Default Some Autocross "fun day" vids.

We just had a club "fun day" yesterday. about 10 of us had the track to ourselves for the day and got to "play" a lot.

I haven't posted any videos in a while, but thought I would share these since they are a little different from most autocross videos.

This is a run I took in a Z06 on massive race tires!

Thanks guys!

I still think I need to get on line quicker. The entry angle and speed into the slalom made nailing the proper position on the second cone difficult. The first cone was on the left side of the car. -Easy to get good position on the first cone but difficult to set the desired speed (for the rest of the slalom) while compressing the braking zone and timing the turn-in.

I would love to get into autoxing again. Need new front tires, though.

I have no class.

I'm on street tires with SPL A-arms.

Get some offset bushing made for factory arms and run in the road tire class! Or I can bring some scrub 285's for you run at Dixie in BSP. You'd have to get them mounted somewhere.

My rear's are 265's so STR is out. Thanks for the Scrubs offer, but I'm not going to Dixie unless I go as my brother's tire warmer in his Mini.

With the AWD's out of BSP, the Z is looking better for the national stage. I may look into jumping through the national hoops to make my car legal.

It's still way under-prepped. (Stuff in my sig is the whole show) With the Z uncompetitive on the national stage for so long, I just set it up the way I liked it for the money I was willing to spend.

But I'm liking the new BSP.

It's kind of funny though. The more I clean up my driving, the easier it is to pick out/catalog the flaws.

Simply put, the better I drive, the more I suck.

I'm a man of many wheels/tires. I also have a set of 9" RPF1's with 255 star specs . I don't think your arms are legal for STR either....are they?

No they aren't. Not sure about my flywheel either.

-And I'm on Star specs now too. I could just show up and run in XP or something. My magical metal bushings shouldn't be illegal there.

Oh wait. I heard you can't randomly "up-class" yourself either now.

*sigh*

There's still a slight chance I could make a cameo appearance in a Mini.

If that's the class my bushings put me in, I guess FP would be the scene of the beat-down.

You are your own worst critic.

I like to think with driving skills like that, we'd all be better off driving on public roads if more of us did this.
