Ride Along With PEZi!

[PEZi]

A day in the life of an autocrosser... or something...

Step 1: Wake up early.... so you can show up to the track as the sun rises... consume red bull



Step 2: Unload all your s***... consume red bull



Step 3: Attach grip, go-fast stickers and remove all unnecessary objects from car.... consume red bull



Step 4: Look at other ridiculous cars........ like this supercharged miata running the largest rear wing and splitter allowed by the SSM class rules



Step 5: Do coursewalks... and register and all that boring stuff

Step 6: Race!

Step 7: Take videos for NICO

This is the first run of the day. Cold tires? Yep... How about a little drifting and stuff on some 275/35/15 Hoosier A6's?

This is my fastest run of the day, but still +1 cone... these days happen I suppose... you'll see the one I hit near the finish

Step 8: Assess any damage... snap some more pics



Step 9: Decide you need overfenders.... NAO! Coming over the crest before the finish unloads the suspension... then it slams back down while under cornering load... the result?

[Razi]

Wider fenders would be awesome y0!

[PEZi]

Wider fenders would be awesome y0!

well... considering that the tire came up and hit the fender.... yeah

the funny part.... the tire won the fight... those fenders are flemsy lol

[Dattebayo]

I can't believe you drive a truck doing this crap. You can see right where it hits in the vid.

the fender? it actually didn't hit until my last run.... which i didn't feel like editing and posting... the hit was much harder than those 2 were

and yeah.... one of only 2 trucks in the state.... and something like 12 nationwide

[Dattebayo]

Well anyway, I gotta say that the way the cones are done makes my head spin. I don't know how you can figure out where to go.

coursewalks... you walk it in the morning before you run, and memorize it

What's the A6 look like? Earlier this year, I had a nice bite taken out of a V710 before I chopped my fenders.

Bonus!

[Mr1der]

I gotta stop reading these kind of threads...I can't really work my right arm well enough to drive the Civic right now...much less poorly at the local event.

[PEZi]

Bonus!

the bonus is that we had a proper course today... and i had the truck handling right.... gained about 5 seconds back from the last event.... no joke

[nissangirl74]

Sweet! Do you not get a practice run on race day? You have to walk it instead?

[PEZi]

Sweet! Do you not get a practice run on race day? You have to walk it instead?

yep... everyone gets there and walks it... course is open for walking from about 7:30-9:00 a.m. then its all from memory

[sentrastace]

wow thats sweet. probably the sweetest pickup truck ive ever seen. sucks about the fender though. rawr

[mmkeller]

Where are the Red Bull stickers?

Nice truck and video

[Bubba1]

Where are the Red Bull stickers?

:

LOL, I thought the same thing, Red Bull should be sponsoring you.

Fun vid.

[PEZi]

i'd be down for a red bull sponsorship... lol

i buy that s*** in bulk from costco

[IanS]

I get need to get out and beat on the rally car soon, or I think Im going to go nuts. Maybe I should just throw some summer tires on it, and go to an autocross.

Looks like you were having some fun.

[Rev_D21]

If you had the same setup except in a regular cab how do you think you would do compared to what you are doing now?

[bmike818]

thanks for the ride!


...thats what I should be doing to the Z

[Chaotic_Warlord]

Why does it sound like your truck is quacking like a duck when when you start and end the laps? Are the synchros starting to go in the trans so you have to grind it a little to get in and out of first or am i missing something. besides that the truck sounds good and moves like a greased pig at a bacon factory, is that a stock KA-E or did you work over the motor a little? Sorry I've read about your truck like 9 million times and I can't remember what you're running with, just that you use some obnoxiously wide wheels on a relatively small diameter rim.

a regular cab would seem more ideal considering all the weight is more centralized... but i think besides the few extra lbs. it adds, the x-cab suits my driving style a little more. who knows though

it sounds like that because something is rattling in the cab... it's a metal on metal noise... its funny though because its 10x worse on the camera... you barely notice it in person

the engine is a pre-KA... lol... it's the Z24... the bet way to describe it is a KA-E.... but carbureted

and yes... the wheels are obnoxiously wide and small diameter.... 15x10's with 275/35/15 hoosier A6's

[AZ89two4Tsx]

That quality lube you sell looks to be treating your engine well!

Nice vidz! All you need now is an obnoxious wing like that Miata!

lol.... i can't even picture the truck with such a ridiculous wing

[Mr1der]

I can. And it'd need a massive PBR door sticker to really flow.
