bump, event is this weekend. Come race, fun no matter what you drive.

Some unusual cars on the results from the last event:
02 PT Cruiser
04 Malibu
76 Vega
68 Barracuda
02 Cavalier
05 Elantra

Along with some F-Body's, Mustangs, Miatas, Neons, some crazy guy in a big red truck, and of course a crap load of Corvettes. The last 3 events (back to last year) there has been a new Z06 at even.

Rumor has it this is going to be a really fast course. I thought the last two vette club courses were open and someone described them as tight in saying this would be a fast course. Sounds like a good course for oh say...a supercharged Maurader :-)

You keep trying don't you? Can't do it with the the Nittos on it. Sit too close to the shocks. Maybe the PT........mmmmmmmmmm...........

A little facing the wrong way, a little doriftoooo action, course really wasn't as fast as it seemed like it might be, was easy to overdrive. After I got the excitiment out of the way I got a decent run in and a GREAT run in. Was a fun day, kind of cold and windy though. Took Dan for a ride, I think I heard a whoa come from over there at the beginning of the run :h Riding with someone is crazy though, you don't really have anything to hold on to so you kind of get thrown around.

haha.. yeah i think the "whoah" came from the fact that the truck rolled 45 F'n degrees... but it still stuck.. i was amazed!!!


This was my fist time at a true autox (i dont count formulaSAE) It was definately a blast today, really wished i had more runs... every time i kept beating my previous run.. But all in all, it was fun

You know, I still really don't notice the body roll as much when driving it. :h It sure shows up in pictures though. It really is amazing how much different the perspective is from the passenger seat when doing something like that though.
