Cal Club Autocross Forums

Got laid off in late November. The current job market is near non-existant for what I do. The company that I got whacked from is tied into new construction. Because of the lack of available financing, many new construction projects are being "pushed back" or put on hold. Not necessarily ca...

Surprise!!!!! Fontana's gonna be windy. I don't know what it looks like in Fontana this morning but in Lakewood, it is absolute dead calm.....no wind at all.

Ditto Garden Grove

Great early call. Much appreciated. I'm about 50 freeway miles southwest of Fontucky and the wind is blowing pretty hard here. Must be really bad there.

For my first four years I ran with a color matched bra from Speed Lingerie and it did very well protecting from cone hits. It won't fit with race tires due to interference when turning, otherwise I'd still have it on. They (supposedly) guarantee their product up to 150 mph.

How about Tour d'Orange?

Another way of looking at it, you could probably store at least 30,000 cars (packed in) in 100 acres.

Per the article, the estimate is for 100-150 cars per acre.

For those of you that don't get the Orange County Register, on Dec 16th and Dec 20th there were articles that spoke about car dealers leasing "up to" 100 acres of the El Toro runways for overflow storage. Is that enough acreage to impact Solo events? According to today's article the usage ...

The autocross area at the Santa Maria airport is very small and slick as ice.

Sure is fast in a straight line.

ROFLMAO........

If you really get hard up, just make up some legal paper numbers and tape them over the meatball. Have new ones each day in case it rains.

I had my paper numbers laminated. I've used them over and over, and they're waterproof.

It will good to have another Z06 driver around!


Ah, I'm not so sure........................

FWIW - I've had my 2000 hardtop (non Z06) for almost 5 years. The car has almost 40k miles and about 800 autocross runs - no shop time by the previous owner or me. The message being that not all C5's are defective, although I know that most of the things listed in previous posts are not uncommon.

I'd take a couple. Doesn't even need anything on the back. I'd prefer a polo type shirt (with collar). If you insist on something on the back, how about the international "No" over a cone?

Oh, boy. What seems to have started as Tom's attempt to inform, has turned ugly. This thread is unpleasant to read.

<on soapbox> How about taking a deep breath and putting on your cooperation hat. Everyone would benefit. <off soapbox>

Well, now I don't feel so bad about the huge pigeon that attacked me a about a month ago during a run at El Toro...................

or maybe it was a white towel that was FIRMLY wedged between the passenger seat and center console and somehow became airborn.

1st was Brian Chmielewski at a Cal Club school in 2004. Since then, I've had Tom Kotzian and Junior Johnson in EVO school, and Tom Berry at a Cal Club school.

I've got no excuse for not going fast.
