ClassE Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 I heard Snap once slapped a man with his white leather driving gloves while stating "The gas pedal is MOST CERTAINLY an on/off switch!" B C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassE Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Snap had never seen a computer before buying one to tune his E30. They named MegaSquirt after his reaction to the first data logging session. patsbimmer1, jc43089, rampelsauce and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rampelsauce Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Every time I text with Brian - I just assume he's sitting in a chair in a twill coat with a pipe talking to himself in a Britich accent about "the marvelous creation these cellular phones!"

ClassE Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Shortly after the creation of the automobile, one enthusiast insisted the automobile must be driven sideways at every oppurtunity. Other drivers questioned "What shall we call these maneuvers?".From that day forward, it was known as "Snap Oversteer"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassE Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 I heard Snap has modified the linkages to the gas and brake pedals - so that no matter which pedal is pushed the throttle is opened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_love_cars Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yeah. It was so much easier when I lived near Holy Hill. So many great roads in one area. We'll be more organized next year. Depending upon the success of this event, we may look into having it at a track for a track day/party. I'd like to do something like the BMWCCA for Oktoberfest, but on a much smaller scale and only a one day event. Im pretty excited though. This should be a lot of fun. The problem is that now the Holy Hill roads are beat to shit, as of the past couple years. Many of them are straight up un-driveable now if you have a lowered car and suspension work. It's unbearable with how much these brutal winters have taken a toll on them. I'm getting ahead of myself but I really like the track event thought. We did that with a group of guys for blackhawk this year and had a caravan of 10 people bring their cars to the track. There's a decent amount of prep that goes into it if we want to rent a track, though, specifically for our group. For example we are liable for anyone who spins out and damages tire walls. If we could get 30-40 people, then we could talk to one of the organizers like Jimmy Yu at GPS Tracktime who does a couple of events a year and see if we could partner with him for something. I'm spitballing at this point. Fingers are still crossed that the weather is good on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see! I could even film the cruise and such if someone wants to lend their GoPro and helmet mount. YoungCR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard anything to suggest that it is being called off, the weather shows it clearing up in time, hope that is the case. If not, pretend we are British patsbimmer1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
