My latest Autocross Vid :)

[piknockout]

From the Philly Region event this past weekend (8-12-06) at Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen, MD. I finally have the suspension settings balanced again and the car feels amazing! I'll have more videos for the rest of the season now that the wedding is over with. And if I win out for the remaining 5 events, I'll take the STX championship. Wish me luck! :D

nice job, but boy thats alot of body roll...

[piknockout]

Umm...at what point? If you're referring to the "Peeing Dog", that's just a natural nature of a rear beam suspension, not "body roll". Only time I get any kind of real body roll movement is under extreme turning/braking at the same time, such as the hard left before the finish. And even that isn't that much.

Is this you?

If so, I have a bunch of pictures of your car from the Atco Auto-x's.

[piknockout]

Yeah that's me! I'll PM you about the pics, thanks. ;)

[US_R33]

[piknockout]

Thanks Dan. :D

Check out the Philly SCCA forums and there are a couple of guys who posted up pictures. See you on Sunday, and don't forget the brake lines! ;)

[US_R33]

I'll try to bring my "A" game to this next event. I left over a second out there last time because I wasn't focused (I blame it on my parents coming out to see what its all about ;) ).

Maybe if Fineburg doesn't show up again I can claim first this time...

[TROLL]

whens the fun going down next time? i want to play...

[piknockout]

This Sunday at Warminster Community Park. ;)

Yeah, I need to bring my "A" game also. Last event I was in 1st up until Andre's last run and he finally pulled that clean run and beat me by 0.06 seconds! Stupid WRX's with AWD on wet pavement! :mad:

Of course, I'm sure it would have helped if I hadn't spun out on 3 out of 5 runs. :o

[TROLL]

aw no! i like that setup and its really close, but i'm gonna be knee deep in a tranny install on sunday. blast! i just got an alignment and some summer rubber on so you'll see me soon enough. its time to get her back out there and rip around a few cones.

[piknockout]

Your tranny or someone else's? If it's someone else's, tell them you'll be back in a few hours. :D

[TROLL]

mine... haha. adding an extra gear to the equation ;)

[piknockout]

You know, you could just do it another weekend. :)


Good luck with the install then and hope to see you out at one of the remaining events. ;)

I dont think I ever sent you your pictures. See, I told you I'm forgetful. :o

[piknockout]

You sent them the first time, but they didn't come through. I'll PM you a different email to try. ;)

[TTsupra911]

I remember that day, teh last tight left into right then finish was a little nasty at times. I'm assuming your going to be @ Boeing this Sunday

[FASTERTHANU]

sweet vid and ride! ::thumbsup:: whats up TAGTEAM

[piknockout]

Yeah, I'll be at Boeing this Sunday. Not my favorite location, but I need the class points. ;)

[psushoe]

Boing! Hehehe, it's the sound your car makes when it goes across all the bumps in that lot.

[piknockout]

Yeah, no joke. But it's all good, better than sitting at home not doing anything. :D

[Crzyguy972]

def cool video, wish i had the skills to create vids and such

[Buster]

Dude we were parked next to eachother all day. How did you do. I had a crapass best of 42.3? Appearantly Boeing is not the best beginner course.

[piknockout]

Hey, what's up! I wish you had said something we could've chatted!

My best time was a 36.533 on my last run. I coned my first two, and then dropped a couple of 36.5's. I'll have some video and pics up in the next few days.

And don't worry man, you have to start somewhere. You've got the right car to compete in STX. It's just a matter of time. ;)

BTW, results are up from Boeing. ---> http://www.phillyscca.com/solo2/results/2006/SO100806.TXT

[Snoozie]

I took a lot of pics of Sunday's event. Hopefully some of them will be worth posting up!

[piknockout]

Oh heck yeah, let me know if you have any of mine by chance. I loved to get them from you. :)

[wrx_snobordr]

I want to try auto-x one day. What is required besides a helmet? How much is it?

[Snoozie]

Oh heck yeah, let me know if you have any of mine by chance. I loved to get them from you. :)

I did take pics of you cause I recognized the car, but it wasnt my camera, it was jspek's. So as soon as he goes through the pics, I guess he will post them :)

I think all you need is a helmet, and it is like $35.

i think if it's your 1st time you only have to pay $25 then after that it's $35.

[piknockout]

And if you become an SCCA member ($70 a year) then each event is $25. You also don't NEED a helmet as they have loaner helmets on site. The minimum helmet requirement is an M2000 helmet, but if I were you I would pick up an SA2000 helmet as it meet track day requirements also.

And can't wait to see the pics, hurry up dammit! :p
