turn one at VIR, two wide, i stomp my race spec birks into my loadcell utilizing all 200kg its rated for (im a beast). my race spec birk clad foot blasts my poor brake pedal out of my wood rig proving how powerful i am. i hear the all too familiar sound of a hole being punched into drywall, my race spec clad birk foot collapses under the pressure and folds into my clutch pedal. boys i am limping right now what the hell i was just playing a game

obligatory rig set up in last pic. happy holidays! ill be back iracing, i will be back.

Woodworker here

Swap those screws out for bolts. I only use that size screw when nothing else will work cos they’re a pain in the ass to get them to grip anything
