Hi Fetterelli,
You've reached the official Geezer site on the Planet. Conversation is 95% friendly with off color commentary at times. We try not to engage in "serious" track related "conversation", but it happens, and typically passes once the next race is underway. We accept Geezlings, on a trial basis to see if there is a fit. You can't get too serious about winning, we're doing this because it's supposed to be fun! Send oldboy1943 a FR.

GEEZLINGS ROCK!

What we talked about last weekend: Cleetus at Tyler Perry compound.

On Wednesday, I tried to use the Dodge Demon in something like a 700 PP race, if I remember correctly. I gave up because it was stock and didn't handle well. When I mentioned this, the response was, "Of course!".

The last Weekly race that I had to do was a 700 PP 5 laps at Bathurst, so I thought, why not use the Demon. Sure it would need a tune, but it didn't take long to fix that. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly it turned around.

Now, here is a video of the full event. Stock weight (4279), but I forgot to remove the computer, so it had a bit more power than stock, which is still well below the 700 PP limit. Adding some adjustable parts reduced the PP. Hmmm... Stock is at 840 HP, which is 5.09 lbs / HP. No other tricks. That is one potent car!

The event is limited to Sport Soft tires, so... this will be fun, right? Fish flopping in the bottom of the boat fun.



Oh, maybe not. Smooth, accurate, no contact, stable. Look to see my Demon more often.
