    Ran my 1st Autocross of 2012 today

    How quickly four weeks passes. Shuffling springs and sway bars took a day. Adding parallel brake proportioning valves to the four channel brake system, involved lots of sorting through non-tapered NPT fittings from three different manufacturers, and took two weeks (if nothing decides to leak...

    Ran my 1st Autocross of 2012 today

    No, not quite that bad. We talked about the difference between having a mass produced car where nothing is adjustable, and building a car that has everything adjustable. If it was a car they made everything for, I could have gone out and bought adjustable everything, and five or six years ago...

    Ran my 1st Autocross of 2012 today

    You surprised me. Not a mention before Sunday. Glad to see you there, not happy with how I did at the event. It felt like the course from Event 3 had a very wide groove that I was able to throttle steer around with confidence. For event 4, it felt like the groove was a knife edge that I kept...

    When is the first local autocross event this year?

    It's really hard to predict if you will drive average, above average, or below average on a given day. And harder to predict how another person will drive. I had one good course walk after setup. I drove my best time on my first run and spent the remaining four attempts trying in vane to...

    When is the first local autocross event this year?

    NO! Not the dang Ringer! Everyone here knows Andy is an Evo driving school instructor, right? In the second to last event last year, you had the Ringer, and he eaked out one last run without touching the brakes (and spinning) to end any hope of taking the event points. I'll have to get Joe...

    When is the first local autocross event this year?

    Jeez, Mike. We joke around at the races, but everything is friendly. This reads kind of harsh. [Not even credit for finishing above the Mustang at the first event with a four cylinder, front driver.] Maybe it's not the same being the guy who's supposed to loose miserably, and manages not to...
