ooh they are pretty.

 

Did someone actually edit the tags again? I don't think Chu power chugging man juice was offensive. I meant he drinks a lot of those protein energy drinks. He's very manly.

 

And they work. I have them!

 

IDK, but the "Chu hates white people" tag is pretty funny. Is that true Chu, do you hate us round eye's?

 

No, I just hate you!

 

In my opinion, a Pro Solo is the most fun you can have Autoxing. It combines drag racing and Autox, you line up against someone from your class on identical courses (well almost identical) with a drag tree light, its a total rush racing against someone else at same time, reaction time is counted just like a drag race. 60' are important too, Evo's have a real advantage hooking up at the line over most other cars. The only drawback is that Pro's kill Evo's. The back to back launches will wreck drivetrains if you do not launch right. This differs slightly from drag racing because you do 4 runs back to back, everything gets real hot. So one on left one on right, then left and right again. No real time break in between runs, literally finish course and go back to the start line line. Usually there will be approx 3-4 cars in line, so you are basically constantly running. You barely have time to have someone check your air pressures in tires. Events are run this way, Friday is practice launches and get yourself organized, Sat morning you do 4 runs. Then you work, then you have lunch, then you run 4 more in afternoon and then work. Sunday is 4 runs and work, so 12 runs for the weekend. Courses are usually 30-40 second range.

Take my word for it, if you do not mind the mechanical risk to the car, you must do the Pro. Being that most of you guys drag race anyways, this should not be a problem. Twice the fun of a regular Solo event, you can bank on it..

 

Then after the event there is the Super Challenge (also a Honda Challenge but who cares about that since we are not in a Honda). That is the top finisher from each class, you then run elimination heats. In the Super Challenge its all about being consistent, you are trying to match your best run time each run. The time closest to your index time is how they judge winner, not fastest time. That is just icing on the cake, total adreline rush. Corey "Chuck Norris" Ridgik is a master. The dude constantly wins $ and tires. I mean like almost every event he is at, he is mister consistent. I know you guys know he is good, but you have to see the Super Challenge to appreciate it.

One other thing is classing of your cars, people are real serious and will look your cars up and down. If you happen to trophy in a class and are not legal for the class, you will probably be protested and disqualified. So you must know your cars class prior to coming, this is a Pro, no amateur stuff aloud! People take Autox serious when there is $ on the line, plus you will see people from all over the country, no one appreciates cheating at these Pro's or Tours. Much more serious than a local event, but that is what makes it more fun, to me anyways.

 

mike, that sounds awesome but it would suck in my case because i'd be eliminated instantly and have a short day.

 

First of all, how are you going to win at anything when you are so sure your going to lose? C'mon Man! - Man up son!

You are confused (or just being funny) no matter what you do 12 runs. They take your best time from each side and add together to determine class winner and trophies. So you would be involved all weekend, just on Sunday you would not be in the Super Challenge unless you are lucky. They also have a drawing to fill slots if for some reason they do not have enough people, then you would get to run that too. They usually raffle off thos spots, so no matter what you have a chance at everything. BTW, if you made it to the end of the super challenge that could be another 10-12 runs.
I am telling you the Pro's rock. Do not miss the opportunity to do a Pro at the Meadowlands and for that matter the tour at the Dover is a must for all you guys too. This is the first year I have had 2 events so close to my home, pumped! After you do Pro and Tour event you all will understand why I travel so far to do these events, it is addictive.

 

3day events, yikes!

 

That many launches back to back is bound to break something in an AWD car on stickies but it sounds fun anyway.

 

i have 3 autox's under my belt. it isn't a matter of maning up as it is having the actual skill and experience to be competitive. it is still fun as hell nonetheless. i just don't get caught up how well or poorly i do at this point.

if you say to do, i'll do it because i'm easily impressed and can't decide for myself

 

Hi Chu, I hope you and your brother are being good boys.
