First autocross today - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

bigrobwoot · 2008-10-05, 04:36 PM

I just went to my first autocross today, and it was a blast. Thanks, Nick, for inviting me and walking me thru every step haha.

For those of you that were there, I was in the dark blue 2005 RS that was smoking cuz I was leaking oil (I overfilled it on my last oil change, and it was leaking a little bit from the top of the pan it looked like). Unfortunately, now I'm addicted, and that was the last one of the season. Can't wait til next year!

You're welcome!

I was wondering about the smoke

, It seamed to subside a few runs in though. My first event was the last race of last season too and the wait until april sucks. Welcome to the board and to autox

Thanks van. what were you in? did you have that wrb gc right next to me? and it didnt subside, i just stayed in second, so my oil pressure wasnt as high so i didnt leak as much haha. when i opened the hood it still came pouring out

Van was in the white one. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. I like your exhaust, it sounds good.

sweet thanks. It's a Stromung catless headerback with Borla replicas. I totally meant to try to meet some of you but I spent a lot of the time trying to see where all my burning oil was coming from, sorry

Awesome!

I had a good time murdering cones on Saturday.

Dewey · 2008-10-06, 10:18 AM

I did so poorly on Saturday I would like to forget it... lol

bigrobwoot · 2008-10-06, 11:00 AM

I thought I did well on Saturday, but I don't really have anything to compare it to. My best was a 55.040, and I didn't hit a single cone all day, so I'm happy. Plus, it was a blast, and it was cool to watch all the other cars. That white STi that ran in the second group was sick as hell too! I was really happy he let me ride with him

I have springs, I just don't have 8 hours (or the know-how) to install them.
