some pics from ice racing sunday:

(IBcommentsaboutmidgetdriving)


simultaneous drift with one of the evos back on the practice course!!




they set up a new course with no snowbanks (woot) in Hebron because I guess the Bristol police harassed them last time about EMS's and stuff. The conditions were good early on but turned very sloppy/slushy later in day. I got 7 runs in which was awesome because only 25 or so cars showed up: 2 evos and 3 subarus (including myself and my friend Jon)

 

hot **** eric!

 

Nice pics, Eric. That looks like a much much better course than we had, both grip- and risk-wise.

Sorry I hadn't posted pics earlier...here are some:

My sub-$20 camera mount and HD Camera:


The waterproof camera and Panavise vacuum mount on Dex's car:




PROOF!!








*sigh* Dexters has a fail...




How happy is this guy?!?




Oleg, gettin' the tail out:


Brilliant...






This white RS was killing it for most of the day, then he had sort of a major run-in with the snowbanks and seemed to wreck both bumpers...

 

Looked like it was a fun time.

 

If you want to get the car to rotate during auto-x, then a little toe out in the front will help- it will also make your steering turnin crisper.

As far as camber, it really depends on how hard you drive the car. The harder you drive, the more you'llneed to keep the proper contact patch. Then, I'd run about 1 degree less in the back than in the front. That will again help with rotation since your front wheels will have better contact than your rear ones. Again, that will be fun for real auto-x, but it may be a little twitchy on the track so be careful.

 

I am not sure why but from what i read a lot of evo AX guys don't run toe, anywhere. Not sure why.

 

hey guys
feels like i havent been on here in forever!
my spring install went great! im happy with the handleing and i dont look like im monstertrucking as much as i was before.
i hope i can make it up to the next meet!

 

He is around. Was on PM with him yesterday.

 

<---is jealous you have your springs installed. I've been putting it off and putting it off. That's it, next warm weekday we have it's getting done. I hope.

 

Yea I talked to him yesterday. He went to florida for acouple days. Can't wait to get my parts now lol.

 

neither do the subaru guys.....

 

mikie- I am bringing my stock exh manifold with me tomorrow. Can you work your magic on porting it for me? I can compensate you with beer and back rubs k?

 

haha you didn't do ANYTHING normal to the subie community did you? Then again be careful with mikies suspension advise, you may end up sideways on an offramp looking at the apex. I warn you not to lift.

 

those are words to live by. <3 and by live, i mean keep you from death.

 

i think this calls for a reminder pic
