Post pics and times of the Auto Cross here

[McAdam]

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....

1. the parking lot sucked. we may as well have been rally racing with all the gravel going around.

2. my tires sucked, my bad

3. 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!

Some guys from the wpg-autox.org boards were kind enough to come up some pics for me

And here is how my tires looked after the event

I got my pics back so I figured I'd post some up. If by any chance any of you winnepeg guys have anymore pics let me know.

grrrr, someone goofed on the PAX corrected time. My PAX corrected should have been somewhere in the 35 to low 36 second range. PAX correction factor for a D-stock car (280ZX is D stock) is .796. no real big deal, just kinda irks me, lol!

Do you have the results? Because I couldn't stay for the results in the end and they don't have the sccabadlands.org site updated yet.

as with the other pics i have uploaded please be gentle.
i love coming to these events and getting practice taking pics and all and gladly share, but if the server gets abused then i just remove them. does not bother me at all. be gentle and i will continue to share.

btw
this event ROCKED. i thought straightline racing was bad and fun and stuff. this was on par and mayb a little better. getting the cars coming into a turn and dig in with brakes and turning....then mashing the gas to get out of it. lots and lots of body roll.

enjoy

look its me racing! haha check out the white helmet

Awesome pics monty. I hope you don't mind that I used a few of your pics for my albums on imagestation and cardomain. Let me kno if its a problem. And are you planning on going to the GF event? Hopefully. You always take nice pics. Next time you should try and get some pics of my getting a little sideways = ), which shouldn't be a problem if the surface is like what it was like at the dome. Keep up the good work.

not a problem with you using the pics.
and yes i will be at the GF auto-X. now that i have learned a little bit from the first one i hope to improve the shots for the second one.
not quite sure what i was after when i got to the fargodome, but after awhile i decided i was going after bodyroll for one and spinouts for two.
i had never been to one of these so i was just watching and going with the flow.

we will see how the sideways and three wheel shots work in GF. it seems the lot there is alot less gravel and more straight blacktop. but not sure which part they will be using. so we will see.

while checking out the manitoba galleries i saw many pics i liked. now i just need to repeat them. as i like the severe body roll even though it does nothing for the time. and i like wheels in the air, as i do for drag racing, but i have to be at the right place at the right time for that to happen.

and again i will share those.
