Cal Club Autocross Forums

Mako, I know it's a shame to cover that shiny new header, but I'm a big fan of these to help keep underhood temps down: http://trackdogracing.com/website/heat_shields.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Oh, and FWIW, most local Checker/Autozones (CSK type stores) here in AZ ...

Please add me as well.

I'm well aware of the shifting....El Toro Divisional last year had 13 shifts per run. ;)

Jason, Goodwin would have some accurate info on fitment, but I think 255 might be the limit for an NC given the proposed fender allowances. To be honest, I don't think I'd want to go any bigger than that regardless. Some additional data: my CSP car weighed 2370 at Nationals and aside from wheels/tir...

Got it, thanks.

Anybody have an email or phone number for Tom?

Thanks

The Divisional that was supposed to be hosted by us (Cal Club) is officially cancelled an in place it will be a normal practice/championship weekend. TCC was the scheduled club to host but has backed out. Stepping in, for the 2nd time this season will be CASOC to host it at El Toro (July 25-26th). ...

Congrats Max!!!!

Also congrats to Gary for shallacking the rest of us in SS. I still have a lot of work to do on the car and my driving.... \crawls back under the stupid GM pile

Thanks for the info guys, can't wait to drive 13 hrs for 3 days of rain without wets.

Yeah, I bet it'd be double the fun repairing TWO ends of the drivetrain instead of just one!

Now that the forecast is now so awesomely showing good chances of rain all weekend, can anybody offer any details on the surface? I'd guess that since it's an airport, it should drain well; any chance it's grooved?

Duh...

Thanks guys.

Yes Jason, we'll be there. Max told me he knows how to win $600 on the slots in 5 minutes.

We cheaped out and booked at a room at the Rainbow. Gotta represent my Miata roots.

So which is the preferred route from Vegas, 93 all the way up or 318? I believe that the Silver State Classic is run on 318, so while it would easily accommodate "brisk" traveling, I worry it's heavily patrolled. Any advice from those that have made the trip?

I know for the E46's this added an incredible amount of torsional rigidity, iirc ~+30%. Chris's car sounds to be a truly unique example.

As others have covered, tanks and compressors both have their strengths and weaknesses. If you decide to go with a compressor, we've been using the one below for the past several years and it's the smoothest/quietest I've ever come across. Chances are good that you can pick it up at your local Costc...

Fantastic event! The separate slalom and figure-8 courses offered car *and* driver development opportunities that appeared to be under appreciated. Kudos to Greg also on a great course.

Katy's co-drivers?

It didn't happen again on Sunday did it?

Thanks, I should try reading more often.

They made a lost and found announcement at the end of Heat 5 on Sunday, and the keys were still there at that point.

Tom, anybody, is there an entry list posted somewhere? Is the Practice sold out?

Do SK drivers need to also have their stock class letters on the car, or just their corresponding SK1/SK2?

Ooops, thanks.

Will there be Saturday morning registration?

Good deal, I'll let all our local ST underachievers know about the SK1/2 provisional classes.

You can if you have an Xbox Live Gold account (~$50/yr). The Playstation Network is free for the PS3, but you definitely get what you pay for...Live is worth it.
