lot of us non-mechanic types actually watch races like Formula One, so I’m sure there’s a way!

How about a post reviewing a car chase scene?! I’d like to know a Mechanics opinion about car scenes like Transporter. Lol

tl;dr Your links are good, keep posting about cars and add some sexy car pictures!

I could deffinatly do a car chase scene review. Lol

This one. Maybe you can talk about the suspension capabilities here and slap it into a @comedyopenmic entry. Car chase, suspension, funny and dick-joke free! I challenge you...

I'm happy to hear it, because there's been a change for the better. I hope you become the winner in the next race.
Have a good day.

Nice to see you had a good night last night at the track, first Win is right around the corner! I went to the track last night since it did not rain and most cancelled or had not cars racing last night.
