I'm the master of the understeer! And lock up. I do both all the time.

Rain is the equalizer? hmm, finally something I can like about the rain?

hehe, THIS, I gotta see!

PS. Nobody laugh if I end up using a trash bag as a rain coat. I don't know where I left my rain coat (oh, don't own one!).

GEEZ, cone work in the rain?!?!?!

that's like, dangerous?

cali yaris · 12-08-2009, 12:39 AM

[edit: got it]

REGISTERED! let's race!

LtNoogie · 12-08-2009, 12:47 AM

Ok, let's all race as HS. We work first group and race third group right before lunch.

My Kuhmo Ecsta XS were rated by Car and Driver as excellent on dry pavement and scary on wet. This will be fun!

The Proxes R1R utilizes a motor sport-inspired silica re-inforced tread compound (UTQG Treadwear rating of 140), and a casing construction that features extra-wide steel belts & steel side plies for exceptional levels of wet & dry grip. The aggressive directional tread pattern prevents aquaplaning even at high speeds.

Good tire comparison...

Definitely got some time to kill on Sunday, but never gone before. How much is it to just watch? I wanna see what goes on with my own eyes before I decide if I wanna try it.

Watching is free. You have to sign a release to be on the premises in case one of us run you over.

ddongbap · 12-08-2009, 01:20 AM

My number is going to be 100. But I'm going to make it look like 1QQ.

LtNoogie · 12-08-2009, 01:25 AM

Tell me if this works. Unzip the file and double-click on it. If you have Google Earth installed, it should lead you to the parking lot where we race.

cali yaris · 12-08-2009, 01:26 AM

krayzee you gotta run, that would make 5 -- c'mon let's make history together.

I've never done Autocross, and with my car I will look like the biggest fool -- DON"T CARE!

Sorry Rob, unless you paid for a points card this year, your number will be in the 600 series for walkups.

justjesus · 12-08-2009, 01:27 AM

He is wrong. It costs 30 dollars to watch, and 40 dollars at the door. Incidentally, you have to register yourself and your car.

Then you can watch. Or race. Or both.

That's exactly the spirit! Like I got a laugh when I thought I was gonna park my car next to the "wall" of cones.... with like 40 yards left to go

Almost came to a complete stop. LOL

FIVE cars?!?! that would be awesome! and with the rain equalizer, WE WILL REPRESENT! yay

it's just too bad i don't have my magnetic 226 yet :(

cali yaris · 12-08-2009, 01:37 AM

I'll be loading the 13 psi map on Thursday. Seriously doubt 20 psi is a good idea in a 2nd gear race, LOL

justjesus · 12-08-2009, 01:39 AM
