Yeah, but the way your car is now, it is for the turns.........
huh?autox is is fun no doubt. but when you figure whats a good or bad time for a certain track, its not relaly fun when you can say I run 11's, 12s etc to everybody cause your only talkin about 1 particular type of race. thats whatm akes it kinda useless unless your out to make your tires like slicks

I placed 3rd out of 7 in the gs class, not too shabby for my 1st time. I'm not sure what my best time was though. But its all good though cuz I found my new love. Auto-x is a damn good time. I'll get some pics posted up when I get them developed.

I haven't tried autocrossing, but there's got to be something to it if people give up drag racing to learn to take corners. Sure, it takes skills and money to make a car go fast in a straight line, but then you don't get to discuss fun things like camber, caster, scrub radii, anti-roll bar settings, and the like.

You know you have a good all- around car when you can kick ass on the drag strip and smoke everyone n autocross..
kinda hard to autocross a 400-500 hp car set up for drags... doesnt spool so well in low gears...
Whats next drifting?

I hope so. I got a little taste of sliding around on an actual course and I'm liking it.'91 Nissan 240sx Fastback Superhicas

well no time here as i just watched, but man that looked like alot of fun out there.
definitely a different deal that straightline accelerating.
i am at a disadvantage either way being a fat man and all. so for now i will keep on watching both kinds.
did i hear someone say Drifting? when where and what time does it start.
that is another thing i have not seen in person yet.CONGRATS to all those who beat the heck out of their cars today and still drove them away. i cannot believe how much punishment they took.

No doubt... I was thinking the same thing.

I was running GS but I had to leave before they were able to tell people their times/standings. All I know is on my first set of runs I ran a 44.936 and a 44.9?? The two times were very close.
I thought the course was fun but the surface was terrible. Talked to one of the BMW drivers from Canada, he recommended the GF event.
I knew there were a few fargostreet people there but I didn't recognize many. Anyway, I'm curious if anyone has pics or vids of my car out there, the red Mazda6 Wagon.

I ran a 45.01 or something like that. which is not too shabby for a 25 year old car riding on 10 year old suspension and 5 year old rear tires, lol! It was fun, it always is. ( this was my 4th event) only a few gripes....
-
the parking lot sucked. we may as well have been rally racing with all the gravel going around.
-
my tires sucked, my bad
-
can someone explain to me how the PAX times work? I mean, my PAX corrected time was something like 44.00 second, while the guy in the brand new mustang GT ran a 40.0 lap and his CORRECTED PAX time was something ridiculious like 35 seconds?>!? how does he get 4 more seconds knocked off of his time (compared to mine) when he has 2x the HP, 30 years of suspension and engineering updates and a brand new car? I thought it was supposed to factor OUT the car??
otherwise, awesome event!
