Cal Club Autocross Forums

renee, stacey and i would like to express our deepest condolences to you and your family. i didn't find out about this until a few minutes ago when stacey was checking the cal club board. we were just talking about him last night with one of our friends who was participating in the event this weeken...

that's 100% kosher FAIL!

now if they changed that "five dollars" at the bottom to "one unit of gasoline", that would work even better.

or maybe they can reprint these:

it better be, because it's a scorcher right now!

ah, i see renee gave you mine and stacey's names christine. we'll see the endurance crew on saturday.

EDIT: since I already forgot to mention! Thank you Jon and Damon and im sure Craig wants to thank you too, for fixing the flat tire on the motor home! it was such unexpected extra work and you guys stepped up to to help walking away with cuts and scratches... o and a bee sting! you're more than wel...

You've never been to the old board much, eh?

not really.

thanks for chiming in guys. my whole point was that we use it as a tool, not as a substitute.

just wish it didn't show up as me starting this thread, since i didn't, but oh well.

thanks. didn't mean to take this off topic.

that's AWESOME!

i really wish my parents could have gotten me into something like that when i was that age. sometimes having an overprotective mother is not a good thing.

ok. i can see where this is going.

probably should never have mentioned it.

i think you guys are missing the point. my point was that we use it to practice technique in various situations and NOT for the tracks. i'm sure i don't have to tell you that technique is applicable on ANY track, be it autocross or road course. with that said, there is nothing that can replace actua...

well, okay. but i will say that it did help my driver polish her skills and finish 2nd in class last season. she also took two 1st's at the double regional this past weekend, running far better times than she did previously at california speedway. all while practicing technique and driving lines on ...

yeah, i saw that from the event calendar. i do have an SCCA membership, so that's not a problem. just debating on whether or not i want 3 runs to make up for 3 years of not being behind the wheel. Well zero runs sure isn't going to get you anywhere. No time like the present (or Sunday at least). Ja...

not bad art, seeing as how i'm the same age as the big mac.

i appreciate that sentiment, but it has nothing to do with the car at all, but rather the lack of Q&A with the "instructor". the last time i did this, the person who drove was more interested in seat time than anything else; no constructive critcism, nothing. anyhow, that's not the poi...

Well you can also do "X" runs, and also during your competition runs (before your X-runs) you can a 4th run by having an instructor drive your lap while you ride shotgun. i've thought about doing that. i'm not very keen on having someone else drive my car while i'm trying to improve my dr...

not a points card holder, so can't register online. It also will cost you $5 more, but as long as you're an SCCA member (or will get the weekend SCCA temporary membership, you should be fine). yeah, i saw that from the event calendar. i do have an SCCA membership, so that's not a problem. just deba...

i'll come on out and see what happens.

sounds like karma has made its way around.

my first job was way back when i was 18, in 1985. worked as a cashier at a drive-in theater swap meet. i'd occasionally work in the snack bar and on some evenings, work the theater itself. didn't pay much; i think minimum back then was something like $3.15 or so. i did get to eat free and get free a...

i haven't logged onto the message board in ages. same with the "main" site. everything works just fine for me.

btw, i like the new look of the message board.

ah, gotcha. didn't remember the name of the town it was in. ;)

I've been craving a good hot dog for like 8 months. What's a good place to get one? Pinks in LA, or if you like chili dogs, there's always Tommy's. Closest Tommy's to Redlands is probably Corona. there is also a tommy's off of the 15, just south of the 91. there is an in-n-out right across the stre...
