Saturday Auto Cross...Who's going?
 

I'm planning on running, anyone else gonna make it?

I don't even know if I can make either day. :(

Still in AZ sorry.

Where in Stead?

Might have to do freakin yard work, but it might get cancelled,,I wil be there on Sunday most likely, maybe saturday also.

I am definately THERE !!!! 8) 8)

I wanted to come up but it's snowing over the pass... I'm gonna be out at Castle AFB at the American Auto-X event instead. You guys should just all come down here! :lol:

I might be in that area. How far is that from Folsom Lake or Walnut Creek?

At the airport.

I'll be there! Should we meet for donuts Sat morning again?

It's out in the central valley, probably a couple hours from Walnut Creek. The town is Atwater, CA.. about 1-1/2 hours from me here in Livermore.

Geez guys, ever use mapquest?

Mapquest sucks. I have to attempt to use it for work purposes all the time, and alot of the time, stuff doesn't show up. Yahoo Maps! has work 10 times better for me.

But to each there own :o :D

Either way, it shows Atwater is half way to Fresno from the Bay Area.

I think we should... DONUTS seemed to help everyones Confidence. :lol: :lol:

Hehe, thanks. I have been to lazy to look it up. We just bought another book of business at work, so we have another 1,000 clients. I only poke in and out now. Its helsa busy :wink:

I think KK is a fine idea, I'll talk to you guys at the meet.

Okay, it's on!!

Saturday Morning 7am, Krispy Kreme, McCarran and Kietzkie... same as last time!

Okay its definate. I won't be able to make it this weekend :( . I am heading out today to L.A. Ill be there till Sunday night. I hope everyone has a blast and get some good pics.

awe!! man ART. that stinks :( .. well we will have fun for you man.. and EVEN eat some donuts for you too ;) ... lol
Have a safe trip, and have a good weekend :)

Gawd Dammit. Looks like it I may not be going to L.A.

I am booked at the office, so the person I was going wit is sooo backed up. I think they want to leave around 8 pm to L.A. !!! I may just pass this time around.

SO - it looks like I will be in town. Unless we ge our ass's out of here by 5. Who knows.

well cool.. that means we'll save some donuts for you ;)

Hey MattR?? have you had a chance to play with it ???
to see if it works ???

Oh and GUYS i just talked to Sid from SIDS REPAIR and Tire/wheel SHOP on 4th street and he said he will definately be up there Sat. and Sun. but will be there in the Afternoon .. He drives a hot lime green (New color for his car this year) 260z ....
BE SURE TO CHECK IT OUT !!!!!! ;)

I have seen that car many many times. There is normally like 2 or 3 Z's outside his shop.

No free time yet Boo, Just too much going on, soon...thanks again

TRUE ..
He is a really nice guy :)

No biggie Matt :) .... Will see you tomorow ... 8)

Alright. I will end up going tomorrow. I may not be able to meet at 7 am, but I will end up meeting out there later on.

Sorry guys, I can't make it to Krispy. But I might be out at the track at around 11 depending on the weather.

Sorry Guys .. I had to bail early .. I wanted to get some co-Driver runs as well :( but due to child care problems .. I had to jet :(

Hi - was out of town for a week, back yesterday.

It was so great to see you guys out there today!!

Scott/Matt/Sergio - that was really cool of you guys to bring extra donuts this morning!

Cold day again, but fun. I couldn't believe those karts, they took the top 4 spots in pax time today. John Perry in the Blue corvette was the fastest pax time of the non-karts, and John Leftcourte in the super7 was the fastest raw time of non-karts. Look on the renoscca.com web site in the next couple of days for your times.

p.s. want to put a plug in here for Sid, of Sid's Alignment & Brake. He's a great guy, I have him do my tires & brakes, and so do a bunch of other SCCA people. what'd you gus think of the 'tennis ball' today?

tennis ball...?

the highlighter Z?

I had a great time. I really wanted to break into the 52's, but didn't pull it off. The sad part is that the other NSM cars were slaying my by 3 seconds. I think I need to ditch the ALK, and remove the MBC on race days so I can run STX. I'd be much more competative.

It just that the ~50hp the MBC gives me (especially in the lower gears) is so damned addictive!! I'm afraid that if I race w/ less than full power, I'll start driving fast on the streets again... and with more power than stock, I'll be going *way* to fast illegally. :lol:

BTW: Sid's car was gorgeous... not something you could drive on the streets, but on a course, it looks AWESOME!

BTW: I'm uploading about 150 pictures right now, as well as a few movies from the "in-car" camera I had during a few runs. :twisted:

Check out this gallery for a selection of the better pics. I'm uploading all my pics and the movies into the "sperry Pics" folder right now, but it'll take another 10 hours (litterally... my upstream DSL is S_L_O_W!) before it's done.

Man, I wish I had taken this picture at 6MP so we could blow it up into a poster...

Absolutely amazing sky today!! All that wind was good for 1 thing: cloud formations. I got a few other amazing shots of the sky in the gallery

yah that is a really cool picture, it would have been great with a bit more detail to really make the WRX stand out. The top of the picture almost matches the car. I like how the dudes walking away thinking "Damn she's a fast driver".

Here we go... poster style!!

OMG, That is a beautiful picture Scott!

Good thing my car isn't closer in that pic, it was dirtier than I've ever had it at autox. I put off washing it, to put off the rain & snow. Worked.

Sid's car is the tennis ball, it still looks yellow to me (some say it's lime green).

Preston: thanks from a bunch of people for the Krispy Kremes! What a treat!

No problemo.

What was your final runtime? did you hit 102:00? :twisted:

No, 2nd run @107.9 was my best I think. 3rd run was a little faster but I hit a cone again. :x

Without my help? :shock:

:lol:

Yeah, you probably shooda stayed with me & yelled at me to go faster!

I can't believe I couldn't make it out there. Looks like it was a blast. I worked off and on all weekend. Next time. :?
