Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

LOL I can keep it slow. The wheels might say we're doing 120 mph, but that's just 'cause they're not getting any grip!

And, I am pretty sensitive to my passenger's needs. I make sure they feel comfortable. We won't go that fast until after you're comfortable and until after you understand that I have complete control of the vehicle. I want my passenger to be confident and to have a good time. If their eyes are closed and they're screaming, that's just gonna distract me!

On the inside of the car, you can also see how it is I manage to do what I do. A lot of it is concentrating on how the car is balanced at any given point of time. The goal being able to make the car dance on the head of a pin!

I'd probably pick something with a 5 point restraint harness, so that you feel bolted into the car.

Shit, my daughter lets me take my granddaughter for drives. So, I'm pretty aware of my passenger. There's plenty of fun to be had at lower speeds, assuming you have the car for it.

It'll still (it always does) take a bit for you to truly grasp that I have control of the vehicle.

It always takes a bit for people to really learn that. After that, they have a bunch of fun.

One of the reasons I'd put you in a car with a harness and race seat is 'cause there's a lot of G forces involved. Your first few minutes in the harness you'll instinctively try to fight those forces. But, once you get used to it, you just let the belts and seat keep you secure and you only need to concentrate on your head/neck. You'll likely keep your arms holding on to something or crossed in front of you.

There are forces greater than the force of gravity.

It's kinda like some rides you might have gone on at the fair when you were younger. Only I don't take tickets and it generally lasts longer.

I really don't want my passenger (very) scared. I want 'em to have fun and enjoy it as much as I do.

I can also give you a 99.999% surety that I will not crash. I drive within my limits AND within the limits of the environment. I never drive faster than I can see. I never drive faster than I can stop.

(Except on a track. Even then, I need to trust the people around me and know the environment.)

The rides at the fair never lasted long enough anyways
