AnandTech just got called out

[Zap]

I just noticed that HardForums has an "open weekend" meaning you can browse GenMay and some of those other paid forums. I decided to see what they were talking about in their Cars/Motor Vehicles board and found this thread. Post #36 and #38 mentions AnandTech.

Thanks, jlee. I guess you have to be logged in. Normally you have to pay for GenMay access over there at $5/year but this is a free weekend for normal members.

Basically the thread was about The Forum Wars where reps from two forums race their cars against each other.

On a track or in a straight line?

On a track or in a straight line?

Best out of 3.

1) 1/4 mile drag.
2) Autocross track, best of X number of laps (2? 3? unclear but at least 2).
3) Slalom.

The Forum Wars was awesome. Saw it here in Houston. MSF was awesome. FYHN!

edit: I donate to MSF too for the same reasons as anyone, great information, awesome vendors, etc...
there are no ads and it's entirely community supported

I donate yearly to the Corvette forum. There is so much knowledge on the site that I felt it was worth doing. I have not seen another single make forum with so much information, vendors and contributers.

probably at least keeps the kids and trolls out of them, now that would be worth paying for.

1/4 was 2 runs
auto-x was 5 laps
slalom was 3 runs

That could be fun. I'd be willing to participate but there are cars on the forum much faster than mine. Some that we probably don't even know about.

Yeah - it'd be fun, but I'd get destroyed.

from what we (in MSF) learned from competing this season - the driver mod >> car

 

[Fenixgoon]

Cars only or are bikes allowed?

 

[Imp]

Oh noes, assemble da trupes.

 

[Throckmorton]

What about offroad??

 

[jlee]

Cars only or are bikes allowed?

I wouldn't want to run a bike in autox against any car built for autox.

Actually I haven't seen an autox course that allowed motorcycles.
