Roadkilled75 · 04-20-2008, 08:09 PM

I was driving the loud yellow piece of ****! There had better be action pics. I wasn't fast, but for the first run of the season in a strange car, it wasn't too bad. Also picked up slicks for my own car. Good day, but long.

Charged SVTF · 04-20-2008, 10:59 PM

Warminster was awesome today. Had a couple crap runs. Apparently when looking at the score sheet, i hit a couple cones that I didnt know about. Waa Waa Waaaaaaaa

JSpecV03 · 04-21-2008, 06:41 AM

did anyone get any good pics at all?

Roadkilled75 · 04-21-2008, 08:20 AM

SVTF, I don't think your numbers were big enough.

Charged SVTF · 04-21-2008, 08:36 AM

LOL....you dont have to worry about that. Me and my car are a like in those ways....always "big" enough.

Well glad somebody got to autocross yesterday. Was down in D.C. for the first points event, with calls for scattered thunderstorms during the day. There was one at 9am and another at around 11:30am, both only lasting about 5 minutes or so. And then the big one came, and wouldn't let up just after the start of the 4th heat (of 6 heats). The skies opened for about 30-45 minutes with lightning and crazy winds. With more high power storms on the way, they cancelled the remainder of the event. So the drive down ended up being a total waste as I didn't get to run, just drove down to get soaked. But had fun hanging out with people and at some good BBQ. Still waiting what the verdict is going to be for those of us that didn't get to run. First event I've ever seen get cancelled halfway through.

Glad you guys had fun though and looking forward to the pics.

Did anyone get any pictures?

jrtcbmw · 04-21-2008, 07:32 PM

i cant seem to find anyone who has them. i have been on the philly scca forums and nothing.

also did they post the times online yet?

FocusDude · 04-21-2008, 07:34 PM

Sucks to here of the bum day Pik. Told you to make the journey to Warminster

ST competition was awesome & the weather was great!

I didn't take any pics- maybe I can get one of my 60 second runs uploaded. I'm having problems converting it to anything half visible!

UnderPoweredRS · 04-21-2008, 08:06 PM

no results as of yet.

Roadkilled75 · 04-21-2008, 09:14 PM

Times aren't up yet, from what I hear, because of a huge issue with the timing software in the 3rd heat. Evidently everyone's times were recorded, but it's taking a while to sort them out and organize them before posting.

Charged SVTF · 04-21-2008, 11:30 PM

Yea...they had a laptop by the starting line taking in times and who was going onto the coarse during the last two heats. Was not a good sign.

Roadkilled75 · 04-22-2008, 08:50 AM

This guy was prepared with two quarts of oil on the front seat at the start of the day. Nice car though.

SVTF, you might be three-wheeling it here:

piknockout · 04-22-2008, 09:44 AM

Hey SVTF, what number and class are you?

wrxcelration · 04-22-2008, 11:16 AM

This will be my rookie year running STU. Does anyone know any local novice classes being held?. Id like to take some classes before I join the novice class

Charged SVTF · 04-22-2008, 11:50 AM

Roadkill, just went through the pictures....awesome job man!

Roadkilled75 · 04-22-2008, 12:09 PM

SVTF, they're not my pictures. I was running 2nd heat. Borrowed the philly region LeMons corolla. 3rd pic from the bottom of my last post.

wrxcel, see if this link works for you. The first novice school is next weekend, and I think there are still spots open.

http://www.phillyscca.com/forum/view...php?f=8&t=4069

There are 3 novice schools during the year, classroom instruction for 2-3 hours on saturday and instructor ridealong during the autox the next sunday.

Or just go out and try it. I did. Heck, I hope to attend one of the novice schools this year because after 6 events I still have no formal instruction...

piknockout · 04-22-2008, 12:30 PM

I'm currently on my 4th year with no formal instruction.

While there is no real substitute for formal discussion and seat time (i.e., an actual school) to learn early and quickly, through research for pointers (I STRONGLY suggest Andy Hollis Top Ten Autocross Driving Tips...even have it up in my cube at work!) and having instructors ride along any chance you get, you can still learn fairly quickly. You just need to ask those who are more experienced for their help. But in the end, there's no substitute for seat time.
