warminster is fun because its a long fast track (old runway). last time the lotus's were getting up to 70mph!

[NOPSTNS]

thats not fun....the tight and challenging courses are best!

anyone kno whats ripken like? iv been to boeing once and warminster 100 times....is it fast like warminster or slow and tight like boeing?

i prefer boeing...

[piknockout]

Ripken is a very nice lot. If you like Boeing, you'll like Ripken much better. Ripken is kind of in between a Boeing and Warminster lot. The layout of the lot allows for course elements not available at Boeing or Warminster.

Don't forget about Autocrosser's Inc. (www.autocrossersinc.org). They run all events at Ripken Stadium on the following dates:

August 19th
October 20th
November 4th
November 10th


I promise it's a good lot. :wink:

There's an average of more than one event per week, and they're all within two hours of each other (max)

[psushoe]

Ripken ftw! :)

[TTsupra911]

Ripken ftw! :)

exactly. Plus Ripkin is only a 20 minute longer drive... kinda :lol:

[piknockout]

Wish I could be at Ripken this weekend. :mad:


So Aaron and Adrian, when are you guys coming down for a D.C. event. Now that is some fun. Think Ripken times five. :wink:

[Charged SVTF]

Anyone going to run this Saturday at SJR-SCCA? We got 7 Runs in two weeks ago on a Sunday. This is the first Saturday run for them I believe.

[TROLL]

annnnd sticky. like tires.

[Cardriverx]

Wish I could be at Ripken this weekend. :mad:

I'm thinking I'm going to make it down for the 8/12 one. What day and time did you say I need to be sitting by my computer ready to register? So Aaron, that leaves you, come on you know you wanna go

[slc14]

i wanna run this weekend but there's no way i can hang on stock tires and suspension in SM. suspension, sway, and struts are in the mail and r-comps in the making though.

[piknockout]

You may not be able to hang, but any experience you get now will make you even faster when you get the other go-fast parts. Trust, it's still worth going. :wink:


Adrian, if you plan to come down to the 8/12 event, you need to be logged in to www.dlbracing.com a little before 8pm on Sunday August 5th with registration opening at 8pm. It will probably fill up by 8:20-8:30pm. If you can't get in initially, get on the wait list as you'll probably still get in as people drop out who are season subscribers. And Aaron, you should try and make it down for this one. :-p

Very Very True. I am in the same boat you are, well minus buying suspension and R compounds lol. But hell, its still fun no matter where I place. But drive hard anyways. I still have not finished last when I have gone to the small SJR-SCCA meets. Haven't had the oppurtunity to get out to Boeing or Westministers or Ripkin. I am afraid of my car breaking out there and not being able to get it back home in the same day.

[piknockout]

Then perhaps you should do a better job of putting your car together. :-p

[Charged SVTF]

Wow, look out, no need to flame me. I am sensitive lol. Aaron saw my piece of ****. I almost cried when I saw how nice his was.

Trust me, I wish I could turn my daily into an AutoX/Track king. Just hard to do with only $400 a week right now. Still searching for good work besides this **** job. This place is about to go under. So I do not have the money to invest into my car besides gas.

I seriously need to do the Timing belt, rotors, and pads. Also have a hung caliper. If it breaks locally, i can get it back to my friends shop and piece her back together. Its kinda hard to get my buddy and his trailer to go an hour or farther away.

I am already jealous of the time, parts, and other investments yall guys get to make towards the cars and the track. Dont need to smother it in my face butt monkey :eek:

[redwrxwagon02]

timbo u lied auto x is on saturday not sunday

[Charged SVTF]

No I said to you last night that it was this Saturday. And the last one was on a Sunday, that most of them are on Sundays. I said this is the first Saturday event i believed for the SJR-SCCA at camden county college. Figured it was important to say Saturday since you couldnt come to the sunday events the past two times.

I would never lie to you hunny.

[TTsupra911]

:thumbup:I'm just hoping I'm actually at my place in time to register then. Time to check and see if my phone will load up the page...

You do know I was joking...right? :bigeek:

[Charged SVTF]

I quote myself. "Sensitive".


Yea but I have a sense of humor too and know your joking. But figured I would fill you in on my situation for AutoX. Otherwise you would wake up with a blue svt focus versus a yellow SE-R

[redwrxwagon02]

aww thanks shnookums i misheard you then

ill definately bethere on saturday

[Charged SVTF]

nice!

[psushoe]

I'm planning to be at both SJR and Philly this weekend, but that's a tough sell with the wife. Philly will win out if it comes down to one. I'll look into the WDCR event. I want to... depends on what else is on the list and prior commitments. I may substitute it for the SJR event.

[piknockout]

I promise you you'll have A LOT more fun...trust me. :wink:

[TTsupra911]

I may not be making it down to Ripkin this weekend now. :mad: But there's no way I'm going to miss the DC event

[piknockout]

Sweet, hope to see you there Adrian...and Aaron. :wink:

[Sleeper]

I've never autoxd before. Im thinking about checking out philly this weekend. My laser is pretty heavily modified for drag (built motor, cams, decent size turbo, KYB AGX/Ebiach combo, full cage etc etc), what class would I be in and would I have a frikin chance in hell at not coming in last in the class Id be in?

The Laser would be in Street Mod (SM) however the nice thing about Philly region is that they run a separate class just for novices. You would then be competing against driver's with only a few event's under their belts or a first time driver like yourself. I recommend coming out and giving it a shot, you'll have a blast down at Ripken. Also why not bring the Evo out instead?

[NOPSTNS]

tru dat, id rather rock a stock evo on my first autox event then a full on drag car. if somethings set uop for drag god only knos whats its like in the twisties.....

im skippin the next few runs for phillyscca due to unforseen health circumstances. im DEF goin to ripken before the end of the autox season. lukcily for me they run ripken in october as well. so all i kno is i want to run boeing warminster and ripken once more b4 i switch to the "winter" tires i will rock till till the spring.

hope to see u nissan bitches soon!

[Sleeper]

Well, the Evo isnt stock, as a matter of fact it is wayyyy overpowered for an autox. 626whp and a turbo that builds boost at ~4500rpms isnt going to be very controllable in a tight course. Road racing, it would do awesome but Im not there yet.

The laser dynod last weekend at 400whp and has a much more capable turbo for midrange and low end torque. The full drag setup is actually sitting on the shelf so I think it would be a lot more fun in an autox.

As far as the twisties, it is pretty solid having a full 8pt in it. Body flex is minimal and the suspension is pretty tight. The KYB/AGX combo is what a lot of DSM'ers run when they cant afford a coil over setup. I dont think it would be too sloppy if I can get a decent set of tires for the event. My BFG drag radials definately wont cut it lol.

Im going to try to make it out to embaress myself if I can convince my GF to let me come out and play saturday and sunday since I want to go to the CF car show sunday.

One question though, what time do these autox's start/end? Thanks!

[psushoe]

Looks like I will be taking saturday off and doing some stuff around the house, but I will be at ripken on Sunday. I will also be making a trip to DC in a week :mrgreen:

We may have to work out a caravan down for the DE/PA folks if I don't go down the night before.

[den9]

how many passes do u get, and how many seconds is it usually

[jb1830]

how many passes do u get, and how many seconds is it usually

It's different everytime...How long it takes depends on the track...I think usually in the mid 30sec range...I know some tracks are longer (Warminster). And the number of passes usually isn't less than 3...depends on the time and number of people. We ran 5 at Boeing last weekend.

[piknockout]

For Boeing around 30 seconds, for Ripken around 45 seconds, and for Warminster and D.C. around 60 seconds. Usually you can expect to get at least 4 runs, sometimes 5 and rarely 3. But I promise you for that 60 seconds or less...you're free. :-p Trust me, it's the most fun you'll ever have going under 60mph. :wink:

Aaron, you should definitely come down the night before and spend the night before D.C. I'll talk to Karen later to see what she thinks about it.

[den9]

i did the autox at waterfest it was def fun, but for 40 bucks for 3-5 runs, id rather just drive around parking lots or back roads. ill put my flame suit on now

[piknockout]

To each their own I guess. I'll put my flamethrower away for now. :wink:

[TTsupra911]

Just completed my registration for the DC event. Now I gotta figure out if I'm going to drive down Saturday night or leave early Sunday. Either way Josh and Aaron I'll see you two on Sunday.

[psushoe]

Nice! Gonna be a fun day :)

[piknockout]

I kept checking to make sure you two got it. I promise you guys are going to have an absolute blast! And Adrian, if you want to meet up with us around Columbia and follow us down let me know. :wink:

[TTsupra911]

Yeah I'll just meet you two in Columbia. Josh just shoot me a PM with where you want to meet up and what time I need to be down there. :thumbup:

[piknockout]

FYI, the D.C. event this weekend will be held on the same lot as the D.C. Pro Solo. This lot has more elevation change than the one that is usually used, which should make for a more interesting course. I also think the lot is a tad bit smaller than the lot that's usually used, but I think will be more interesting with tons of camber change and more hilly.

[psushoe]

Ooo, that's going to be awesome! I remember walking that pro solo course(s)... something else to learn about :)

[piknockout]

Run order for this Sunday Aaron and Adrian. :wink:

The run groups for this Sunday's autocross will be as follows:

A CS, SS, STS, ES
B AS, GS, STU
C AM, BM, CM, DM, EM, FM, FP, FSAE, FSP, HS, SM2, BSP
D ASP, DSP, EP, ESP, FS, GP, STX, XP
E BS, CSP, DS, STS2
F CP, DP, F125, SM

BSP moved from A -> C
STS2 moved from D -> E

F: runs 1st, works 2nd
D: runs 2nd, works 3rd
E: runs 3rd, works 1st
C: runs 4th, works 5th
A: runs 5th, works 6th
B: runs 6th, works 4th

[TTsupra911]

:thumbup: I'm really looking forward to getting down there. Funny part is that it isn't bothering me knowing that I need to wake up at 4:30 on Sunday to get down there...

[piknockout]

Well, you'll be done early so you can head back pretty early and take a nap. It'll be worth it. :mrgreen:

[TTsupra911]

^ exactly what I plan on doing

[TTsupra911]

So yesterday I woke up @ 4:30 to go down and run with the DC Region @ FedEx feild. I had a great time once again and the experience gained due to the off camber corners and elevation changes was great. With the Philly region you are usually able to see the majority of the course from one spot, not so with the DC Region :thumbup:. Made it interesting not being able to see the next gate at times until 20' before you crest the hill.
I personally had a heck of a time getting any sort of traction out of my tires by the end of the run. The Azenis where just to hot and would not grip. This is mostly due to the off camber corners. My passenger side tires where both extremely hot, while I couldn't get my driver's side rear to heat up at all. My quickest run ended up being a 45.2, but I coned it away at some point in time and stood on a 46.x.
Both Josh and Aaron placed respectivly in their classes, although Josh will still claim that he drove slow. Josh thanks again for inviting me down, I'll have to try and make it down more often.

[piknockout]

BTW, results are now up. :wink:

http://solo.wdcr-scca.org/results/20070812.php


Glad to see that you and Aaron made it down. It was a little shorter than the typical Fed Ex courses though, which was a little unfortunate. Usually the courses are in the high 50 second range instead of the low 40 second range. But definitely still a very fun course. You gotta love all the elevation changes, makes for an interesting course. Video will be up tonight.

Best run was a 44.2xx, good enough for 2nd in STX out of 11. My fastest run was a 43.8xx, but hit a mysterious cone, and then continued to go slower on each subsequent run. But most importantly, I was able to get a 4pt. advantage in the season standings after the event. The guy I was tied with for first came in 5th yesterday, so I've got some breathing room. I still need to win at least one of the next two events to come close to clinching the season, so I've got some work to do still. What's nice about our class this year is that nobody has won 1st place twice this year, and yesterday's top 6 were within 0.6 seconds. Definitely a nice competitive class.

And congrats to Aaron on his 3rd place SM finish out of 16 drivers. Adrian, you're only a set of R-compounds and a little more experience away from beating him. Trust me, he's not that good. :-p

[psushoe]

^^ Lol, thanks for the vote of confidence, Josh. I had fun, and I'm glad I pulled a top 5 finish. I could have broken 41.x if I hadn't screwed up that last run. I pulled a 42.0 while completely over driving a few sections. Oh well, next time :)

[piknockout]

Ugh, I watched the video last night and I left tons of time out there. Watching my third run, I was totally on point and it would have been my money run...except for braking late cresting at the hill after the lane changes and going off course. If I hadn't botched that I think I had a mid 43.xx that would have pulled out the win. Oh well, better luck next time I guess.

[psushoe]

There's the could'a would'a should'a. We need to stop doing that :-p

[piknockout]

[Scapegoat]

can't wait. I just got my SCCA membership car in the mail last week...

time to turn the boost back down and hit the autox events

[piknockout]

They're offering cars now? All I got was a card. :(




J/K :-p

[Scapegoat]

it came with the $25 registration fee to get more people under 25 y/o interested in racing.... :eek:

Camden Community College..... :bigeek:

[piknockout]

Yes...although I think it's technically Camden County Community College.

Details:

Directions to Camden County Community College - Blackwood Campus
From Camden/Philadelphia:

Take Route 42 South. Exit at the Blackwood/Clementon exit.
Turn right at the bottom of the exit ramp (onto Blackwood/ Clementon road)
Turn right at the first traffic light (onto Erial Road).
Follow Erial Road to the second traffic light and turn right (onto Little Gloucester Road).
Continue straight past the next traffic light. The college is on the right side.

[Scapegoat]

isn't that a little... dangerous lol

[piknockout]

Nope, not at all. It's not in Camden, NJ. Now that would be dangerous! :eek:

[Scapegoat]

ok sweet... so that makes about 40 local autocross events....

I'm gonna need new tires before the end of the year...

[K-Rex]

I've been interested in doing a few AutoX events because I see it as a safe and legal way to have some fun.

However, I have little racing experience and a virtually stock Forester XT. Now I'm not so concerned about looking like a noob (I'm too old to care), but what I don't want to do is come waste time that could be used for more enthusiastic competitors.

Do they run in groups based on experience so for people like me I can just come out an have a good time or is this full on competition and probably not a good idea for me to compete?

come out. you're not wasting anyones time.

You pick 1 of 4 heats to run in. You get 4 runs, everyone goes through one by one, you go again once everyone goes. You also work one of the heats, this is usually resetting up cones when BMW drivers plow through them.

PS: I've only done one event... don't worry about wasting time. Everyone starts a noob at some point and screws up and does stupid ****, etc etc etc. No run is a wasted run, its all learning.

[K-Rex]

Where do I need to look to get started?

[Scapegoat]

http://phillyscca.com/ :)

[piknockout]

Links depend on where you want to run.

www.phillyscca.com
www.sjr-scca.com
www.scca-susq.com
www.wdcr-scca.com

Forget the one for North New Jersey though. When you come out to the event, just sign up in Novice class. Make sure you get an instructor on your first two runs at least, it will be a huge help. And you're wasting nobody's time, all of us started as novices at one point. :wink:

[Scapegoat]

Speaking of novice... how do they feel about someone running in the novice class their first season?

My car would fall into the modified class due to the minor power adders, and I don't feel as if I'd have any chance of hanging in that class. Maybe next year...

[piknockout]

The Novice class is an indexed class. You would still run your normal class (SM for example), and times would be adjusted based on the PAX indexes to determine the winner in Novice. It's just like Pro class and Ladies class.

[Scapegoat]

awesome, now I won't feel bad running novice all season...

[a-m-m]

Forget the one for North New Jersey though.

alright so im deff gonna try to head to the e-town auto-x all the time but where do i register and how do i go about it???

[piknockout]

Also forgot, www.autocrossersinc.org and they will be hosting their five events at Fed Ex Field in D.C. Man I love that lot, and get to run on it 14 times this year including WDCR season, A.I. season, and the D.C. Pro. :mrgreen:

[a-m-m]

alright so im deff gonna try to head to the e-town auto-x all the time but where do i register and how do i go about it???

Keep your eye on the autoX4u site. They usually post up a link to pre-register a week prior to each event.

[sisforsurfing]

Pre-registration for Englishtown on March 22nd is open. Go to http://www.autox4u.com/nnjr.htm and scroll down to the schedule, there's a link.
My car is in full winter mode with no parts installed but I'll be there regardless... see you guys out there.

[thewake]

SJR's first event registration is also open. Here is the link: http://www.sjr-scca.org/solo.html for all the events. The initial announcement is here: http://www.sjr-scca.org/forums/ipb/index.php?showtopic=446

[piknockout]

Yeah, I gotta wait until April 6th unfortunately. But I'm going to try and the the 40 run test and tune at D.C. on the 13th and then the first points event is on the 20th. I think I pretty much have an event scheduled for every other weekend through October. It "should" be a good year. :mrgreen:

[alwaysinboost]

I'll see ya'll in the 22nd also. the EVO is in full winter mode with blizzacks and all, should be a good time :)

[Roto]

My car is still all over the shop floor...look like I won't be broken in 'till mid-april....

[Scapegoat]

I don't see a philly scca region under club memberships on the website... do I sign up under jersey?

[Scapegoat]

another question :)

I have a wastegate, boost controller, fpr mod, and a map clamp... would this put me into street modified or street prepared?

[piknockout]

I would say Street Mod to be safe. If you're still learning, it doesn't really matter too much. You'll also probably find more people competing in SM as well, makes it more fun if you ask me. :wink:

BTW, these babies showed up last week. Yummy, 245/40/17 Bridgestone RE-01R's. I can't wait to mount these up. :mrgreen:

FYI, compared to 235/40/17 Falken Azenis 615's.

my 225-45-17 615-t's just came today cant wait till the 22 to break them in...Also if there a club i can join for the scca web site, like a club that alot of you guys are in

I would say Street Mod to be safe. If you're still learning, it doesn't really matter too much. You'll also probably find more people competing in SM as well, makes it more fun if you ask me. :wink:

BTW, these babies showed up last week. Yummy, 245/40/17 Bridgestone RE-01R's. I can't wait to mount these up. :mrgreen:

FYI, compared to 235/40/17 Falken Azenis 615's.

I keep staring on my 225-50-16 RE-01Rs and STILL contemplating getting lighter wheels....

[camry man68]

Anybody here part of the autocross club that has the autocross events at giants stadium? If so then how is it?

[FocusDude]

Is giants stadium the same as the meadowlands??? pardon my ignorance.

[camry man68]

its right next to it so I guess it could be considered the same

[FocusDude]

I've never been up to... but talking to some on the NNJR folks last year, they said. The courses were fast,fun, & technical- and the competition is fierce! The parking lot is much smoother then Englishtown, if you've ever been there! Take here-say for what it's worth, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't regret it.

Anyone going to the SJ SCCA event on the 27th???

[psushoe]

Going to the Autocrosser's Inc event in DC this weekend, not sure if I'll be in town next weekend.

[UnderPoweredRS]

I'll be at the event on the 27th. I have to keep rocking the SM class.

[psushoe]

Is that lot any better this year? Last year it was all sandy and no grip for the r-comps (street tires proved to be faster). I'm assuming the construction is done on the college...?

[Ciotti]

The construction is done and the lot only has 1 or 2 spots with the gravel, those few spots usually get broomed off during the walk through anyway so it's all set.

[DIAF]

Tomorrow's NNJR SCCA event has been cancelled. Nov 1st non-points event will now be the last points event.

[c7scayman]

How much do these AutoX events usually cost?
Can anyone go and drive in them or do you have to have roll bar and safety equiptment?

[jb1830]

Anyone can go. As long as your car isn't blowing up, you have seatbelts and your battery is tied down you're good.

Prices vary. I recommend checking your local SCCA website but its usually in the $30-$50 range to participate for 1 event and you get anywhere from 3-5 runs, sometimes even more.

Just go to the SCCA website. Sign up as an SCCA member. Read the rules. Sign up for autox events on motorsportreg.com and come out to play.

The best way to learn is by doing. We have an event tomorrow. Rain or shine. And if it rains you'll learn way more.
