Hell, it may be worth the drive to tow my junk down for lunch. I will have to show Tattoo how it's done. 3rd gear, 6000rmp and 40psi of air in the tires. All air!!!!

See I have it all figured out.

Speed = 3rd gear x 6000rpm
3rd * 2 x single low = 7, plus 40psi in the tires + 38" =from the luanch of thickness on top = 40.7625" tall
(.375 on both sides becomes .75) + 18 inches from the diameter it becomes 18.75 inches in diameter
S = 2pi * 9.375 * 7.625 = 18.75 * 7.625pi = 142.96875pi
470 cal/in^3 = 211100.3001 = about 211100 cal
2.11100 + 2.0358 + 2.49380 = 4.80838
480838/800 = about 601, 800 when all done.

So about 13'.4" of air and about 4.8 seconds of hang time

It's getting real deep!

It's getting real deep!


What? I'm just tying to help out my buddy John.

It should work?

It sounds kinda good?

I'm not sure it will work with a good outcome. It won't work!!!

DON'T try it my math may be a little off.

Unless you really want to. Then definately film it.
Last tip John. Cut a hole in your floor board behind the gas pedal. That way you can really mash the throttle and git some. I got your back bro.

John is eyeing a high speed launch off the top of the ramp as soon as he relocates his tank up a little higher.

We also have some remodeling to do to our fab shop and John has volunteered his truck for the demolition work. Camera's will be rolling !

I cant wait for the next installment ;)

Jason, we worked on that ramp a few minutes before we had to get back tp work, but we couldn't seem to find a good line up and over it. We will be hammering on it again soon. Its a pretty brutal cement hole. Hobie will be down soon in his F Toy so I assume he will chip away at it too. You should swing by next weekend and see what you can do. The more of you guys that fail the sweeter it will be when I find the line in my almost stock Toyota pick up. We are also looking to have some races off that doc to see who can land it the longest, and the sickest. Should be fun

[yotadaze]

Man, you guys work too hard. You gotta loosen up, have a little fun.

[FatAzzRunner]
