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.

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

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!

McAdam

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.

McAdam

And here is how my tires looked after the event

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!

McAdam

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.

http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=MOV0006772 after this one, jim hit a cone like 3rd run. Vid got cut short, but i tried

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.
