hat trick -- from kanundrum: there's an event in bmore on feb 3, then one on the 2nd sat of march and then lots more...soo he usually lets me know when and where, just ask him!

 

already told him in person at the washington auto show!

 

Thanks, I actually talked to him at the auto show. I'm going to try and make it to the event next Satrday. I'm completely stock so everyone can have a baseline of what their mods did for lap times

 

Haha, beat me to it

 

small world. alright well hope to see you around =)

 

does doing this kinda stuff beat the crap out of your car? i want to autocross but i would rather do it with a car i dont have to drive to work on monday.

 

some ppl will tell ya it wont harm the car. any racing will effect ur car. i am sure i replace brakes and tires alot faster than most scion drivers. and three wheeling prolly has some effect on the body and suspension. but i'll tell i have not had one problem w/ my car yet and i have 55k miles on it. i prolly just jinxed myself

if it is an option, i'd pick up a mk2 golf/gti, a crx, or miata...i run my xB which is also my daily driver cause its my only option.

 

wow we think alike. i want a gti 16v or a miata as a project car. my dad use to auto-x his Porsche 944 but really doesnt have much time anymore. he has talked about getting back into it. i have been pushing the project car on him for awhile.

 

for all n00bs, u can go faster than u think u can and come as close to cones as possible. if u hit them it may make a small mark on ur car and add time, but u will learn where ur car is. after a few events u will start to learn how to drive

and as stated above "smooth=fast". u will learn this as time goes on young grasshopper.

ppl say i look like i am goin slow which i am but also very smooth and my times were always extremely close the mg that ran HS. when we both ran it seemed to be him 3rd and me 4th and it really did not matter what showed up. although last event a prelude classed himself as HS and should have been DS, but it was a non-points event so i guess no1 really cared which put me in 5th out of 8 instead of 4th out of 7, IIRC and i dont finish dead last and usually about 75% in PAX

 

ive always wanted to try this, street racing and drag racing just dont cut it for me

 

no reason why you shoudln't it is a definite crack addiction tho.. be prepared for that.

 

lol. oh im prepared for that.... if you know what i mean....

but seriously, once i get everything in and fixed with my car i might start practicing some places around here, then maybe show up at some events

 

hey sapan, i met a guy at summit recently who said he was once driving behind a tc whose wheel fell off...hmmm sounded awfully familiar ;)

 

indeed it does.

 

Did someone on here lose a wheel? That sucks...

And Mehr, why didn't you race at Summit that weekend?

 

i lose my wheel at summit last year at the redline time attack

heat/stress got to overtorqued wheels and snapped allt he studs on a turn.

 

my car was in the shop so i just rode with some friends who were drifting i guess it's kind of pointless posting this up here but if any of you guys have a rwd car you that you want to learn how to drift, there is an event tomorrow (july 4th) for $150

the instructor is pretty funny and it's a fun group of ppl

 

I wish I had one, thanks for reminding me I don't....
