Stu, I guess we got our answer. The Porsche 911 was BROWN... cool color shifting paint, though.

Yeah, I hit the 3rd cone in the slalom (the same one I hit on 3 other laps, rofl) on my best lap and got +1 seconds. It doesn't really matter though, since I didn't place in the top 5 and I only would've moved up 1 rank -- from 12th to 11.

This is only my 4th autoX event and I'm still learning. I hope to catch up to Michael's skill level soon. He runs ridiculous times at every event!




Chris, the last number is the time difference (in seconds) between you and the best driver in your class. The 2nd to last number is the time difference (in seconds) between you and the driver that ranked just above you.

Haha yeah. Brown it is.

i think you have enough skill that if you had the right tire and brake setup you could approach the low 60 second times that michael was getting.

Thanks for the kind words, sir, but I'm nowhere near his level yet.

My camber was set at -1.2 and -1.3 in the front so I was understeering like a ****, but it was blast just being out there with the other Zs.

My rear camber was -1.4 and -1.5.

The alignment guys at NTB the day before the autoX were being douches. They didn't want to touch my car or even give me the specs I wanted because they didn't want to do the extra work (camber kits). After going to 3 different NTB over various bullsh1t and almost 7 hrs later, I finally gave up and ended up with my current alignment spec.

Apparently, people have been abusing the "warranty" packages at NTB so they're cracking down on everybody and pretty much refusing to do work in any way possible.

Who is Michael Hollingsworth on here?

I just got my car re-aligned before last Saturday......F:-2.8 R:-2.1,F(toe):1/16out R(toe): 1/16in, 9.1 Caster. Like this better than the 2.4/2.0 I was using before (toe and caster were the same).

Yeah Chris, I think if you had a little bit better set up you could be much faster. There were definitely times where you'd lose a second or two just from not having enough grip and sliding wide through turns.
