I got a lil something up my sleeve! ;)

 

tim said if turn out and feedback is good he'd like to make it a regualr thing (im hoping maybe a series ) and he'd like to start doing poker runs as well and things along those lines

 

i sugest u mount those better tires my friend ur gonna need them

 

sweet blown xa you're coming nice

 

he isnt, but we are.... Blown xA is a good buddy of mine, apart of our club, and we autoX together regularly. he's the one that told me about this event.

competition is always good and makes us all better so if ur "king of the scene" i'd like to dance with u i think it would be pretty fun. sooooooo barring R-comps i think it would be fairly even. everybody who autoX's knows that power means just about nothing. and in many cases the cars u beat mean nothing either considering ur beating drivers not cars. i could realistically and truthfully rattle off cars thrice the price of a tC that i've beaten but it doesnt mean much. i will say the tC does surprisingly well tho and us scions usually draw a crowd of the surprised lol

i dont recognize many of the names on the list so i figure i'd find sumbody to compete with who isnt brand new. not being an ahole just looking for sum fun =)

 

alright, i am going to do my utmost to come to this!

Christian-tC-also, i'll need a helmet! lol.

 

i wouldnt call myself the king of the scene haha and i wasnt trying to come off ahole either but yes competition is always good and i dont want to head out there and be a full .5 sec up on everyone. in fact i hope i come in 4 or 5th overall.

also this is a parking lot at a school so i expect that horsepower will mean next to nothing. the tires i'll be running arent anything special, they are equilvant to what i'd run on the sti everyday. but they are much better then the all seasons would do, and they are a 205-40r16 so i'm picking up a wider patch and reducing sidewall and overall diameter to shorten up my gearing a bit, which should help it coming out of corners.

also if anybody has any questions about setting (tire pressures!!!) or technique feel free to ask (i'm sure blown xa and AcrimoniousBear will feel free to help too) i hope to get some more scion owners hooked on the sport and to have some fun competition out there

 

Bummer, if I weren't on vacation, I'd come take part... this is starting to sound fun!

 

lol ok capt. lol too bad ur not an ahole. it woulda made it more fun roflmao. but friendly competition is whats up too! roflmao

and yeah like capt said. im willing to offer any help i can to anybody who wants it. im no dan gardner but i've been doing this for a few years and i'd LIKE to think i have a decent grip on how to do things. its VERY good to see so many folks trying out or being involved in AutoX. im hoping this sends a message to corporate to lay off so MANY shows and try doing performance and autoX events more often!!!

 

see now even if i were an ahole i'd like you for that last part btw ross will tell you how crappy of a driver i am ;)

 

Thanks Stu & Dave for your help on getting more involved in this event and getting with Tim for the info.

Looks to be a good turn out.

 

One love for the community!

 

lol thanx man. i have been talking to Mike Worth about bringing an event to the richmond area. i already have NASA officials onboard and excited about hosting a show. they are more than willing to run and staff an event if scion wants to purchase a full Heat just for us. theres even talk of getting Virginia Motorsports Park (where we autoX) to open the drag strip for those who wanna run the 1320. im not sure Scion wants to pay for VMP tho. they can be ridiculous on their price.

i SOOOOO cant wait for this event! its been like 2 months since i last autoX'ed i gotta get the rust off!!! CANT WAIT!!!!!! www.excitement.com lol

 

omggg.... if i was home for the summer i would totally do this....
sucks i'm in wisconsin ...

 

hey, do you receive a confirmation email or anything to make sure that you've been registered and able to run? i sent an email on the 15th, and never heard back from anybody, and the number just rings and goes to voice male where a greeting completely different from tim hyden answers.

 

i got a confirmation call from tim today, #19

 

I got back from this event just a little while ago. It was well worth the trip up =P

Decent amount of Scions representing and plenty of cones were beaten to the pulp... The company was great, good food, and plenty of nice rides... I'll def. try to come up to the next event as well. =D

 

today was a lot of fun, i hope to do this again real soon, does anybody know if any of the pictures and videos that were taken are going to be posted?

 

drax, u were there? i wanted to meet u even tho i didnt tell u that rofl. which person were u?

this event was def bangin. had a great time being out there and meeting sum first timers and couple timers

 

def good times yesterday my gf and i had a lot of fun and can't wait for the next one.

in case some of you didn't overhear, the owner of newark scionworld is building a large lot (5 acres which is huge, the lot yesterday was about 1 acre) for storage purposes and they would like to be able to hsot autocross events there as well in the future. Doug and Sasha were sounding very excited about it yesterday . I'd like to thank Tim for setting everything up for yesterday, it was def a blast.
