snookwheel Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) A buddie running his LaGrand unfortunately blew his engine and dumped a bucha oil.... Not good for the Se7en following him! Sure wish the course workers had noticed the oil! [/url] Edited April 25, 2011 by snookwheel
MHKflyer52 Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 That was quite a ride....good thing there was no drainage ditch or other objects or soft soil.....so how far did you slide once you departed the paved surface.
snookwheel Posted April 25, 2011 Author Posted April 25, 2011 I don't know how far exactly, but it slid a good long way. I am glad it was a clear area as well! There is a good amount of run off area all around the runway. There sure was a lot of grass to vacume out when I got home. Scott

Hank Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Glad you made it out ok. Bet there was more than grass to vacuum out.

Well.... in the interst of full and complete disclosure, here is the un cut version of what actually went on in the cockpit....:rofl: Edited April 25, 2011 by snookwheel
yellowss7 Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Unbelievable! My daughters are now 24 and 21 and I still remember that cry. That kid needs a good burp. :jester: Tom
Croc Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Yeah yeah....blame it on the oil. I bet it was from the overabundance of talent :jester:

BTW, it was the first time the guy in the LaGrand had driven it... and he took FTD on his 4th run... The fith didn't work out so well for him. Hope it's not too much $$! He is a natural..
Croc Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Ok...dumb question time from me....what is a lagrand? I guess it is a Buick of some evil handling description? :leaving:
snookwheel Posted April 26, 2011 Author Posted April 26, 2011 It is a bike engine powered rocket!http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/snookwheel/LaGrand.jpg
Croc Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 LOL - Now FTD makes more sense to me. I had completely different visions up until you put a picture there.
TheDingo8MyBaby Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 While legrand is most well known for DSR's (as shown), they've also made formula cars (Formula Ford, F5000, etc). In addition, they used to sell prints so one could make their own legrand chassis.
supersportsp Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/project-cars/1976-legrand-mk-18/ GRM has one as a project car. They have also gone through several motors. http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/media/img/projectcars/dixie2011.jpg Edited May 13, 2011 by supersportsp
