Welcome!

Cool that you have a SCCA license for this. Racing with USRC, SCCA? RandyZ has something in common with you.

What's the canyon experience? You referring to Gorman Ridge?

Welcome!!! I have a stupid question.... Given the relatively high center of gravity do you think it is possible to roll the smart car if cornering too aggressively?

Thanks!

still breaking in the car. i haven't been able to do aggressive testing yet... only thing i've noticed so far is oversteer wabble thing with powering out of corners... that might be rear mounted messing with me.

and as far as tipping over i dont think so... unless you hit a bump during a turn to help toss you over... other then that... normal driving semi aggressive. i dont see a chance... but then again anything can happen

i'm SCCA and clubRALLY and i get all my info from current autocross chapmion of so Cal Jason Flores. he is one of the few i know with corner weight balancing at his house so you know how serious he is....

did gorman once or twice i don't know that. like i know malibu, wilson, GMR, Ridge Rd.


ridge is really close to me and i run that the most.

i've been to many places i'm thinking of a navi rally we can do that will tour lots of nice roads around us.... just trying to cordinate with other people so i can do less work
