The weather seems to be following my availability patterns lol. Anytime I can't make it to autox, the event is canceled.

[whitetiger]

Bump for the 26th.

[slimjoe]

Another bump since I might be there for only half the day.

[whitetiger]

Ok people. tomorrow is the next event!!! sign up now!!!

[SubLo]

I'm in. Registered. Dragstrip afterwards

[SubLo]

Autocross you lazy mofo tri-state turds! Tons-o-fun. Plus, you can drag when you're done - snicker, snicker. I did both today... story about that to come later.... Pix coming too... Only 4 of us Leggy's representin' today. Step up! It's not bad at all on your car if that's what you fear. You don't need a BBK to do this. Come on down!

A few choice pics. I couldn't get any other LGT'ers as we were all in the same grid.

 

Joe hard at work... trying desperately to get up on 3 wheels

hey joe, you really should talk to Perry about taking event photos for him. you are doin some good work.

[MonkeyHermit]

hey roland, nice improvment in time!

 

Thanks Josh. Was actually planning on asking you how else I can improve. I was speaking with my friend Benny and there are drastic differences in our driving styles. Main thing is it seems I'm not getting on the brakes hard and short enough and my slalom technique is horrible If I post up a video, would you be able to help critique my driving a bit? Was also thinking I should go to the MSNE school one of these Friday's for more seat time.

 

I know I can do more with my current setup, but I'm not sure how I can improve my acceleration if I brake hard like everyone else given the N/A and 4EAT... I don't want to lose too much speed and then have to get back up again

[whitetiger]

seat time is the main thing. with the slalom, you just have to have the cconfidence to go though it at a constant or increasing speed with out braking or hitting the gas too hard. maybe at the next event, i can convince them to let me take you out in my car or i can drive you car to give you an idea of what im talking about.

Yeah, I actually talked to him for a while during the third heat Saturday. I mentioned that I took a few pictures in the previous events and sent him links to them yesterday so we'll see where that goes.

 

Roland, if you do go to one of the MSNE days, let me know. I need all the practice I can get.

Car fixed itself (suspecting a bad wheel bearing), so I'm up for the next one.

And a wagon at that.... we'll see how much body roll I'll get compared to your sedan. Any suspension mods on yours? Mine is unmolested (for now).

Hello everyone, Its me Benny in the Mini. I have no idea what is going on and what to post at my own Mini forum and since here has a nice atmoshpere I thought I might as well join in. And also it was very nice meeting you all at the events on Sat. Please continue helping out the newbie (ME) because sometimes I am just clueless!
