Wont be in town.

Tension builds as the event approaches, Andre will be at another event so Craig and I will be handling the course design... you can expect a fast slalom section and some nice sweepers but the rest I'll keep a secret

My car will be with me at said school so Alexa needs a car to drive at the event. If anyone is interested in letting her co-drive It would be greatly appreciated. We would chip in towards gas and tire wear

By chip in you mean a new clutch and tires, right?

she wont launch someone elses car lol... a big part of her launching the way she did was Matt egging her on. She was launching like a sane person at the philly even last weekend

What do they do in the event of r**n? I didn't want to say that word, but the forecast doesn't look good.

if it rains a few things happen... 1, you get wet... 2, your car gets wet... 3, you dont wear out your tires as much.... 4, you slide a lot more, and finally 5, Ciotti makes it look like a drift event...

Ciotti · 09-25-2009, 06:52 PM

If it rains you get 8 accelerated lessons in car control and the chance to figure out how hard you really can push your car in the wet, most people tip toe around in the rain and if someone pulls out in front of them they bury the brake pedal into the carpet and slam into them with all 4 wheels locked. After even just one day of autocrossing in the wet you'll realize that cars handle amazingly well in the wet as long as you are gentle with your inputs and don't shock the tires.

Other than that, just bring a poncho and you'll be good to go

I won't be locking up my brakes...they don't work! I'll probably be in SM with a stock automatic Civic.
