Cal Club Autocross Forums

Dunno if you guys know it or not, but it's been open for a couple days. Haven't seen anyone from SoCal sign up, so I was wondering if its becuase no one knows about it. If there is a specific number you want to run at Nats, better do it quick!

Yeah, I did forget in my initial post that the PAX was not adjusted anymore for it being a Pro. I have no idea what 200ft times would be for an STR car, but I'm pretty sure they suck in a STR MX5 :D Dude, MX5s launch better than S2000s on Hankooks! It was soooo painful to see in the corner of my ey...

Mako, thanks SO MUCH for taking the slo mo vids, on top of your usual excellent picture taking! The video you have of me taking the slalom is AWESOME. It's so cool to see what it looks like from the outside when I try to dance the car around the cones. A lot of times after I pass the slalom I think ...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll give those all a try. Lily, send me her contact info.

Any good recommendations for good/inexpensive car insurance and/or agents? I want to use State Farm, but they are just getting too expensive...

I'm not a homeowner, so can't use that for any discounts.

Sounds like your sister is living a much better life than you are, old chap!

Well, I haven't been able to source these tires yet, so no go for me at the SD Tour in STR... But I REALLY need to run and do well at the ProSolo for National points in STR, which is only 10 days away!!! Please, if anyone has these tires in decent shape, please sell them to me, I'm DESPERATE!!! James

Thanks KJ.

Anyone (KJ???) know of any good mechanics around the LA/LAX area? I have a friend that wants to buy a 99 Porsche 911, but is thinking about having the car checked by a mechanic before he buys. Any suggestions?

I think James is over simplifying my chances. With 27+ people in STR, there are probably about 10 people that can easily win! I'm just happy to show up and enjoy the wonderful scenery }:) Oh, then you won't mind me driving your car and you can drive mine on the 245 RS3s? hehehe ;) You have THE car ...

Just wait til the CASOC brass finds out about your statement, they'll be calling for meetings deciding your fate.

BUSTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, Mr. Precision, you are blaming your future loss on .4" of rubber? Plus James, it's not all about winning. It's about friendship, camaraderie, fun times, and all that bollocks! But Max, I get to heckle you at all of our local events, and I don't have to pay for a hotel! If I go, I need to m...

Thanks so much for the offer Max. But after thinking about it, paying all the money for the entry fee, gas, hotel, only to not have a chance to win on 245 size tires isn't worth it. Thanks so much for the offer sexy! James So, Mr. Precision, you are blaming your future loss on .4" of rubber? H...

Yom - you big girl's blouse... what's wrong with Dunlops, especially at SD? I have a set of 245/40/17 RS3s you could borrow for a small fee. Nothing's wrong with them, other than the fact that I need to buy another set of wheels for them, and after the Tour, I won't touch them until we go back to A...

I'm in desperate need of the Hankooks, otherwise no SD Tour for me. If you have or know of anyone that might have a set for sale, please let me know!

Anyone want to split an entry? Don't want or need to do 12+ runs.

Yes, it comes with everything needed to install, including the endlinks.

Gendron sway bar for S2000 for sale. It has a custom center section bar on it.

I'm willing to bet more regions use simple lines. But then again apparently everyone who disagrees with you is stone stupid.

really classy.

And this doesn't consider the additional time it takes to design and set-up a proper grid. Oh wait a minute......it's easy......I forgot! :mrt: So the folks in Chicago, Milwaukee, and other regions must sprinkle pixie dust over the grid and have it magically work for them. Setting the grid up isn't...

If I can attend the sunday event next time, I'll set up early that morning, but if QV or anyone else wants to do it for the practice, it's SUPER easy. If you wanna make a grid for 30 cars, All you need to do is make 2 rows of cones, 16 cones each, space the 2 rows about 12 feet apart, and each cone ...

running the grid like this only requires 2 people, not 3-4. in terms of setup, all we need to do is instead of allocating grid space as a square, do it as a rectangle. There's a LOT of unused space either on the south side of our traditional non-hot area (just south of where we teched yesterday), an...

So after having run Cal Club for a while, I find myself wondering why we do grid the way we do here? -It's really confusing becuase most of the time I have no idea when my run sequence is, whether I am a single driver or a multi driver. -many times, I end up coming back to grid in a different spot. ...

well, I've been meaning to talk to the board about the way we do grid here at Cal Club. It might help alleviate this problem as well, as it would help immediately identify how many two driver and one driver cars there are. I'll start it in another thread.
