If you bring a rental car, your only problem would be that it would have bald tires when you returned it... Even if someone does spin though, there is nothing but flat grass to hit...
well, there is that hill there at the starting point. Some guy in a blue STI nearly hit that one last year. Interestingly he went to my high school:naughty:
That would be Dustin Lam (timberwolf) It was his first autocross/track event ever so... His car was just too low and kept bottoming out, so he did what he could with it. Wasn't bad
I saw one wrx at the autocross today. I ended up running around a 26.3 in my stock evo and it was a lot of fun. Any of you'll going to make it out tomorrow?
as long as I get my pads swapped out tonight I am planning on being there tomorrow morning. Hopefully it will be easy. What is the pit situation? Is there an area to swap tires and such? I may want to bring the r-comps but not sure yet.
I was there today and it was fun Got to do a couple of AXs and 2 parade laps - luckily I was all alone with the Panoz instructor and I kept pushing him o go faster - and he did... I will be there on Sunday for the track day - 2 sessions of 30 minutes on the track. This is a fun event
What fun we had today. I met Tal with his (ahem) rental. I'm uploading a boatload of pictures right now to smugmug (it'll probably be sat eve before it's all downloaded - they're 3mb each!) http://upload.smugmug.com/gallery/2868763 (unlimited upload so these are about 1gb of picts There will eventually be about 220 pictures) I was the only soobie out there today (at least when I was out there). There was one wagon wrapped in a saab package A couple of fast evos. This is my first autox experience and my best time was a 28.13 in my 07 sti. My brother who has autox before got 26.79 in my STI and 28.41 in his 05 accord 4 door ex with tsx 6 speed and custom springs and struts. The fastest time of the day was ~25.4s and it was a porsche GT3. Only one other guy went into the 25's which was a corvette. I'll try to be out there saturday afternoon. Here are some pictures for now: This is what happens when you brake during a hard turn! Serious tire roll! There was a nice variety:
Nice pictures. Only correction is the fastest time of the day was in the 23's set by the silver porsche turbo
Are you sure about that? I snapped pictures of the time sheets for friday and didn't find one below 25. Unless the porsche came near the end of the day.
Yea I am kevin. The porsch ran the time in the morning and never got his slicks back up to the temperature. They had a lot of sheets over the course of the day
They weren't counting the people running slicks. Maybe that's why that porsche didn't make it onto the sheets. here are a few pics I took today (sat). If you want all of the ones from your car, just PM me I think this guy won first place last year. oops. A stealth wrx (saab 92) Spike TV was filming some footage off the side of my brother's STI And here he is eating some cones (four!) poor cones. Someone's blue subie
not a subie but this run was very entertaining This car looks fast parked. He wasn't as fast as I thought though. Probably just driver error. Beast.
I remember I was anticipating the turbo lag and hit the gas a tad bit early. I came off that last apex way too hot and understeered horribly as I ate those cones!. Then I proceeded to brake hard, munching up those poor cones. I should have just plowed ahead. Could one the cones have been thrown into the crowd? It appears I'm smiling in that picture.
that blue 02 in the pics above was me. i ran a couple of times in the morning, but the lines were too long for me in the after noon.
I love your car. That's the direction I'd like to take mine in (leaving it wingless, jdm or edm headlights, and the v2 sti lip).
man, i showed up late on saturday. at like 4. i wasn't prepared to pay $10 a person to watch. bummed that i drove an hour there and back for nothing. the event was free to watch, but you had to pay $10 a person to get into the track area? did anyone else have this issue? it's free but you have to pay? what?
HAHA, figured someone would get a shot of us idiots trying to drift. My meth pump was leaking so I went up there with my S2000 buddy, problem was he just installed a supercharger and was having problems controlling the POWA.
Nice smile for the camera! What was your buddy thinking at this particular moment? My bro is a good at picture taking
^^HAHA, that must have been Saturday...That is not me riding shotgun. He was probably thinking, how the F*%$ am I gonna get this dozen cones from under my car!
It was more than a dozen.... When I saw him run Saturday, I think I counted about 2 cones that he DIDN't hit...
I'm bummed that I was actually gonna be able to go to this event and then didn't....... but I had some extra jobs pop up over the weekend that I just couldn't turn down..... great pics though, looks like it was a good time
Heres a video of my 5 lap run http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-7546511038528277624&hl=en I had a media guy sit in with me (spiketv - horsepower). He mounted a camera on the side of the car. Footage here was my camera - not his. I got an extra two laps out of that run
I was able to get a few pictures of my car from the event: http://www.briangt.com/gallery/crx Hope to see you guys out at a real autocross -- Brian
