looked like fun!

 

I don't have cam gears... the other stuff they don't need to know

 

No worries - your secret is safe with me.... until the day you beat me when money's on the line!!!

 

i need to watch haven't had time! how did yu place?

 

I placed 3rd in Novice, Evo_Someday placed 4th.

They haven't posted the results yet, but I think we actually beat the driver that came in first's raw times, but we lost once the index was applied. The guy that came in second was in some sort of Corvette (C5 I think). I think his raw time was much better than ours since his class has a harder handicap. I ran 60.150 and I think that he likely ran 57.6xx.

I was totally uncompetitive in my non-novice class, seeing as 4th or 5th place in the class was like a 56 or a 57 run. 4 or 5 seconds on a 60 second run is better than when I started, so I am super excited to see how I do with new tires (the edges are starting to look really poor on my rears/used to be fronts).

 

BTW - if anyone was wanting to know a good place to get the numbers and lettters made, I got mine done at a place in Carrollton. Check the website for samples and pricing.

Or you can do like some of us and just make your own with the magnetic sheets you buy at a hobby store for about $10. GoofyGrin care to provide a little DIY on how to make them?

 

step one: buy magnetic sheet
step two: print numbers (use paint.net to stretch the numbers)
step three: tape paper to magnet
step four: cut out number

Really hard

 

Waiting on the official results....

 

Here's a set of pictures from the event: http://vorshlag.smugmug.com/gallery/...83106666_b3L8n

Dennis, the autocrosspictures.net guy wasn't there since his car was leaking oil and he was asked not to come. He is tearing down the engine and transmission...

 

run 4 is why u need suspension and wider wheels

 

Very nice! I need to come punt cones with you guys sometime (Once I get my car going fast enough that is) still too slow right now.

 

I am on super stiff coilovers, running the widest tire allowed in my class (245). My tires are pretty much gone though (new tires this week). Now I'm contemplating a stiffer front roll bar... but I don't want to try and snake it in and out! You basically have to drop the front suspension to get it in and out.

Run 4's sliding was caused by me running too little tire pressure. I'd gone from 40 to 36 run 1 -> 2, then 36 to 34 2 -> 3 (which was my fastest) and then I went down a couple more PSI on run 4, and I got loose.

 

haha... pure engine speed isn't nearly as important as the grey matter between your ears.

You'd have to run SM though since you have the FP Red... But you could run really nice tires too

 

what?! I'm all stock. Look under my hood.

Oh, you mean tires like this?

Yesh. Tires like those...

But your FMIC, LICP, injectors, tune, etc. put you squarely into SM if your turbo didn't.

And I wish I owned part of that gas station... because they must roll in the dough!
