Electrical system chose not to charge the battery. Probably related to the rear O2 sensor wire dropping onto the exhaust late last week and frying some stuff. It should be sorted in plenty of time for the next event.

What a fucking weekend...


Thank you EVERYONE who helped me keep things moving along this weekend! We had more than our fair share of problems, but everybody pulled together and made it happen. Not once did I turn to someone for help and get a negative response.

Well, you should have heard the negative responses I was mentioning to myself yesterday as I was coding the website up to include boilerplate text on every solo event with the schedule info. :lol:

I only understand about 1/3 of what you just said, but I'll take it as you were doing something unpleasant, in order to help me out... so THANKS! ;)

I thought i fixed my power steering issues with a new pump, but i was getting slight slight cut out ... maybe i should have flushed all the fluid ? or at least changed the in line filter?? :?:

mine was directly after the non directional slalom and didn't affect my time (my poor driving did that) :lol:

Let the video posting begin! Here is Robyn attacking the course!

And one of me attempting to attack, steering like a bus driver in the process.

Rounds 2 and 3 results posted.

Awesome courses both days this weekend. I had a great time!

TTOD for door slammers on Sunday! :banana::disco:

:unamused:


Stupid cones getting in my way... :mad:

:lol: I got really lucky with both you and Joe coning away those fast runs. I appreciate it. :P:D

I saw Joe i believe it was, very sideways at turn 2 , almost worked out for him but not quite...

i think you should up the rear sway a little more and enter some drift comps ! :)

Yup he just clipped that pointer cone, I was sitting at the start watching it as well.

I probably could, tighten up the sway, lock the diff in the rear and go. Kevin M. was in the car on my first run for a dorifto on the back sweeper, but I couldn't keep it together and spun. It was actually kind of funny, as one of the drift guys that were out there came up to me after the event asking if I was into drifting. :huh::oops:

Man, I was on course for that spin, it was HUGE! haha. Fun to watch though.

I rather enjoyed that run. The part of my brain saying "gee, I am pretty sure Kev's coming in pretty hot on cold tires, and we're going back asswards towards the bleachers" was competing well with the other part of my brain going "OMGWE'REGONNADIERUNRUNRUNOMGWTFBBQ!"

Hey, is anyone autocrossing this weekend?

Cory, do you know who the event chairs are? Looking forward to it.

Yup. I will be there.

I believe Dewey/Cory are the chairs this weekend.

Yep, it'll be Dewey and I as chairs this weekend.


In honor of last weekend, the upcoming course is Catalunya...!

Cool, I should be out a bit early Saturday to help with whatever. Can't wait

Round 4 results posted.

Thanks Mike!

What a weekend! "Mini Catalunya" will DEFINITELY be going into the database to be used again in the future! It was a fantastically challenging and FAST course! Dewey did an amazing job putting it together!

Thanks again everyone who helped out this weekend!

Awesome weekend, one of the best events in a long while. Thanks guys

Anyone have results for me?

Had a great time this weekend. Great job on the courses. Challenging but really fun!

yes that course was a blast. i kept making different mistakes each run through and had basically the same time every run. my last run was a re-run and my tires were too hot, but i don't like making everyone working the course wait just so they can cool down. tires definitely lost a little grip with the back to back and didn't quite stick at the same speeds . stupid understeer. lost about a 1/2 second on my last run but it did give Jeana twice the rides so it worked out pretty darn good

Laptop crash during the last run group is requiring an audit and manual entry of a bunch of times. I should have it ready for you in a couple hours.

Man, I'm guessing it's pretty messed up, I'm assuming that moth I found in the timing box may not have had anything to do with the crash. Who knows. Hopefully we kept good paper notes.

Did you take the moth out of the box!? Who did you think was monitoring all the timing controls in there? No wonder it stopped working.

Thanks Kevin. Results are up now.

Don't thank me yet. One way or another the file I sent Mike apparently has missing runs and entries. I don't have the data with me tonight so I will have to sort it out in the morning.

Looks fine to me :p

Sweet won it with my 4 cone run. Ha ha

Let me drive your car in class!! :P

Super excited to come out and run in July!! It's been way too long since i've been out there!!

Round 6 results are up. Cory, well done. Your raw times look great!

Round 7 results posted.

Wow. What a day. I don't recall placing that high in raw time before with the mini.

That was retard fast, even for you Matt. Makes me a little mad that I coned away a run that would have beaten you. :P

I coned away a run that would have still been a bit slower :( guess I need to look at buying a mini now :p

or chair an event just so i can design a course that's all hair pins... lol

I'm just trying to silence the haters that say I only care about PAX! :lol: it won't work though.

And then this happened... credit to Tim for the pic

HOLY JESUS GOD. :lol: :eek:

I need that in poster size for my garage!

Me too... E-mailing Tim now...!

:mog:

Grip much?

Cory, you had to one-up my 3-wheel motion! well done

Also, I found this magnet on my car at the last event. Very well done

Wow, is Pat F. Riley back in town? :lol:

One might say it's... MPREZIV.

Rebound damping much?

There's a HUGE dip in the blacktop down on that end of the property, and there was a fast sweeping corner that apexed right on top of it. It just THROWS the inside of the car skyward. I do want to replace my coil-overs with something that handles up-sets like that more appropriately.

Same spot, similar corner, 6 years ago, Eric Bennett (QKSubi) runs up to me after a few runs in the rain and tells me I was entirely off the ground hitting that bump...!

You would think, right? This reminded me of the old PFR days, where ever bad idea we had got placed on a magnet! :lol:
