My thoughts on the run are that slow and steady was our plan. We made sure we said that on camera before and after the run so everyone would know. I know no one wants to hear that, but frankly, I don’t give a F

Those tires we had to roll weigh like 200 lbs and if you dropped them you have to pick them up and move them. If they flop, that is not so good for 2 130 lb girls. Also, if you didn’t move them all the way in the hole and they flopped after you went thru, when you come back the other way you have to move the tires out of the way to get back thru. That was part one of our plan. To get thru the tires wihtout dropping them.

Part 2 of our plan was that it was an extremely tight, dirt course. We had very low clearance for the intercooler that was hanging down and there were huge ass ruts on that track. So we decided that it may be best to not slide all over the course because sliding is not the fastest route and that if we went too fast we might rip off the intercooler. We also just hoped that someone else would make a mistake…and they did.

Lastly, they haven’t been showing this really, but up until that day, our car was stalling every 5 seconds. Literally. If I pressed in the clutch it would stall. Before we went out on the course, Emilie messed witht he idle screw and we prayed it would work because we had tried to idle screw already and it didn’t work. This was our last ditch effort. If we had to stop the car or back up, we might have stalled. The car did stall because I left it in gear when we got out to move the tires. That was def my bad.

Anyways, we are still in. I’m not gonna get all hot and heavy with anyone over us driving slow. You know why, because I’m not gonna give anyone the pleasure As far as my driving career or record, it has no bearing in this instance. The Lexus ain’t my car and it wasn’t a drift or drag or road race comp. Reality is not reality peeps It’s reality TV. If this doesn’t prove it, I don’t know what does:
