Yeah he bought the GQ for a reason... 'cause its a tough bastard! His moto is "It'll go or it'll blow" it's a TD42 running 20psi and if you were at J7 and you climbed up that hill you know what an awesome bit of driving that is.

it wouldnt crawl the hill or was it uncrawlable?

Huge hill, and only front locker. Even most the outlaw class didnt make it that far. He has rocksliders, thats what saves the body from damage and rolling (besides the fact that he drives "into the roll" to stop it from rolling right over)

The hill is sorta crawlable to a point.... was slowest time to the top.... so most guys were takin it easy up until the point where this vid starts... thats sorta where u gotta give it a little and get the front wheels in the right place to get thru the holes dug before.

I drove my truck to about that point cause I decided to take the right side of track...... got in 2 other cars in my club and they both got up by stayin well left... even though it throws you right it gets the wheels sorta where they want to be.... you gotta drive it to know what its really like though...


Good vid though!!!

How do you mean drives into the roll?

is it he turns the way the cars falling or the other way.

Justt trying to work out the best way to do as i dont want to turn the wrong way when i have mine on a lean like that.

Well, I'd hate to give advice on whats best for what situation. But when I was in the car and it was rolling right, he turned the wheel full right and it came back on its feet.

Others might know the physics of it all..

Thats prerry much it

Best I can describe it is "chase the down-hill". So, point the car in the direction it wants to roll.

If the car is going to roll steer into it and ether dont brake or gas it. All u have to do is drive the wheels down hill faster than gravity is tring to take the rest of car :twisted: o and that was one x ride

Looks like the wheels were pointing left if anything.

looks that way

looking at video it looks that way i guess the power steer is only so good holding as much weight as i could right but car is very heavy. would have gone full lock left if i let it ;)

Didnt even look close to rolling.

I was in outlaw and only got 70 so that was excellent to make it where you got too.
