Thanks for sharing the info, guys :)

ilikerice · 08-09-2012, 08:40 PM

no problem. anything for a little competition. no fun driving alone

Fyi to anyone who owns the hr coilover kit the ksport top hats fit perfectly but you'll needto swap the bearings. A good spring size is 6-7 inches 8 will fit but youll have no adjustment for lowering.

cali yaris · 08-11-2012, 12:04 AM

when's the next SoCal autocross?

xnamerxx · 08-11-2012, 12:20 AM

Sdr is running one this weekend at Qualcomm in san diegodiego , im pretty sure ill be there sunday to do some last minute testing with the new springs. Otherwise its sept 24th at fontana.

justjesus · 08-11-2012, 01:37 AM

isnt there another one in San Diego on the 26th?

Garm wants to play, now that he's lost some weight? eh, garm? hehe

FYI, Adams has summer hours. 6, 7:40, and 8:50. Although, I haven't been there when they start on time for the 8:50 one. Last time, was waiting til almost 10 to run!

namer: thanks for that tidbit on the top hats :)

xnamerxx · 08-11-2012, 03:41 AM

Jesus you are correct. I don't keep up to date tabs on SD unless I'm Jonesing for another hit of the ax crack pipe.

Here is the SD schedule for the rest of the year.

cali yaris · 08-11-2012, 12:47 PM

yep. I want to play.

hmm, Aug 25-26. Might be fun to stay down there and do both days. Jesus?

xnamerxx · 08-11-2012, 12:49 PM

Let me know if your going down on the 25th-26th I want to see how close my lowly beast can get to the monster

Jason@SportsCar · 08-11-2012, 12:53 PM

Just an fyi if you have not run in SD before, 93db @ 50' is the sound limit, if your car is loud your event will be short lived. Make any necessary adjustments beforehand.

xnamerxx · 08-12-2012, 10:12 PM

Garm its a good thing you didn't go today the course was AWFUL no fun at all and it ate the hell out of my tires such a waste.

justjesus · 08-13-2012, 02:41 AM

Garm: hmmmm. Let me check the schedule !

Jason: Thanks for that heads up

Namer: So you went to SD? Is registration similar to our Region's?

WOW. I'm glad I stood in Montebello, housesitting. With the AC on ;)

xnamerxx · 08-13-2012, 10:40 AM

Not quite, you register onsite at SD and if your not a member of sdr you have to buy a temporary membership or a perm if you choose.

Yeah I really wished I turned around and went home, that course was sooo tight at one point I dropped down into the teens just to make a corner had to shift into 1st. The ending was unsafe so right after the finish and I mean immediately there was a hard right that if you zoned out for a second like I tend to do meant hitting the cones and ruining your run so coming to almost a complete stop was a must. Mix that in with a course that was generally just very hard to read looking ahead just showed you a sea of cones rather than which direction you actually needed to go. Add in a surface that was so dirty you couldn't get traction and 100 degree weather and that was a terrible day. I spun my car for the first time and I've owned that thing for 5 years and not only did I spin it but I spun it hard and I was on the throttle when this happened but it was due to the course being so dirty.

cali yaris · 08-13-2012, 12:07 PM

Sounds like a challenging day. The Camarillo Airport autocross is wicked tight like that also. I think I've learned the most when I lost traction/control over the car.

"If you don't go over the line, you don't know where the line is" -- just a thought and a quote from someone who is faster than me.

justjesus · 08-13-2012, 12:24 PM

Damn, sounds like a rough day.

Garm, I don't remember saying that. LOL

xnamerxx · 08-13-2012, 12:36 PM

Ignore the template I forgot to change it from the last time it was used. (Not affiliated with Black Iron Racing.)

Gives you an idea of how rough this track was. I actually messed up the camber on my passenger wheel hitting a cone at some mph. I was running positive camber on that wheel and didn't even realize it till I came home.

Thanks for sharing!
I like it at 1:23 or so. WHOA.
looking at your speed, yeah, i can see what you mean. pretty slow. some of those turns, were way slow.

SD has some great course designers, and some that should be beaten with a cone. You think that was a painful finish, check the last two turns on this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYIqdMe_SOI
