Cal Club Autocross Forums

Awful news..........

Jason -- it wasn't about speed, it was about the color and QV's obsession with ORANGE!

Hope all is well anyway...

Hi All -- spring finally coming to Philly and hoping racing is as well...we lost our best venue....ahhhh

Saw this truck and thought of you know who....and everyone else in SoCal too.

Happy Easter and Divisionals to All.

And yes, truck is for sale.....

WOW...great offer...thanks!!!!

but don't hold your breath...I followed procedures and after 10 months have heard nada....."in review by SEB"...right....

Cool ?

how about...

"heard you let up on gas pedal too soon"
"get closer to the cones"
"place the car outside to cut off that corner"
"faster...faster...trust the car..."

Tom -- you are always in my head while autocrossing...scary thing.

Steve G

so nice to be loved. I pass by Merion GC quite often and think about Backspin as I do...home of the 2013 US Open......we have a guest room!

see you soon.

Well -- hoping to make it to the Aug 5th event and co drive the mighty white marsh mellow if you'll have me! Stay tuned for video from our last Philly event where the roaring Spitfire was co-driven by my son Jeff on Father's day....he let me win but did perform two very impressive spins..... Best to...

I knew when we can back we might have a white XMAS....and I remember icy Thanksgiving holiday trips...but a white snowy Halloween? Are you kidding me?

Guess my autoX season is over.....miss everyone!

Steve G

miss you guys -- could you tell the roll bar was removed.....Tom, I'm surprised you didn't get on me for a short coast or two....

I lost by 0.083......to a Jetta....ugh....

missing you all. We had a SoCal kind of day weather wise and a pretty nice course at Dover Downs.... Enjoy I got beat out by under 0.1 sec....ugh....and I was trying to "Kill John" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6as6xCFWz-g" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Steve G 7...

Your analysis is irrelevant unless you submit your engineering analysis to National Tech for their approval. Yes, I did that with a recommended rule change Geometry in the car prohibits a fore aft support with required 30 deg incline................Also, I've seen any number of Spitfires (I think t...

*I realize this is not a helpful post in regards to your "roll bar"*

Max. I'm glad you like them, I've read every one!

Steve G :gpower:

For clarity....tech passed me. Someone contacted safety steward who deemed roll bar to be non compliant

Yes I can remove it but I am convinced by analysis that it provides safety

Geometry in the car prohibits a fore aft support with required 30 deg incline

Ugh

thanks...

already posted suggested rule change....I'm sure they are already reviewing it....yeh right!

problem with a modification for me is real estate. I can add a higher support but can't make the 30 degree requirement.

so you guys think that as long as I'm using standard 3 point seat belt, Appendix C does not apply to my situation?

I know why I love the soCal SCCA group!

Steve G

So how come in all my years in SoCal, no noe ever told me my roll bar might be non conforming? Appendix C --- does it apply to FSP ? Something about the fore/aft diag supports connecting to top 1/3 of the hoop....AHHHHH....mine is 50% Of course, my detailed structural analysis indicates my 1800 lb c...

All -- I rally enjoyed driving the white marsh mellow and seeing all my old friends -- and meeting a few new ones too. It was great to see everyone, drive what felt like a BERRY BERRY course, and of course eat John's chili! Hope to see at least two familiar faces at the NJ Pro -- Bill will be one......

Hmmm, should have ordered an extra small for Katy and hired her to sell the shirts................ ;)

just give a shirt to my wife and after she washes it, it will be an extra small!

I need to buy a 2X just so it can shrink to size.....but I love my wife....

See you soon!

Steve G

If KJ needs friendly gate worker for early Sat or Sunday morning, I'm happy to do that for my old friend.

just send me an e-mail or call cell

Steve G

Miss everyone and love the El Toro venue!
