SAN DIEGO AUTOCROSS Sept30 Oct20 Nov18

[iRoush]

Thanks for for wanting to join us on the 17th.. WE also have an event this weekend. Also Sundays are as good as a Saturday practice..You just have to wait till the end of the day for 6 more runs "FUN RUNS"!



I haven't signed up yet for the 17th practice..Tom he always to signs up first and announce his run group here and everyone follows.I can't remember if afternoon or mornings are favored.

What year is you Mustang? Classes ESP,SM, And SU are the favored classes for muscle cars with some upgrades in San Diego,CP is another option.SM and SU always run at the same time while ESP works.Our other Brett stays in SM(1999 Roush Wing Godzilla Green Stang),Tom runs ESP in a 2013 stang and the other 4 or 6 Vintage Muscle.They ran SU last time.SM and ESP in the past.

haha "Godzilla green". welcome other brett! I like you already because you have a fox and a Miata, also because you have a good name :P similar to my two fun cars (sn95 and Miata)

Yes Brett your Car is Dark green and has a growl like Godzilla...LOLAnd you terrize the Japanese cars in SM..LOL... I haven't even had a beer yet .. There was even a song by a rock group called Go Go Godzilla.Could be a good bumper stick for you.I can't remember the name of the rock group that sang the song but they had a few hits.Deep Purple maybe.

debatable, word on the grape vine is that Peter B. is going to be switching over to SM with his new A6's tomorrow. if that's the case I give up in SM. He was two seconds ahead of me on street tire, not to mention how badly he'd kill me with the A6's lol. I might move to SU :P

[soloracerSD]

Isn't the SM Moto, "When the going gets tough the tough get going"Peter B came for a Challeenge so put that RACE FACE on and go get him..LOL That's my Crew Chief talk if I were a Crew Chief....LOL

Maybe you can make up the few seconds after knowing your sticky tires better.It would be funny if everyone bails on SM to SU because PETER B is so good behind the wheel..lol Cruel and unusual punishment I think.You'll have SU guys beat by 4 plus seconds. not much of a challenge.There on Street tires.

Something that also entered my thoughts..If Peter B is really fast on Hoosiers.and is way ahead of the SM racers..He might try P1 next.I think he can run as a FP.Then get a 1.5 or 2 second handicap off his race laps.That would put him in the middle of P1 COMPETITION.. Remember P1 is a combined class of XP CP, and FP.with a PAx ADJUSTED TIME

Well guys, how did it go out there?

Where were you Matt?

[Matt@BOS]

Where were you Matt?

I was at home, thinking about how my car has no hood, grille, front end pieces (save for headlights) and no door handles. Come to think of it, it would probably make a pretty good autocross car. I thought about taking it out, but I didn't want to hit cones with the car in primer and sanded ready for paint.

Sorry I didn't make it out today....I lost first gear on the way home. I found the governor stuck, but it is still not quite right. I'll make it out there sometime soon.

the falcon still has way to much lean.

We need to decide what were are going to BBQ for the next event. I'm kinda tempted to go fancy and do burgers or steaks.

[QuarterD25]

Bryce, it needs a hamburger.

[soloracerSD]

No need to think about it Bryce.a good driver can overcome most anything..Focus on that. We need a 1st and 2nd in SU next time out..

You guys looked good out there..It seems all of you desided to enter the second solalm.On the right..I thought of that to.. But after watching you guys try it.I changed my mind. It's good to work the course before you run...The off camber turm that you approach the salolm with would pitch out the back of the car.Rich almost had a spin there.

We had two winners off this thread Yesterday..Thats cool!

The course was one you really had to pay attention to when you walked it.I walked it twice and still DNFed 2 times.They really didn't need those Gate Markers.(pairs of 2cones).They where just turns in the course or Chicane..At speed the bigger cones kind of blocked my view of what was coming up ahead .I just kept pushing the gas pedal down hoping I had what remembered right.(( This was the section between the hairpin and the right hand 180 Dan W was working))and the ones after the second slalom..That is where I DNF twice ands so did Tom.THE COURSE LAYOUT WAS GREAT.I HAD PROBLEMs with how it was marked.

Bryce Your friend who did autocross for his first time.. He didn't look like a rookie..He might of done well in novice class ..What do you know?

[DTM Racing]

Second slalom was definitely a left hand entrance, made it a chicane instead of a slalom.

John says E-Max can come out and play!

[Bryce]

I will be there on sunday the 18th with a few changes. Maybe the car will be easier to drive.

[soloracerSD]

E-Max ? does that mean Yellow challenger..


Also about going left on second slalom,Doing that you were able to stay on the gas coming out of the 180 and half way into the slalom.Instead of lifting to make it to the right of the slalom.Half second plus could of been lost going to the right of the slalom.The Mekur went left.Going left did make it a little harder exiting the slalom but still better overall.

I'm looking for a different rearend gears for my autocrosser.Original GSL gears are 390 I switched to GSL-SE 411s years ago and need to switch back.I need to get those RPMs down.

Here you go guys. Not my best work, but wanted to get something up before going out of town.

[DTM Racing]

Didn't get video of me! Secrets are still safe!

[Bryce]

Thanks Mark.

[iRoush]

I went right to the slalom. Huge mistake and cost me a LOT of time and probably a 2nd place finish in SM... oh well. Next week I will be back with some serious rear suspension parts. I want a win in SM bad >=)
