I'll be 60 this next month and in spite of all life has taught me .... I still succumbed to temptation and ran around Bristol's turn 3-4 ... up off the apron on the high bank .... last night .... slow speed .... in my 2007 F150 FX4 Scab.
Wife was so excited .... danged if that turn ain't steep at 5-10 mph though! (they use to be 36 degrees, but now due to resurfacing, down to 24-30 degrees .... felt steeper!) Pirellis held on and she didn't roll .... think what an idiot I'd have felt like if she had rolled or if I had not topped up the tank and starved the FP?
Maybe that 2" drop job helped?
Now she wants to drive back down there and do it in the Mustang.

for those who are wondering, the car just left my shop to a body shop. I am putting back my OEM headlights and turn signals since the aftermarket ones broke. I bought a new truefiber cowl 3" hood for it and should have the car back in 2 weeks or so. Thank you all for your concern, I almost shed a tear looking at it leaving on that truck. Should look the same if not better and should have my bride and joy back.
