Definitely! It was great talking to you throughout the day and I look forward to battling you at future events!

Don't forget the autocross in Eau Claire: http://myautoevents.com/pls/mae/frmE...sevent_id=9450

This is everyone's chance to run in a large lot with an awesome surface on a national-level course.

Also, there is a test and tune this weekend at Dakota County Technical College. If you want to see what autocross is like anyone and everyone is free to come watch and ride along in any car there. If you want someone (like myself or Andres) to take your car on the course for a run or two we can tech it quick and take it out. This is your opportunity to get as close to autocross as you can without driving and it's FREE to you.

Ok, total noob when it comes to autocross but I think I'll give it a whirl. Looks fun.

Since the car is modded, they'll just throw me in a different class but I'll still be able to run as a novice?

Kracka 09-04-2008 06:16 PM

Re: The Great Autocross Mega Thread!
 
Run in SI class; thats pretty much the catch-all class for beginners.

MustGoFaster 09-04-2008 08:52 PM

Re: The Great Autocross Mega Thread!
 
Yup, SI for first timers. I'm registered for the TNT, Eau Claire and MOWOG 7.

Kracka 09-07-2008 07:05 PM

Re: The Great Autocross Mega Thread!
 
Chukee_R did along with a few others on EvoMN. Please keep this thread on-topic to autocross.

Sure was! My car was a slut today, let Ryan and another autocrosser take a few runs in it.

Re: The Great Autocross Mega Thread!
 
Thank for letting me take it for a spin. I left early cause my car said it was done time. I think my front axles are dead and causing odd vibration when turning left. Must be the anti-NASCAR mod.

Congrats to Kracka for winning SI in only his third competition! On to SM for you. :) He beat an instructor in the process as well.

Andres looked odd driving something other than an Evo. :(

One more event for the year, MOWOG 9 at Midway Stadium on October 19th.

MustGoFaster 10-05-2008 06:27 PM

Re: The Great Autocross Mega Thread!
 
Good job Chris! If you look at the results you would have been 3rd in SM. (or 4th if I was in there as well)

Thanks Matt! I agree about Andres, but at least he can see over the steering wheel of this one :D

You stay in the street tire index class! I think to truly be competitive in the SM class though I would need coilovers and some R-compounds (neither of which I have plans for).

Next year I will not be in the the tire index. My car isn't quite up to the PAX factor it has. I may or may not have sticky tires. But since I'm thinking about it already...

Matt D. 10-05-2008 07:17 PM

Re: The Great Autocross Mega Thread!
 
Dudes, run in SM on street tires. The street tire class sucks if you aren't in a stock-classed car as Adam Barber, Salah and the Miatas prove time and time again. I'm doing quite well in BSP all things considered and I haven't ever thought once about adding a T to my BSP.

Do it for fun, and if by chance you are competitive then so be it.

I just plan on competing against Chris. I plan on losing often, but that's what makes it fun.

Do it already! :) You went to the novice school, you have the building blocks to learn to drive your car better. Chris has two events and the test and tune under his belt, where the hell have you been???

Re: The Great Autocross Mega Thread!
 
Quit being lazy, Zac. Get your ass out to events and help rep MitsuStyle with us!

We've lost Andres and we're losing Deutsch, so we need more Evos!

We also need more DSMs, but that's a different ball game entirely...

I call "not it" on pushing the broken ones off the course! :rollinglaugh: :D

I definatly shouldn't have gone for T-SM. But it is what it is. After I figured that out, my only goal has been fastest raw time in the class, something I know my car is capable of, I just need to get myself to that level on a consistent baisis. I have done it once or twice, and showed myself durring fun runs that I could have done it a time or two more. Next year I guess.

But in the end, I still judge my weekends by how I feel I did, as much as how the time sheets say I did.
