Figure, if you do the math, three tires on the gound is less friction then four... :?:

A1337STI 2006-04-09 08:24 PM

yes, and friction slows you down :P sounds like a good way to reduce the rolling resitance of your tires. /silliness

I could barely make it through HALF of Saturday, let alone Bully's, or Sunday for that matter! I was F'ing exhausted!

It was, another awesome weekend though! I do wish I had the energy to make it out on Sunday, but it just wasn't happening!

Now that my AVS ES100s are BALD on the inside edge, I guess it's time to get some new Auto-x tires together in the next 4 weeks...

That would be a picture I took with Kevin's camera. I hope some of the pics I took on Alex and Kevin's cameras turned out good! Post em up guys!

I need to work on that too.

You took 34 pics. Of those, 4 had a whole car in them, and 6 more had part of one. :p Noober!

cody 2006-04-10 09:21 AM

Your camera takes about 4 seconds before you can take a 2nd pic, other than that, :oops: yah I guess I shouldn't quit my day job.

I'm bringin my craptastic camera next time. It has its own problems, but at least I'm used to it.

Hey guys, I just came out for the first time on Sat. Have to say, that frickin rocked. Was way too tired to show up at Bully's though, maybe next time. I'll be back out for some more! Thanks to Pete for letting me ride a run with him.

Right on dude! See you in May, unless you can make it to some weekly meet's at that same Bully's. :)

A1337STI 2006-04-10 09:53 AM

Actually my camera blows goats (and other random animals) My fault i should have taken 60 seconds and explained a few of the options on the camera. looks like they are all taken in 640X480 and they all have a massive blue tint (i don't even know which flash settings to use) . the video was really the best option with that camera (?!?) i'll have to see what proggies i have installed at home and batch out some thumbnails and make a lil gallery for them. (the angles and timing of photos is quite nice ) :)

That's the SCCA's laptop.

And the problem isn't posting the results, the problem is that the results need to be audited and sorted. Posting takes all of 4 seconds.

Anytime. Good job cutting off more than 4 seconds between runs. Talk to any of us between runs, we would all be more than happy to help out.

Ah yes, I was going to try and jump in the car with you, but you seemed like you were getting good instruction from someone else already. But like Pete (Forgotten) said, feel free to ask any one of us, and if we aren't too busy I'm sure most would be glad to help out (even those of us like me who aren't as fast as the rest of the group :p)

tysonK 2006-04-10 03:16 PM

I must say I'm really impressed with everyone that came out. Everytime I see you guys out there thorwning down sweet times it makes this club that much more fun.

I seem to always think the next year of auto-x is going to be less fun or slow down. I have been proven wrong every year.

Remember don't get discouraged if your times were not where you would have liked them to be. You WILL get faster and have an even better time that next time you are out, and the next time, and the next time, you get the point.

And, you can do a lot in a stock car! Mods don't make you a better driver although they can in theory get you better times.


Well done everyone.


edit: I was almost the next kahmis. what could have been....

You, Pete, Brian and Chris (in no particular order) are the early contenders for the title this year.
