Sounds like a plan. I'll have to grab some electrical tape. Thanks again

Use blue painter's tape. The 2" wide stuff works great, and it comes off clean. Plus, it's easier for the course workers to read.

and the stream of knowledge never ceases...

thanks again, signing her up now, im going to make her #

fitftw · 11-01-2010, 12:59 PM

I'll be at either the Feb or March event. It will be my first time.

Racersky · 11-01-2010, 01:32 PM

Never AutoX in my life but would to though. Since have have suspension mods could I still run as a novice? I'm not sure about any of the rules and regulations.

FocusDude · 11-01-2010, 05:59 PM

Anyone can run as a novice no matter the mods or car, its typically noted the first 8-10 events you attend. You will be classed accordingly, but have a N at the beginning of your car # as to make it obvious who to pick on, uhem I mean guide and assist.

Hopefully the winter will pickup, but we are already down to 4day weeks. Unless we pick up some side work soon, I doubt will be able to attend... which sucks-

There are definitely exceptions to that. Some people just pick it up quickly. Once your raw times are competitive in your class, you should be out of the novice pax.

Hotchkis front and rear sways, BC Coilovers, 17x8 RPF1s not sure what tires to get yet. Planning to do the ES master set. Not sure what other suspension mods I should do.

F Street Prepared (FSP) is the class you'll be in with the Enkeis. They're a half inch too wide for Street Touring.

Don't forget to register your pax as novice as was said earlier.

I'm happy to help anyway that I can, but by law only an instructor is allowed to be in the car with you. Unfortunately, I'm not an instructor, but there will be many instructors there more than happy to help.

The instructor can ride shotgun and keep you pointed in the right direction and will give you some tips after your run. The instructor can also drive your car for a run while you ride shotgun, so you can see what your car is capable of. This is a great experience and learning tool for first timers, as well as more experienced racers. The instructor driven run does not count as one of your runs.

sean3 · 11-02-2010, 10:20 AM

Just want to point out that the "instructor only" law is a NJ only thing, because this state ****ing sucks.

I'm ready to freeze my ass off again this year, now with 100% more negative camber!

R22B · 11-02-2010, 04:25 PM

If I have my Miata by then – count me in!
