You probably would, I'm not a good autocrosser. Thats the first time I have autocrossed in 1.5 years. I think travis and I were both making a ton of mistakes that day. I know I was. I need more practice but I just don't have the time..........

in all seriousness though if you can make it into town for that weekend that event should be a blast.

if you're beating travis or even with him, you will be right around where i usually am in times. which pisses me off, because the last time travis beat me by .5 or so on all seasons.

hey guys...hoped no one forgot about me....dental school is absolutely kicking my *** right now...between the countless number of tests every week and the workload, i have no time to do anything anymore.....i wish i could make the next meet on the 20th...but i realized i have 5 tests the following week....go figure....maybe another time i guess..but on a good note..i got to play with naawzzz...one of my labs last week was seeing how nawwz affects the body...so basically we had to remember its chemical interaction/mechanism in the body (which sucked), but the cool part was sitting in the chair and taking big inhales of it..hahaha

Oh i agree! Oh wait your not talking about the nos! I guess thats why i never made it thru.

Looking over the times now that you guys brought it up. . What the heck where you doing out there? They usually say add about 2 sec for slicks. i'd say about 4-5 sec behind would have been about right. You guys should come for a ride along next time.

Maybe you need new bushings!

Mine was a combination of over-driving some and just not quite figuring out the correct line - which happens (im learning - only my 2nd autox), we aren't all seasoned vets

but thanks for making me feel even horrible about the runs - I will just call it an off day and move on to the next event

Update: Does not look like getting tuned today. Junk *** dirt track eclipse had a turbo kit put on it, and they pushed it ahead to be picked up today.

hopefully this doesn't take forever

I don't know about travis but I couldn't even stay on course two of my runs let alone run the best line. I'm too used to drag racing. Its much easier for simple minded folk like myself.
