[oldekid]

Great video. Unfortunately I missed out on that one.
Thanks for sharing.

[MarauderTJA]

This from an event that was conducted at MV IV at New Symrna Speedway in Florida. The guys who were there had an absolute blast.

[CRUZTAKER]

Absolutely fabulous!

Now I am really pissed I was out of town for this event. :(

Think you're pissed. I had the opportunity to be one of them, but passed.
I would have been the only DTR.

Doh:mad2:and double doh :mad2:

[SC Cheesehead]

Wow, thanks for posting!

I opted to pass on the cruise up to New Smyrna as well, and was hoping somebody caught it on film (or digitally, as the case may be).

Yep, shoulda gone, would have been the fastest blue out there for sure.

[RoyLPita]

I missed it too and I was with SC Cheesehead and 1stMerc.

[Bluerauder]

Yep, shoulda gone, would have been the fastest blue out there for sure.

Ha, ha, right !! ..... I was signed up for the New Smyra lap before my plans for MV IV got altered. :o I am pretty sure that you would have been staring at my SS Inserts on this event. Remember, I've got Northern Virginia traffic training. Running with 14 other cars on a wide oval would have been a breeze. :rofl:

It wasn't as easy as you would think!!!

Yeah, that's what Rex said about the Capital Beltway. :D

I wish I had felt up to the drive, I was sick all that weekend and had to skip some events.

Hey, I recognize that video. Sure wish the S.O.B. would have got a couple more seconds of that run. He was having a little trouble with my camera. ;)

[offroadkarter]

That's only because no DTRs showed up.

:beer:



I 2nd that :)

[Marauderman]

It wasn't as easy as you would think!!!

Exactly correct my good man Rick---who was also there for the run.......
-I was behind Al in the SB outside row---and believe me--turning with both hands at 9 and 3 position and the car doesn't want to turn---makes ya bit scared --then--thank goodness by then the turn straighten out for some more pedal---

YES--absolute blast---will always be embedded in my minds video slot...

[marauderboi]

I was waiting for someone to post that video on here:D

[magindat]

I was waiting for someone to post that video on here:D

I have several times.

Nice camera work!!!

All should know, all video was taken by Marauderboi (then 14, I believe) and Magindat Jr (then 13).

[SC Cheesehead]

Yeah, that's what Rex said about the Capital Beltway. :D


And he was right!:eek:

Yeah, if you didn't mind swapping paint with another member, and by the way the top gear you could be in on that track was 2nd gear, anything higher and you were a gonna.

Yeah, I was there too.

[MMBLUE]

I am sooooo glad somebody has that video. I was in the blue one. I past all of them including the silver one. I must admit he was the toughest one to get to. Considering I started way in the back and had to pass 12 others. It was a absolute blast. Probably not fair to the others, but I have 6 years of cirlce track racing under my belt, and have competed at that track competitively. If anyone has pics at the track, I would be interested in some.

So that was the Blue flash that went by me. OK spill the beans, what were we doing wrong, you went by us like we were on tricycles.

Everyone knows that Blues are loose and ..... "Loose is fast and on the edge of out-of-control". ;) (quote from Days of Thunder).

1/2 turn on the trackbar and a little spring rubber will get you through the turns a little better. :rofl:

Okay, just so you all know my blue was BONE STOCK all except the superchip, the key to racing in roundy round is simply this, you must drive it in deep with a soft brake pedal, drive in to the point passed OMG I am not going to stick, just then when you reach that point, you will feel the car reach its limits slightly out of control, yet settling nicely into the corner. At that point roll it through the corner easing off the brake. Just about half way through you start to roll (not stomp) back on the gas, just after half way through to 3/4 squeeze that baby wide open and it will set right in and hook up and off you go down the straightaway.

Or maybe a set of matched tyers ;)

[MaLo03]

oh yeah...I remember...nice to be on the track instead of the seats watching. lots of fun we had

[AztecKing1122]

I'm glad so many people saw this.... hope it brought back some memories and made new ones....

[Blackmobile]

on the same track .... must see!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIu9A45yQbg:eek:

I just wanted to bring back a blast for the past when we all got alone a bit better than we do now. There ain't nothing keeping us from getting back to that great feelling but ourselves. When we make friends because of our Marauder there is nothing to say it can't last forever. I have 12 other friends to share this memory with and nothing is going to change that.

[TAKEDOWN]

Seen it and definitely enjoyed watching it again... this stuff never gets old!

Hi all,

I was one of the Lucky 13, too! As everyone else said it was a blast! You really had to be there. We had a good time driving en mass to the track, on the track, and driving back from the track. In fact, we had a pretty good time in the motel parking lot after we got back talking about it until the wee hours of the morning. :D The day before we had a good time driving en mass to the Gainsville Speedway and back (and some had a great time on the drag strip, too.) I haven't been able to make a Marauderville since but hope to some day. I don't suppose it has been decided where the next Marauderville will be? If you haven't been to a Marauderville event and you get the chance to go you will not regret it! :burnout:

+1 for sure--As I have said before--I too, was one of the 13 and never had so much fun in such a short time that has turned out to be a time frozen in a part of my life---and the folks who were there--ya'll rock.........

[magindat]

--ya'll rock.........

YES WE DO. :beer:

I'm headed there tonight for opening night of the 09 season! Fun Fun!!!

[Blackmobile]

Just don't try to crash the gates to make a run around the track again, your MM is too pretty to be rubbed by the other racers. But I know it will be on you mind...
