Hello,
Is there a sign up sheet for a caravan to the meet?

 

Got my autox tires/wheels so my car can move finally! I'll be there Sunday. Will most likely join in on the caravan!

 

Nothing formal, but we can do one here.

Sweet!

How did it go today?

 

Course was fun.. loving these R-S3s! I somehow got my car into limp mode during the middle of my third and also during most of my fourth run but I know there was 1.5-2 seconds for me to make up from my second run..

And stupid me forgot to put the SD card back into the GoPro.. lol

Was great meeting Alvin and Don. And Andrew on g35driver.

 

^I did the same thing on Sat.....forgot to stick the memory card in my camera...........got home and realized the fail.

 

Pretty good! The course was fun, and there were a lot more prepped cars running in the prepared and modified categories. When I left, only one car had broken into the sub 40s, but BSP and XP still had to go, so they may have got down there as well. Results will be up soon.

I got some video from my last 42.5xx run that I'll get posted up at some point.

 

TTOD was 38.5 by Justin in the FP/XP Subi. BSP Evo did a 39. DSP Ford doing a 39 was awesome. Two miatas in the 40's! DM Fiat did a 40 as well as XP EVO. Huge Camaro with Mary at the wheel turned a 40 too! Vic and I got to 41.0XX in my Boxster but we had a puncture and new suspension still needs some tuning. I spun across the line on my fastest run of the day! So I think maybe a 40 was in the cards.

I need to drag my 350Z out some time but its just not as much fun as the Boxster at AX events.

 

Did UFO post up results yet?

 

Nope, not yet.

 

I think Justin ran out of class, so I don't believe his fun run actually "counts" towards TTOD leaving it to Josh. You should take the 350 out sometime for sure.

 

What are you guys policies on SUV's? What about an SUV slammed on coilovers?

In my current form I was denied from SCCA because they don't allow SUV's. I should have coilovers on once I'm back in NorCal though.

 

I believe THEIR policy allows SUVs, as there is one regular that goes out with his pick-up truck.

 

I'll have to check with them then. Last time I tried with I think SCCA, they said pickups need a wider track than height, but SUV's are not allowed at all.

 

In my book fastest car of the day is fastest car of the day whether it be fun class or not. Dennis and Peggy have funny way of looking at things! LOL!

I took the 350 Z to an AX school where I was instructor once. Best thing was drifting it around the skid pad! Thats what I love about 350 Z compared to Porsche. Porsche has way too much grip to drift like the Z car. Same day I took the Z out on Infineon and was drifting turn 6 and 7. Thing I find with Z is it doesnt feel very capable when your going slow but it does the craziest cool stuff when your moving fast. I think Randy Pobst explained it best when he drove 370 Z at Laguna. Car goes into natural drift and it stays planted. Very weird experience for us Porsche drivers - rear end comes around on a Porsche it means trouble!

 

Who is coming next Sunday? If anyone wants some extra practice, I'll be there on Saturday with a private group as well.

 

Maybe I have the days mixed up, but I thought the event was on saturday. At least thats what has been in my phone the last couple of months. good to know so I dont show up like a ree-ree

 

I should be there next Sunday. Can you PM me details on the Saturday one, Scott? Not sure if I'll have time to go but some more seat time never hurts if I can make it!
