What a great weekend! 71 cars made a total of 788 runs during the autocross event on Saturday.

I am going to make 4 posts after this one to include all the lap time for each group. Each post will include 4 pictures of the times from each group. They should be easy to follow. The 5th post will have how you ranked with your fastest time. I did not remove the bellow TW 200 cars from these posts.

There are titles at the top of each to tell you what the columns mean. Big thing, "White" column with time is before cones were added, "Green" is after cones were added for each lap. Dnf is if you drove off course.

Enjoy!

No, bonecrusher, you don't. At least your not last...that would be me. I'm thinking I should just stick to photography. (However, it was only my 2nd autocross.)

As long as you had fun, that's what it's all about! I hope your not discouraged. Just think of all the fun you can have improving your time as you get more seat time at events like this.

Hope to see you running again!

Although I don't disagree, why is mine called the blue slow thing.LOL
Figured out why even Finch couldn't make mine turn, with all the height changes I've made through the years, the car was setting dead on the bump stops, no suspenson at all in the front, probably helped me in the speed stop though.

Thanks for keeping score Robert, it looked difficult. Glad you got at least one ride this year, and our bad mojo spell is snapped.

Thanks for posting the times! It is always nice to see where you were running compared with the rest of the bunch.

Thanks Robert!

I really want to be a winner, but 16th will have to do for now. The two runs in a row that I hit five cones didn't help my odds any... When I tell my friends and family that didn't attend I am going to claim that eleven or so of the cars in front of me had <200 treadwear. It's my lie, I will tell it however I want!

haha not sure where that "Blue slow thing" came from :jump:

Was good to see you as usual. I thought the bad mojo stuff was gone for the most part last year, motor didn't blow with me in the car and you ran your fastest drag time with me as ballast lol.

I was def keeping busy with the timing, only got on the autocross track once to ride with Riley in the rx7 and that was with me running to and from the car to the timing table lol. Wish I could have rode in yours and others on the autocross, but at least I got to ride in several at the drag strip.

I guess being 40th out of 71 cars isn't bad considering our El Camino doesn't have a rear sway bar!

I gotta watch my back, it looks like Carol is starting to get the hang of this autox stuff, I was just .708 faster than her!

Tom, I wouldn't worry too much, you were kicking some butt in your Chevelle!

Great job on the timing and running of the Autox altogether! I can't believe so many cars got so many runs - especially with goofs like me going off course and doing my best to destroy cones :)

Thanks for posting the times. I was concentrating so much on just trying to get the car through the course that I never once checked my times and didn't know any of them until just now.

Awesome! I was gonna ask Monday if there was a tally on all the times. I figured I'd give it a few days to see if they got posted........well........they did. LOL

Thanks for taking the time to put all the data together. Any idea when we'll see some drag/speed stop numbers?

Don't get discouraged get more training. This school is really geared towards people just getting started https://www.pro-touring.com/showthread.php?82829-New-event-Get-Started-Racing-Autocross-School

I know but it still sucks. I improved each run so that is a good thing AND I never went the wrong way! What Ricky Bobby said was right! "If your not first, your last!"

Anywho, I plan on attending the local SCCA this month if it is still happening. Since I have this job thing going on, I don't believe I can make it to the school you mentioned although it would be great. I missed out on the RTTH school because of plans that were made when I thought it was all sold out.

It was awesome how many runs everyone got and how smooth it all went. I still had fun and learned some things..mostly about some adjustments to be made on my car. And the biggest thing...gotta stay on that skinny pedal!

I wasn't handling the timing for that, so I'm not sure what the times were. I think the drag strip was giving each person their time slip when they ran. White if you stayed in the box and yellow if you didn't for the speed stop.

They were giving out time slips. I was just wondering how everyone else did. We didn't do the speed stop. We drove our car down from Michigan. I figured we beat the crap out of it all weekend and didn't break anything why push our luck when we have a 750 mile drive home. The important thing is we had a ton of fun and we'll be back next year.

Thanks

Tony, you may have been down on HP, but you made up for it with driving skills. I enjoyed watching you slide into the final turn, set the front end, and power out. I was pushing through that corner all day. Also, thanks for the NT05 air pressure advice. It really helped.

Not a problem, they just seem to love those low PSi's. Adjusting air psi is the kinda' mod I like............FREE!!! ;)

Tony B. as always, Great driving!! I know when I talked to you last my best time was a 54.??? and you said you thought it should be in the 51 range .... Well when I took my wife for her first ride ever on an Auto-x we put up a 51.944.. Let me know if you do a local event and I will try to make it..... More seat time the better............

I may have one or two events left in the year, but they'll be in Lebenon(Nashville Super Speedway). I like those events because they have a larger lot to work with and the courses are generally stretched out long and the speeds are 3rd gear stuff(for me).

It's about a 2hr drive from Lenoir City. It's not that bad of a drive if you have a passenger, or in my case, some DVD's to watch on the way. :)

The weather right now is good for autocrossin'. Not too hot to over heat the tires, but not cold enough keep them from gettin' heat into'em. And not sweating your cahone's off standing on the asphalt all day helps, too. :smoke:

Thanks. When you fall off a bike long enough, you begin to make it look graceful. :)

Not a problem. She needs to quit "moddin' " and get to drivin'. I like how she asked me what kind of blower I had. ;) The cheapest one they make! The invisible non-existent kind! LOL!
