Autocross fun!

This past Saturday I took the RA autocorssing for the first time. What a blast! Best time was 53.520, which placed me 43 of I think 70. Pretty happy with that!

One thing I can say for sure...the General UHPs are NOT meant for this! Watch the vid, and see just how much those sidewalls roll, even at 44psi!

Once you have caught the performance driving bug, give lapping at a proper race track a shot. It's a lot of fun as well.

Yep, GoPro HD2. Shot at 720p/60, but edited ad uploaded to 720p/30.

I'm trying to resist the bug for mods, and as it is, I am planning on taking the car off the road for the summer (just use the bike). it is mighty tempting to keep going though...hahah!

Nice videos man. Just picked up the GoPro HD2 Mosports package today. Just fiddling with it for now/testing. Love it. Thing is cool. Forsure worth the money.

Why did you film in 720/60 why not 1080/30?

Yeah man Im the red car. couldnt run I was pissed. I got a set of 17x9 +45 with 245/40 R compounds. Normally run 18x9 +45 with 245/40 for streets so I figured np. However once I put them on due to the 9'' wide half inch smaller diamiter it rubbed on a part of my suspension. Metal on metal. So yeah not going to work. Going on a hoist today to get it fixed/modified .

So then I figured np I'll put street back on, change classes and go but once I took off the rims again my lug nuts and studs were stripped really bad. so I had to unregister and go to CT down the road to get car fixed lol.

Next time I will be ready I'll see you at the next provincial. You going to picton this weekend? or maybe I was thinking DDT time attack. Looking forward to it. Nice pics too

i was parked a couple cars down from you, i drive the matrix, i have a stock lancer for DD and lurk around here but autox talk always gets me going

sucks man, i overheard you werent running but then saw you the rest of the day and as wondering what happened - didnt wanna go poke around and start asking questions


i had the same issue last season when i bolted up my 17x8 rpf1's with 245/40's and ended up missing an event cause my all season streets arent worth racing on - 5mm spacers fixed me up

i wont be at Picton but i usually run all the PITL events and then a couple TLMC

i stole the pics from the CASC forum
