Of course G's are welcome AJ. I was actually wishing you would come so I can see how I compare to you 
We could meet up, but I'm not sure how that would work because I'm pretty much taking 94E all the way down. I think you might take 696 down to I-75?

I actually would probably take 96, but your right no use in meeting up.
Rob-you'll take me I am sure man.
I am old and rusty with a BIG car.
Will be alot of fun to find out though...

dude i'm not that fast. There are these 2 other Z's that are normally racing for points and they usually kill me by a full 2 seconds on a 55 second course.
BUt I just put out the challenge so more people would come out and have fun
Maybe we should make one of next year's 350z meets an autox meet.
See you guys tomorrow! What awesome weather!

hey guys. Man my day sucked. After working a 2 hr shift, I had to wait in the BACK of the line (there was no way I was getting back to Ann Arbor by 3 pm). Luckly I went and asked the guy if I could jump to the front of the line cuz I worked an extra long shift. He said it was cool.
So I got out there but I was so pissed that it screwed up my concentration. Fastest time was 46.3X I don't know why but I was driving like a puss until the last one where I just pushed it harder. I definitely should have pushed it all my runs but for some reason all the tight turns were screwing me up.
Thanks for coming out Jon and AJ!

Great time!
I had so much fun, nice time Rob!
The G is not made for autocrossing but what the hell...
Hopefully the weather stays nice enough for the 26th event...

Rob - If that was your time, then you did pretty good I would say. My best run was also a 46.3X.
It was a great time and hopefully the weather holds out and we can all make it out on the 26th.
Steve - Yeah I know I need some tires, and I also need to put my brakes on. It will be something I do oever this winter. How was the OTD at waterford? Maybe you can make it out on the 26th for the next autocross.

OTD was great. Got 4 runs in.. Car ran great.. I still have pad left on these Project Mu B-Force pads. I think I'm going to pick up another set for next year.
Saw (the aftermath) of a Neon go head first into the wall on the front straight. He went off track coming out of swamp, tried to save it (should have let it go.. obviously), got grip and lost it again right into the wall under the tower. Totalled. Driver Ok.
I am in for the next auto-x as long as the weather is good. Gonna tear you guys up.

Glad you had a good time Steve!
If we go again on the 26th, I am going to bring my Spec-V instead of the G
The tires are just ruined on that car, WAY too big of a car with too little tire...
Hopefully the weather does hold!

Rob the link doesn't work for me
I am in for Nov 2nd and the autocross.
Though I am bringing my Spec-V
Nice work ROB!!!
Yes he does have springs and swaybars.
But to his defense he has no brakes or tires left...
Good job beating him though!!!!!
