_Wilson_™ 6,563 Posted December 29, 2022 Okay.... So these two look close....waste gate... Comes to mind..... But I've never delt with a waste gate on a turbo plant ... In my opinion there a waste of money and not needed.... Seems like they have more to do with controlling emissions which just chokes an engine down...

By the time I got there to check on him, he was already back on the bike and gone. The only thing left were scratches in the pavement and rolled up sod. That turn was famous for having pea gravel scattered on the surface. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
56Sierra 1,844 Posted January 1, 2023 Here's the road. Dude was going right to left or going CCW around the turn. Pea gravel was often used on the berms and when a driver cut the corner the gravel got kicked up on the road. Probably didn't help that it was a decreasing radius turn. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
