Autocrossed the 07 Ranger. y'all wanted tire lift... *** video added ***

>>>>The Video is here <<<<

Traction was INCREDIBLE. My tire pressures were nearly dead on.

I've never lifted so many times in a one event. I knew I was getting some lift here and there but not this degree.

I really want to express the fact that this truck is pretty unstable in it's stock form and is evident in the photos. In the wrong hands, it could be dangerous to drive this particular layout aggresively in fast transitions. This truck definately needs a hardcore drop and an enormous front sway bar.

Remember folks, I've been performance driving for a while.


Here are some of the more exciting ones.

2 wheel motion :eek:





This ruined all 4 tires. ABS was disconnected and I cooked it too much. I missed the cone wall and killed the momentum.












Now this is hanging it. I believe the calendar needed this pic. hehe.

How fast ? I bet I scare the hell out of a lot of you, and will garauntee an elevated heart rate in the rest. hehe.
Honestly, most of that corning is around 40mph. I'm uploading a video now. It has two tire lifts at the end at least, and you can see where I did the smokey stopping. I'll post it when it's ready on you tube.
