We should almost just hold a drift event there, haha.

Jeikun 2009-10-04 05:08 PM

Good pics! Makes me want to get out there.

When's the next autocross? And would anyone be interested in spotting for me so I can take some pictures?

Gotta love the rock bouncing off the camera at 0:20 on the second one. :lol:

Wait, what? Autox? Truckee? This past weekend? Good thing I was out fishing on the river drinking beer bored out of my mind! Since when do you guys have events out here? Tell me there's more.

cody 2009-10-05 10:34 AM

^This was our first and I would think that we'll have more next year, but the last event of the year is later this month at RFR's "Peanut".

Great pics and vids, Matt! :thumbup:

Yeah, my buddy's on Truckee Fire there at the airport and called me up, telling me there's a bunch of subarus railing around the tarmac.....I was down at the river, getting snowed on, not catching any fish. Funny. Hopefully more events next year. I might even quit talking about it and run some events. How was the surface on tire wear and grip? Seems like there was some dirtness.

cody 2009-10-05 12:21 PM

Which surface? ...there were several. :P The two major surfaces were slick pavement and gravely pavement. On Saturday, the gravely pavement offered very little traction which resulted in some awesome drifting. :D The slick surface offered much better traction, but according to Jim, on Friday, it was the opposite. Not sure about Sunday since I stayed home.

Kevin M 2009-10-05 03:16 PM

The "good" pavement wasn't that great on sunday because of the cold, but that would be the case with just about any surface. On saturday it was pretty nice- I wouldn't mind running events on a surface like that pretty often.

Did you paint you car Van? It looks good.

BOO 2009-10-05 10:03 PM

How did you guys like this when compared to the one out at Stead?

Kevin M 2009-10-05 10:10 PM

It's not as good as Stead IMO, but only because the area we can use is a little smaller, and it's a bit of a drive from Reno. But I was pretty happy with the site and would like to go back.

MikeK 2009-10-06 09:22 AM

The light poles in the videos would make me nervous.

Kevin M 2009-10-06 09:24 AM

They weren't really an issue. It would be extremely difficult to unintentionally hit one.

MikeK 2009-10-06 09:25 AM

It's difficult to unintentionally do anything.

cody 2009-10-06 10:00 AM

Tell that to Murphy and his damn law.

left footed whooten 2009-10-06 10:40 AM

Hey, we got a nice backdrop out here for autoxing. Nice dog walk area 300yds away, Peluso's Apizza, 50-50 Brewery, Blue Coyote, 7-11 all right there...everything except gas...

ScottyS 2009-10-13 04:04 PM

That looks awesome.

van 2009-10-13 05:53 PM

my run sucked and smoke filled my car as the cones I carried 2/3rds of the run burnt under my car. Billowing smoke from the shifter makes you panic. I need to post a pic of that cone I destroyed

Thanks.

Holy shit Van, I didn't recognize your car. Nice work!

I'll be in Reno next season so there will be another GC in the bunch ;)
