ESCA Autocross in Santa Rosa - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

cody · 2012-04-03, 09:19 PM

Yo. I went to my first non-Reno autocross a couple weeks ago. It was similar but different. Some things were better, some slightly worse. Great day to run a Subaru though. I'll attach the results.

Now I'm in a class with all other street tired 4T and 6 Cyl NA cars. Mods are completely open.

I'll probably check out some SCCA Solo in Oakland too. I'll go with a buddy who runs his old 280z and his new 370z in stock classes there.

SFR events will be a whole new game for you dude. They do separate out all their street tire cars the way we were doing it 3 or 4 seasons ago, and I think you'll be trying to beat the de los Reyeses in their RS. Good luck with all that.

I think I saw in the last top scoob on nasioc (that was supposed to be auto-x cars) that they were not competing with that car anymore. Unfortunately they were only in the first round so it got deleted. But I think they were building a different car.

They've had several project autocross cars going for a while, at least 3 that I know of. I'd be surprised if they retired the RS though, it took 2 trophies at Nats last season and they were still doing some developmental things on it over the winter.

No argument here. I've seen those guys in action. I'd definitely like a rematch with Vegas just to see if I could beet that guy in the white WRX wagon and the dude who beat me in a Camaro one year.

I want a rematch against Derrick too.

Kevin M · 2012-04-04, 08:24 PM

You wouldn't be running against Noel and Gilbert anyway- it's a DSP race tire car. I'm not sure if Gagan has moved to race tires, but I know he's running our equivalent of TSM with a stock RS motor and doing pretty well.

Nice driving. clean and tidy on a slick surface.

gonna take a raw time championship in SR ?

MattR · 2012-04-06, 07:01 AM

Wow that course it tight in spots! But looked like a fun time. I love autox in the rain.

cody · 2012-04-06, 05:41 PM

Ya, the end was painful. I came in too hot and nearly coned it away at the end. My previous run actually looked much cleaner (less obvious mistakes) but somehow wasn't my fastest time.

Dude, we've been watching you win with ugly runs for years.

Don't act so surprised.

cody · 2012-04-06, 09:54 PM

I think yellow tricks the finish lights.

cody · 2012-04-06, 10:11 PM

Spinout.
