Autocrossing Ohio
I had my first ever autox event yesterday. 6 runs, 4 of them screwed up haha. But my last run I actually didn't miss any cones and put together a respectable time good for 2nd place novice, 4th place ST class, and 45th overall (out of 73). I was actually only .4 seconds out of second place in my class.
Looking forward to the May event! Man autocross is quick and intense! |

Good job, Brian. Nice to finally see another Fit Racer in the Midwest.

Yeah! It was awesome seeing another Fit. You are so smooth. The lines you ran today were gorgeous. How did you end up in H Stock? I saw someone in your class run in the low 50's. That's retarded lol.
Well, Fitfreaks, cycoxtr and I carried the Fit banner today at event #2 in the Northwest Ohio Region SCCA Solo season. He'll have to tell ya how he did because the results aren't posted yet. I finished 1st overall Novice, and 3rd in my Street Touring class. It was a really fun weekend of grinding up perfectly good and innocent Star Specs.... :) PS. Twice today I heard "I got beat by a Fit!" :D |

Event #3. Not my best showing of the season. Finished 4th of 6 in ST, and I think 5th overall novice. I knew I left a second or two out there on the course, so there's some personal disappointment in knowing I could have done better.
Next weekend is an awesome 3-day Pro-Solo event up in Michigan. If you don't know what that is, just think "drag racing with turns on mirror image courses". Can't wait. |
Tauwolf... If the drive is not too long you should come to St.Louis SCCA Solos!!... Or we should meet up for one in Indy !! I would love to race another Fit !!
I have been Auto X'ing my GD3 in ST Class for 3 yrs now... I still love to see peoples face when they laugh that you are racing a Fit and then they ask about your time.. and the smile goes away ... CLASSIC !!! Tear the cones up brother !! Enjoy ... EAT/SLEEP/AUTO X |
I definately plan to go to at least one of the Lincoln events next year, and Indy is very doable for me. I am hooked, and plan on making this a hobby for many years to come. I need as much seat time as I can get haha.
I was asked by 3 different people at the last event "How do you get a FIT to go so fast???" haha that made me feel good. :) |

Let me know if you ever want to hit up the Indy scene... I might get a few other Honda Auto X buddies to go... a DC2 LS and a Mugen FD2 |
Just a few updated pics in my other thread, from this past weekend's ProSolo up in Oscoda, Michigan.

Glad to see another Fit being put through it's paces on course :D
I'm in ST as well and don't have any competition :( I'm actually competing ahead of cars in STX as well... :rolleyes: I'm pretty well known in my region, and the times are always a shocker for those that don't know what me and the car are capable of :D Should be making the State Solo Championships in FL! What's your tire/suspension setup? I'm on Bilstein PSS coilovers and 16x7 +45 w/ Kumho Ecsta XS 215/45/16 Edit: lol, and i have your mirrors :rotfl: http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/p...sSloHonduh.jpg http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/p...MkVTcJr-XL.jpg |

What are your spring rates at? your car looks really stiff.... I have a GD3 and I'm running the Skunk2 Pro C's 6k/6k, progress rear sway bar, Cusco and T1R bars, and Advan AD08's on 15x7 Enkei RPF1's 205/50 - 15... but I am trying to fit 225's in the front so well see :) Also might switch tires soon to Toyo R1R or Dunlop Z1.. Any thoughts? |

Are the Bilsteins as good as I suspect they are? I'm running Swift springs and a Progress RSB. Pretty standard stuff. Second, You're running faster than STX cars??? ummm, huh???? Third, we had 17 cars in ST at our national event last weekend, and usually get 5-8 cars for regionals. I'm surprised no one is showing up for ST down there. We jokingly refer to it as "Spec Civic", though. Last weekend it was 15 1989-90 Civic SI's, an Integra, and me. Yeah, I finished 17th.... I've been fooling myself all this time. There's no way an automatic FIT can compete in ST. Hell, I couldn't compete in H Stock. The Mini's are way quicker than me. If I'm going to even have a chance to compete I'm going to have to get a manual before next year. |

Couple of decent pics from a May event, before I got the cool magnetic numbers.

I was actually torn between Buddyclubs and the Bilsteins, then i finally confirmed that the HPD Bspec Fit was on the PSS coilovers. I promptly ordered them within a couple days and haven't had any regrets since :D Sure, the Buddyclubs are probably better on course but the primary function of the car is still getting me from A to B :cool: And yes, i know i'd lose like a b**** against a proper ST car... so i just enjoy running with "faster" cars and watching people's jaws fall to the tarmac. That's part of the fun isn't it?? :D |
