Re: April 14th Brooksville Split Event

To avoid any issues with the what, how, and why I did my last two runs I will heed your advise going forward.

I will only say this in my defense: that my lack of experience (I'm slow, so me just being on the grid slows the event down for everyone :( ) and the fact that I "tried" to plant my car in ...

Re: April 14th Brooksville Split Event

You were not alone on the day though Ryan, I also did the deed in the afternoon, after removing my rear sway bar. Who knew the Brooksville site offered Rally Cross too?!!? This Auto-X is truly a ...

Re: April 14 - Brooksville - Another Split Event

Strip search only if you look suspicious.

LOL - guess i'll leave the fake mustache and shades @ home.

Really looking forward to this weekend and seeing the differences between the two venues. The "long" runway layout looks as if it could carry considerably more speed than the SPC layout.

Re: April 14 - Brooksville - Another Split Event

Having never been to the Brooksville site for an event, what should I look foras far as an entrance? If its obvious like the SPC event then I'm sure I'll figure it out, but I just want to make certain. Is there a seperate security pat down area? Signage?? OR just look fo a mass of cars thats not in ...

Re: S2 Here we come

Road & Track ran an article on how responsive the BRZ/FRS chassis. They swapped out the eco friendly (and slide happy) wheel set for performance sets, one just grippier and another set of +1 lighter wheels with wider rubber. The results were impressive, but not unexpected. These car appear to be ...

Re: Car Number policy for Split Events

The odd and even number secessions would be a good solution. And if you need to have a certain number to help keep your Chi in balance more power to you...lol.

"Royce, you don't need a course map, you drive a 240, just drop the clutch and close your eyes and let the awesomness of the Nissan be your guide. That's what I've been doing lately and I think that's what Charles and Jeremy do anyhow...... :-D "

Re: April 14 - Brooksville - Another Split Event

Had iI known that traditionally the course is not revealed I never would have asked. Im such a novice that 1) I didn't know any better and 2) it won't make any difference.

Re: Alignment?

Thats true too. It does shift to some degree or another. A rule of thumb is to find a place that works for you and keep going back which in part was the reason I asked this question.

Which Tire Kingdom are you talking about. I had a not so great experience with the one on the corner of 54th Ave ...

Re: Alignment?

There is a such a small margin for error. You hit it exactly too, if youre adjustment is off too much your tires are gone in a flash. I dont have high quality treads yet but it seems like the investment in tires would warrant that kind of TLC. Although the idea of DIY alignment is cool my ability to ...

Re: April 14 - Brooksville - Another Split Event

Is the site in Brooksville secure enough to allow for set up after the test & tune the day before? That would make early set up super easy if that was the case.

Sorry for my confusion. Much respect though. Can you ever have too many RX-anythings, in red or any other color? :)

Royce, the RX-8 wasn't Chuck this time. He was driving Chris' MX-5.

Ah, ok...the pic on his post threw me off. Either way, who ever the RX-8 was I was pulling for him/her.

I have a video to post up as soon as i can grab it from my buddy that took it. It should illustrate the right front lock up ...

Re: March 10th SPC-Split Event Format


So much going tonight here that I want to chat about, but will have to wait until tomorrow.....

I thought it was interesting that on everyone of your runs, your front right tire locked up when you were braking into the first green cone. This caused some small drama on a couple of your runs. But ...
