Ease off the left and full-throttle the right....What will the car want to do?

EDIT: Also assume traction is not an issue...

Accelerate into the nearest ditch?

There's a big reason why so much was spent on design and why we patented them...

All footage you see of the small form factor boats has both engines synchronized even in the turns. ..nuff said.

If you knew how much digital footage we took many, many years ago during the various phases. But the bright side is that much was done in places like the Florida Keys.

P.S. Latest SST status - will get final feedback from Bowler tomorrow and then get tranny to Nelson shortly. Do final high boost tuning and filming and then car comes back east. Timeframe - unknown yet, but shouldn't be very long. NLT than end of year for everything. Yep - famous last words there.

yeah, you really need to stop trying to give ETAs
you're becoming more like TN weather forecasters... nobody takes them seriously because something always happens to make the weather nothing like the news said

The first run was cool, but the second run,,, wow... It looks and sounds like the port engine wasn't running in the first run, and then having the second run with the one to two inch chop.... The lil lady was flat out flying... Great stuff...

Good news on SST. That car really does need to come home to it's own driveway.

Spoke with Mark Bowler today. Will have tranny done, sent to NRE and then Mark will fly out and do the setup in California personally. That is pretty impressive.

Would have been earlier but SEMA is everyone's big event of the year and they were all supporting that.
