Someone panicking between “turn one” and “turn two”
-
Complaints about being interrupted while playing Flappy Bird
-
Confusion about the diesel tank being empty

Electronics act up

The car jams out music and drains the power
But once Kye lets go of the button… the ProMod leaves like a monster.

Wheels-up. Front end hanging. Not enough weight on the nose.
Still a five-second hit.
Kye says:
“That was a ride, man. Still went 59 with the front end in the air. Car’s got more in it.”
