AutoX this weekend
 

I am having autoX withdrawls....

Anyone wanna let me codrive their car saturday? I will pay your entry fee and buy you lunch :)

sold!!!!

for reals? :)

what run group are you running in?

novice , morning sessions both days, maybe both on sunday. Don't expect to get any chicks in my car though

Haha no worries about the chicks.

do you know what class your car would be in because I ran novice all last year so I dunno if I am allowed to this year.

What time will you be out there on saturday ill show up and help you do any of your prep that you do.

tsu:( , damn crossmember

SU...dont know that one but it sounds like a high one.

yes it is, but If you run it you are guaranteed 3rd!

alright. Im not too worried. I ust wanna have some fun.

What time do you usually get out there. I like to be early to help with the course setup. I drive a purpleish bluish grey toyota tacoma with a silver toolbox in the bed.

be there at 7 to help set up the course.

I will be there sometime before 8, I have the sorta white old 93 impreza l, Its not super fast but I think its a fun car

Well that may take some getting used to since the last car I had on an AutoX course was my evo but either way I am stoked. Im Robby btw. I think I have met you once or twice but partying kinda messed my memory up...doh!

omg.

it's gonna be hot.

maybe a little smokey.

possibly some dry lighting.

:unamused:

Ill be at home building a motor. :p

Mama, I'm gonna go fast!... :D

Just replaced my third coilpack this year!!!!!! ready for full boost:)

im excited. crossing my fingers my dad will loan me some money since some fuck stole 300$ and my debit card out of my wallet and had no time to go to the bank today :angryface:

Just have to make sure to not shift it as hard as i could with the evo and i will have a great day :)

I'll be there riding with Kris in the afternoon. Hope to see some of you out there (i'll be out there around 10:30-11).

How was it?

Fun and fast.

Where were you? You gave me a few free points this weekend :(

Yah, stupid life getting in the way of important things. My buddy got married so I was back in Santa Rosa.

Should have sent him a schedule while he was making his wedding plans.

srsly.

:lol:

I had to plan the whole scca schedule around my wedding last year! hardcore.

Bump


I might not be able to run my car this weekend. Anyone willing to let me codrive. i will pay gas and entry fee.

I don't think i'll enter but I plan on watching since there is a carshow later on in the day at the same place.

I will be out Sunday with my friend in his GTI and my WRX should be fun!

Haha, I'll be out there, probably running novice... But I dont know how much fun it'll be to run in my 170 hp car...

HP doesn't matter to much in auto x. Shoot, last season, I kept up with WRX's and a swapped GC.
Plus, it is a ton of fun pushing your car to the limit, even though it may not have a gagillion hp.

Moose has it right. HP is not necessary. Watch Cory in his NA GC. He is almost keeping up with Stage 2 and beyond STIs. :)

Seriously, come out and learn to drive. Slowing down to make the corners correctly is much harder than getting on the gas pedal for the straights. And as a novice, you need seat time to figure that out. Don't be discouraged that you get your ass kicked by 135 HP Miatas and Hondas or the occasional saturn. Just come out and have fun.

?

Yeah, you Van. Well within a few seconds anyway.

:lol:

Not to discourage you, but once you've been doing it for a while, you'll realize that "close" is more like 0.02 seconds. In your first season, it's not unusual to improve by 3 or 4 seconds each lap. Once you've done a season or two, you'll find you get all excited by improving a tenth.

I know what close is. But when the fact that the whole season last year he had more suspension mods done to the car, and a swap I felt quit pleased in the fact that we were that close.

Meh, I'd suggest you only be proud of yourself when you beat someone in a supposedly faster car, not when you come within seconds. I enjoy looking at raw times for that purpose, but I also enjoy improving in pax.

It's certainly a valid benchmark to compare yourself to another, more modified car, and see if your times are consistently off by around the same amount.

But it's not exactly supporting evidence for this statement:

Getting beat by 2 seconds isn't a case for horsepower not mattering. In fact, getting beat by 2 seconds consistently (for example) is evidence that the additional horsepower is actually worth 2 seconds per lap. :P

I rode with Moose last year and I was impressed, He's a good driver, especially working a 4eat around an autox course. The suspension didn't help me much as when I put on the rear sway I gave myself full rear toe out which has in turn made me a wimp in slaloms/turns. I gotta relearn everything.

I hopped in Moose's car to day to pre-run the course after we set it... and he laughed at me while I fished for the clutch pedal. hahaha. Course is set bitches, but you better stay away 'til tomorrow or my security team will go Rodney King all over your ass.

Thanks Moose.

Tomorrow? Friday test & tune??? :lol:

There is Friday Reg.

Just fittin ta post dat
5:30 to 7:30 I think

I will be there Sunday!! Watch out Cody!!

I should be out sunday too. Egads for ESP!

Nick and Nick, either of you want to trade rides the first one or two runs?

DK is going to the SF region divisional, so Rachel is on her own in the RX-8 this weekend at GSR. Keep an eye open and help her out if you can. (Unless she gets to drive a kart again, at which point, she gets no help. ;) )

I may come out Sunday, but my Dad's 80th birthday is this weekend and the Party is Sat.

if I'm not moving that day I plan on copiloting!!!!

I'll be there both days:D

firefli co-Driving or Navigating ?

I suppose that there's no better place to ask than here, but will there be rental helmets or do I need to quickly borrow a helmet?
