Trying to decide if I want to drive the Accord for LOLs or try to bum a co-drive... Hmm.

On the topic of "how much would you donate to make this happen"... I think it would depend on the probability of it actually happening and whether there was risk of not getting that money back if the project never happened. If it was a well planned deal likely to go through I'd be more inclined to ...

Is there an award for tight grouping of times? 4 of my 5 runs were within 0.067 seconds, and my first and last runs of the day were only 0.014 sec apart haha.

That's unusual for me. It usually takes me a few runs to get up to speed.

My god he's so nice and early everywhere!

The turnaround is interesting though. I wonder if going that wide was on purpose or not.

There were some really close finishes in several classes so competition is really intense.
0.16 seconds covered the top 4 in M2 and 0.18 covered the top 4 in S4! That's just silly.

Congrats to Ben for winning S4 in an S5 car!

And congrats to Jamie for showing us that tires with 200+ runs on them ...

Experienced autocrossers don't know how to slalom? Stunning.

We could have disguised some of that outgoing slalom with Chicago boxes and other trickery. Not doing so was our Christmas gift to the course workers and setup crew.

PS: It's a really easy slalom.
After only running one event in the ...

Yeah, pretty sure the RE71Rs will be like hockey pucks. I'm halfway tempted to bring the Accord and run S5. It's got all seasons on it but they're ///ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE!!!

My first event back and it's a goddamn 10-come slalom!

I apologize in advance to the course workers.

Going to miss this one, sadly. The kiddo's birthday party takes precedence!

Going back a few pages:
I think I'll disconnect the rear sway bar for the next event.


Once you do, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. I disconnected mine after a morning session last year and it was a completely different car in the afternoon.

I was happy with the balance with the ...

Frustrating day out there! The car was swapping ends on me like it never has before. The only thing I can think of that might have caused it was rotating the tires. I ran all of last season without rotating them and the fronts were noticeably more worn than the rears. So when I swapped them today I ...

...my VW-codriver won't be there, which means I've got no ride. I'll still be there all day. If anyone is interested in a codrive for instruction or tire money or for the joy of direct competition, I'm game.

bump. I don't mind just hanging out, but it is more fun driving...my trailer-towing truck ...

I remember this course. It's why my right front tire has a big old flat spot on it haha. Lets see how I do after 3 months off... Should be fun!

Looking at the entry list...man, did everyone move classes or what? I'm so old and confused. :wise:

Getting my tires flipped in the morning then heading ...

You're going to be in S4? Uhhh... you want LOTS of toe out in the rear and POSITIVE camber in the front!

But seriously...

I had my guy max out the front camber, then match the rear to that. I think it's about -1.0 degrees at both ends with 0 toe.

Everyone else has given good advice. Only ...

Only at first!

Then I'll clean it up later on!

The other bonus is that it covers up the check engine light...

"Be smooth"
"Be aggressive"

Make up your mind!
I'm removing "BE SMOOTH" and putting on "BE AGGRESSIVE"... I realized that I'm smooth by nature and it's hurting my ability to get up to speed on a course quickly. This coming season I'm going to try to get fast quickly then work on clean runs.

What does the sticker below the Tach say????

"Philip sucks."



but no really it says "LOOK AHEAD".

Loren wrote:Only one change for the 2019 season:

S5 will now be SCCA H Street cars with up to 195 width tires OR stock width, which ever is greater. Exceeding the tire limit, they can run in S4.

Must be a Ford Focus turbo or an ugly newer Civic. Jason doesn't buy new stuff. But he is a kickass driver with RWD. FWD?
Hey, I buy new stuff! Just not very often. :D

Sadly it turns out I have to work all weekend and can't make the event. :(

I was going to bring out the Accord just for laughs ...
