what is a gauntlet race? i never heard of it, or with that term. haha but looks like it would have been a lot of fun.

its a race where u have so many laps depending on the size of the gauntlet vehical (usally a van suv or bus i had to go after another car) to disable it in some way. if the chase cars disable the gauntlet vehical they win, but if the gauntlet vehical finishes the required amount of laps it wins. we won, i tboned the car right in the passanger side. it was a big lincon. it still runs so im going to fix her a little and put her in the next one a month from now.

If that thing was a turbo, can I have your ecu and maf if they survive? lol
what year was it?

 

[1998yamahawarrior]

if it had been a turbo i wouldnt have done that. it was a 88 w/3.8, after my girls were born i ended up junkin it cause the steering column was broke.

AWWW!!! yOU LUCKY SON-OF-A....

I keep gettin boys.. I've always wanted a girl.. *Sighs*

Have to see what pops out this comming January.. hehe

As for the car, a steering colum couldnt be too hard to find.. ?

I have a couple a 2.3T in my 2 murkers. The thunderbird ecu and maf are the key to a cheap awaking the engine.

I have a holset turbo and such to go on one I plan to drop into my s12.. hehe.

anyways, congrats on the gals, and too bad about the car being dropped. hope you still find your wy to races, either as a participant, or spectator!
