First of all, you're so busted for driving an RC car on the Kissena Park Velodrome!

That's not really that bad a wreck. Consider how heavy the car is, and how much speed you carry into the turn. Next time you go out there keep the car higher in the banking. It give you more room to correct if you make a mistake. And yes, I do speak from experience.

You caught me Jim. Yes, that is the Velodrome.

Nitro, On that particular run, the car was set up to only go up to 65mph. Top speed for that day was 64 and 60 on banks. We managed to hold the track at 74mph on the previous day but the plastics gears keep giving up. Still trying to figure out how to get the max out of the stock engine..

That wipeout is actually not bad at all compared the bmw 60mph wreck. My car was pushed into the fence while trying to overtake a slower car. Guess he didn't like that so he force me in.

Well there's no video of me driving my 70 Caprice on there. Of course that was 20 years ago.

How many of you race there?
