Cal Club Autocross Forums

It was a success. First Bill and I can work together when needed. Second the T1 boys just couldn't hang with us. They also brought out a Circle track driver (Scott)that co-drove Craig's car and was faster then both of them. He did make me a little nervous, but at the end of the day all three were sl...

Bill you just don't get it again. Let me explain. It's autocrossers against road racers. This is the one time that you and I will unite against them. If that's not possible with you, then you don't get to play with us.

These road racers are taking this serious. I heard Craig and Oli were out practicing Sunday at the SV's autocross. It's going to take much more then one practice guys.

I had a chance to drive Craig's C6 T1 Corvette yesterday and the SV autocross. I had a 39.0 in my car. I turned a 39.8 in his. But the car has the potential to go much faster. I couldn't move the race seat back and was about one foot from the steering wheel. The Hoosiers A6's were about 10psi to low...

I spent all day at the SV autocross. I would say between 40-50 runs. The course was small, but flowed quite well. Emilio and William put down the fastest times. Congrats to them. I was back in 3rd.

Steve

I just looked at the practice list and Oli is signed up too. This is going to be exciting.

That was a nice article from Oli. But it's not Oli who's showing up. Craig Dale is the T1 Champ this year.

Steve

The newly crowned T1 Corvette champion is coming to our practice 11/28. The last time a T1 Corvette driver showed up we embarrassed him so bad he never came back. :( Let's show those road racers again. Anyone what to take a guess how bad were going to beat him. My prediction is 2 seconds from myself...

The course is very small. No need for first gear. Second is fine. Remember no course work. I just take out the cones that are in my way. Pretty much like always.

Steve

Your not kidding small car friendly. I might still come out.

I would sure like a few solo people on track so I can pass them. Especially the ones that beat the heck out of me every month on the solo course.

You know who you are

That sounds tempting.

Steve

Wait, wait somethings wrong. My names not on the practice list. Oh that's right, I can't go. Might be the first time ever.
Have fun.

Steve

Hey Bill, shouldn't you by winning PAX with your cheesy index? Hey Ken, shouldn't you not be whining after only beating me by 0.7sec. on a course MADE for 'Vettes? Bill you just don't get it. If I'm driving my Corvette in a parking lot, it's a Miata course. Plain and simple. Anytime you want to go ...

George I can't go. Self Employed keeps me at work. I quit posting track days on this forum, because nobody wanted to go. Always some kind of excuse. Mostly to dangerous, to fast, car will overheat, bad tires. brakes will fade, on and on they go. Have a great time.

Steve

Quit posting pictures like this. We already know how dangerous it can be. Almost every driver I know that autocrosses have the skills and smarts to stay out of trouble. Go have fun. Far as I know, I hold the track record at Horse Thief Mile. It's simple, look where you want to go.

Mike,

Looks like i fixed it. Let's hope. Put me back down if you can.

thanks,
Steve A.

Hi Mike,

Sent you a PM. I'm dropping out too.

Sorry,
Steve

Hi Gio,

I think the 22nd is a Monday.

Steve

I can come Saturday for course setup.

Front 2.3 neg. camber. Max castor. 1/8" toe out. total.

Rear. 1.3 neg. camber 1/4" toe in. total.

That would be pretty close.
The winning part is up to you.

My 25 year old Nephew is looking for a job. He's in the Redlands area.

At one time I had him working with me, but I just didn't need another employee at the time. He a real hard worker for sure.

thanks,

Burbank Airport has lots of open space where Lockheed use to be. Anyone know how to pursue this?

Blanco, I live just a few miles from you. What are you driving.

Call me if you want to talk about autocross.

Hey Max it could have been me. I ran over cones all weekend.

Thanks No Bucks for a great weekend.

Steve A.

Renee Angel was my first instructor too. I got screamed at also. And I thought after all these years it was only me.

Thanks Renee,

Steve A.

For the record Mr. Abbot I only got down to a 62.0 on my 3rd fun run in the vette so you win.

So, I guess my plan did work out.
