i still have a tux fitting at 10am so I'm thinking that they won't let me leave and go do that and then come back. So with that said i'm still going to spectate.

 

and if the SC comes in are you still down for the install?

 

No worries, maybe next Friday they will have AutoX at Race City you can test out the new Helmet on

 

Sorry Nick they are having a special stage rally event there that night so I'm pretty sure it wont run. I'll check out the Special Stage though

 

No SC this weekend

It might come Saturday but thats half our day blown waiting for it. Maybe during the week?

 

Hmmm, maybe we can make a trip to Lethbridge for one of the events there?

 

Justin told you he's not getting it today? It might still have passed customs and could still be on it's way. If by 7pm tonight it's not there tomorrow is a bust but I am still hopeful until then!

 

Looks like you are working tomorrow Yah for Fedex

 

Man it is so quiet in here you could head a pin drop (you know, like a hood pin or something )

AutoX was a blast, the course was a lot faster than the Race City autocross. I had my poor tires squealing pretty good trying to make some of the corners. It sure feels nice to just open up on the throttle and push the car

 

lol, so I placed 26th out of 32 competitors Of course as the car underdog and token novice driver I am pretty happy with it.

When I glanced at my "Fun-Runs" times I had somehow shaved off over 2 seconds off of every run which would have been very useful earlier! That represents about 10 places in the standings!!

I wasn't feeling too confident with the course until later when we got to do some of the afternoon fun runs. I was able to smooth out the corners and feel the changes in the car with all the new struts and sway bar. It has more of a tendency to want to plow if you come into a corner too hot than before. However it does hold and it is pretty forgiving if you overshoot and need to correct.

I think I am going to drop down my tire pressure for the next one, I was running 42psi (the recommended 10psi over stock) and the tires didn't feel so great.

 

Hey Nick,

Try higher pressure in the back lower on the front and now all you front sway bar guys will see what I mean about you making your cars understeer queens now :P

A rear bar would promote more neutral handling a front bar will make the front end more responsive but it will make it understeer more

 

Nah, I just need better tires..... like this guy

 

sounds like it was a good time. I cant wait to hit up one myself.
so the track was nice and smooth? drove by it a couple of time over the weekend and it seems to be a perfect location for some driving.

 

I can confirm.... it was wicked fun

The lot is pretty good, bits of loose gravel here and there but nothing that you would slide on.

We should plan a meet where we go down to Lethbridge for one of the events this summer.

 

Sounds good, I'd be up for it! Hey Nick, wanna come down and help us tonight?

 

Yeah Nick you wana come and help

I'd be up for a meet and drive down to Lethbridge for a day as well.

 

hellz ya!

PM me a location and time!

 

will have to check my schedule

 

The 6th of July and the 4th of Aug is kind of iffy for me, but the rest of the dates work well.

 

PM'ed you with install details tonight Nick!
