I won't be able to make this weekend since I'm going to be in Denver. I will however make the WAI event on June 29th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rony Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 If I was in town, I would make it, but I will be out of town on business next week, including Sunday... My Car vBGarage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Living Legacy Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 What time and where? I'm interested since i'm looking into new wheels/tiers i might just be ready to beat the hell out of the set i have Check out the website for further details, but it is at Miller Park and registration is from 8-8:30 (event lasts until 4ish). I'm a little concerned that it is going to rain, but who cares, I'll probably be there anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrfroe Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 forecast isn't looking good for this. I won't be there if it's raining. Sorry. That's when it gets fun... Its about the only time you'll actually have a real chance at spinning an all-wheel-drive car. Plus the all-wheel drive cars will usually clean up when it rains... all the other cars, especially the rear-wheel-drive cars, need to park it in each corner and gain it all back on the straights, while the AWD cars can still power through the corners.

zzztech13 Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 Did anyone go to this or did it get shut down due to the storms? The storms weren't that bad up here in Port Wash. but I hear further south got pounded. Sorry for the shameless plug but in the NC (North Central)threads I posted that I'm lookin for a set of 17" LGT (5 Spoke) wheels/tires to put on my car. If any of you have gone aftermarket and have your 17's sitting around and want to get rid of them please chime in. Also I will consider used aftermarket 17's and 18's. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schneiks Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 didn't make it, was lucky enough to get a little water in my basement over the weekend! I'm planning on heading to one of the Saturday events in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Living Legacy Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Did anyone go to this or did it get shut down due to the storms? The storms weren't that bad up here in Port Wash. but I hear further south got pounded. I went and was scheduled for heats 2 and 4. Well it rained after 2 cars from heat 2 went and thus the event was postponed for an hour and 45 minutes. After that it was terrible (wet track=slow times). I couldn't run anything except for 71 second times (first three runs). Part of that reason was because on my third run I wasn't looking far enough ahead and came up on a cone that was pointed wrong. I thought I DNF'd so I enjoyed the rest of the track and parked my car. Well I was the last person to run and as I was walking to the bus they announced that I got a rerun. The announcer have a play by play of me as I almost lost in through the slalom twice, but I managed to hold on. As I came to the staging area after my run the announcer exclaimed that I had gotten my best time of the day and was in 3rd place (everyone cheered and it was pretty cool). I finished in third with a 67.491, about .8 away from first. To answer your question, yes, it was delayed, but as the track dried up everything got much better. Oh, and there was a 17 Y.O. kid driving his Dad's SPEC B y0! He finished in 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzztech13 Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 lol great stuff. Do you ever take any vids of your runs? That would be pretty cool to see. I wonder what class my non-turbo 2.5i would run in. There's just no way I could compete against a LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrfroe Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 lol great stuff. Do you ever take any vids of your runs? That would be pretty cool to see. I wonder what class my non-turbo 2.5i would run in. There's just no way I could compete against a LGT. Your car would compete with an HS (H-Stock) index. Which means that if Living Legacy had a time of 67.491 in his LGT with a D-Stock index, you would need a time of 69.195 to place in front of him for 3rd place. So there is actually a way you could compete against an LGT, because 1.7 seconds is actually quite a bit. Great job last weekend Living Legacy. I was in Denver for the weekend, so I wasn't able to make it. I will be there on the 28th though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Living Legacy Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Thanks guys, the more people that come out, the more fun it is. I'm really interested in getting to an actual track like Road America or something to that extent this year at least one time. Maybe a bunch of us can make it?

schneiks Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Anyone familiar with Evolution Driving School? One of the director's in my department here at work (Drives a Boxster) invited me to head to an event they are holding here at Miller Park (July 17th). It sounds like you get lots of training and lots of autox track time. The cost is $260 which is high compared to the cost of just Autox. Is it worth it? http://www.evoschool.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The instructors will really push you no matter how good your driving is and will always insist that there is always room to improve. I've stayed away because of the price, but there is a WAI driving school that costs around $60 on June 28th. The WAI driving school is more focused on beginners (less than 1 or 2 years experience)... I did it last year and was pretty pleased with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living Legacy Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I'm thinking about going, but I thought I heard that there was a high speed autocross at blackhawk, so I'll need to look into that a little bit more first. Does anyone know how much more track time you get at the test and tune (this Saturday?) Between the two WAI and the black hawk, I think I'm going to make it to at least one event... Hope to see some of you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudeMood Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I came there and saw a bunch of subaru's. I was taking some photos. I mainly got corvettes though. A few WRX's and some other cars. Didn't see any legacy'd fly by me. Maybe I was too late or left too early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
