Yo Ben! I'm a noob to autox! I'm down...

[ChuckP]

If you go I'll go. I won't be the only slow n00bz0rz.

^Im down.

Can someone point me in the direction of some more information. Are all those events at the same place? In Oakland? Is there a webpage i can browse? TIA

[Ben]

Google SCCA.

[SavageEvo8]

dude dont even trip on if ouve been out or not. these are way kick back. just have your car safe and ready to go, and just have fun with it. no one expects everyone to be fast... ill be making a snail trail myself, but i dont even care...

[Segfault]

Migh be interested in this. how much? That website only show $15 mebership fee..?

It's $35 at the site. For norcalufo and american auto-x you don't have to be a member. For SCCA, you do and it's $90/yr + the site fee.

I forget how much GGLC is since you pay for it online at motorsportreg, but it's a little more expensive. However, you get a full day, a 70person cap normally, and lunch. You don't have to be a member, but you don't get first dibs on registration.

www.sfrscca.org/solo2 (http://www.sfrscca.org/solo2)

Now can you pay for us?

[chrisw]

Now can you pay for us?

only if you lend me the money.

[Ben]

only if you lend me the money.

You got a deal. Sucker!

[chrisw]

You got a deal. Sucker!

Ok...

that kind of makes me a lending institution which enables me to apply for the federal bailout assistance under the TARPA program.

I'll get back to you once I have my billion dollars.

Wow this thread got retarded

[Ben]

Wow this thread got retarded

So why even post here?

[DoggDicker]

So why even post here?

Hey now...don't be picking on one of my fellow autocrossers...


Dennis

[joshesh]

^Autocrossers unite!

[chrisw]

You'll give me a billion dollars?

No but the fed will.

I figure if larry flynt can ask for money, I can form an autocrosser entrance fee lending company (AEFLC) that finances autocross entrance fees through federally backed securities. With the meltdown in the economy I am forecasting a growth market here.

I need a ceo, care to apply for the position?

I pay a $1 in salary plus a generous golden parachute and useless and unwarrented bonuses for missing performance targets.

:grin:

[vietnameeh]

wowwwwwwwwwww justinnnnn

[justint5387]

wowwwwwwwwwww justinnnnn

I came to this forum for track days info. :icon_razz:

[Ben]

i dont know cause i actually autox?

You mean this isn't NorCalEvo anymore? Why didn't anyone tell me it was NorCalAutoX. I hope that when I start going to these kinda things people are actually chill and not cocks.

[DoggDicker]

I tried to get you to come out when I was there, but you were too kewl. Why the different t00n??? :nana:

I thought you liked cock...so what's the problem???

Dennis

[Segfault]

Depends what kinda food you bring me. It's customary for new people to bring the vets some sandwiches and soda :-)

P.S. If the roach coach is there, eat at your own risk...

[Ben]

Come back already so we can autox.

[joshesh]

tank you brotha - broda
roach coach FTL :(

[Ben]

I don't know about where you guys are from but around Concord roach coaches are the shit.

[chrisw]

I don't know about where you guys are from but around Concord roach coaches are the shit.

the SCCA organizers only hire the best roach coaches (when they remember to contact them)

As long as you don't try anything to exotic, the food is pretty good..

[DoggDicker]

Come back already so we can autox.

I wish, but I'm off doing bigger things now. No autocrossing for the next 10 months. If you try it, I guarantee you'll be hooked. Is anyone a cock at these events...depends...the veterans...no, the noobs...yes, as they are the ones with the attitudes. The vets are pretty laid back and usually willing to answer any questions. Have fun...

[DoggDicker]

Dennis

[joshesh]

No problem Isacc, hopefully they will treat you as well as they did for me last season ;)

[vietnameeh]

oo wth you got josh's crusty v710s... haha buy some hoosiers!

[joshesh]

hoosiers don't last a whole autox season and the V710's do, when they are the same price I'm going for the kumho's anyday.

[willitas34]

how much is this going to be?

[chrisw]

there ya go... the SCCA has a temporary onsite registration for an extra $15 if you are not a SCCA member.

[evosti]

I still need to get a retune! Fucking pigs fucked up my attempt at showing up on weekends. Thankfully I'll probably not be chasing any tail for a bit so I might be showing up and showing you guys how rubbing is racing. At least that's what I've heard!

[Ben]

how much is this going to be?

N00b it was posted like a page ago. If you're going I'm definitely going.

[vietnameeh]

Dennis

[joshesh]

^Bring it on suckas, Arnold and I need another set of evo drivers to keep us on our toes ;)

[evosti]

I'd roll and show you how to do this stuff hungover but sadly with how work is going I'd rather sit at home and not use any funds that I might need to survive on :) Have fun all you crazy kids.

[DoggDicker]

Charles...you could always show up and get ride-a-longs...

Dennis

[ricardomotorhead]

So how many from this forum are going?
anyone from the south bay?

[vietnameeh]

ill be there im in santa clara, but i might be in Berkeley that

[DoggDicker]

I'll only be observing from this forum, as I'm a little too far away to attend. There should be about 4-5 regulars from here going. G/l to all.

Dennis

[joshesh]

Here is a list of the regulars:

1. Segfault (issac)
2. Joshesh (josh)
3. ChrisW (chris)
4. aescano (Arnold)

I am from the santa cruz area, so is chris - but issac and arnold are in the san jose area.

0. VIETNAMEEEEEEHHHHHH (EDISON)

[joshesh]

^You don't count edison, Honduh's dont make my lists :p

[chrisw]

well I am going to try to be a regular... money is tight this year.

[ricardomotorhead]

Yeah I absolutely understand you, fun gets expensive, specially when having to drive up and spend money on gas, tires, brakes, hotels, or what not.
California should allow more tracks to be open spread around the entire state to make things nicer for all of us who want to have fun in a control enviroment (without any law enforcement hassles)

[The Phreak]

Wait so its $35 to participate if you're not a member?

[vietnameeh]

Wait so its $35 to participate if you're not a member?

its $35 for everyone... but you have to pay $15 for a temp membership for taht day

[The Phreak]

Oh ok. Will they have loaner helmets?

[Segfault]

Yes, they have loaners. You gotta hand the guy in your trailer your CA Driver's license.

[The Phreak]

Yes, they have loaners. You gotta hand the guy in your trailer your CA Driver's license.

Thought so. Cool enough. I'll roll through too, I'll be the guy with the black 3000gt.

[DoggDicker]

What's the word???

Dennis

[Segfault]

I got hammered by Josh and Arnold. I managed a 46.4, which had the potential to be a mid to high 45. I tried to take the last turn a littler wider but ended up hitting the gravel.

One thing I need to really work on now is knowing when to break or just lift with the slicks. I swear those things want me to stay on the accelerator 24/7.

[grazzo]

I wanna play too...

[Segfault]

Watch the hi-def link so you don't see blurry cones.

Seat time brother...and yes, you can stay on the throttle longer and sometimes don't have to lift with the sticky r-comps...because of the extra grip.

Dennis

Looked like a lot of fun!!! I should show up to SCCA to run with a big boys one day. I haven't run on the course with slalom for a while. UFO had one even with lots of slalom and after that, I haven't seen any. I miss them.

[vietnameeh]

isaac just close your eyes... youll go faster

[vietnameeh]

dam old harold laid the smack down on you guys haha

[DANRR05]

nice video , what camera are you using. Was it mounted to the windshield? Anyway to pick up better light. Looked like it was night time , can that be adjusted?

[joshesh]

dam old harold laid the smack down on you guys haha

So sad to lose to a National Champ, but I'll catch him before this season is up... mark my words.


nice video , what camera are you using. Was it mounted to the windshield? Anyway to pick up better light. Looked like it was night time , can that be adjusted?

It was night time danny, sun set in our eyes and only on the last run could you actaully see where the cones were :/

[Segfault]

Yeah, it sucked.

Camera is a sony DCR-HC52 and was windshield mounted. I don't know how to auto-adjust balance in video. App suggestions?

[DoggDicker]

Harold's Vette is prepped to the limit. Good luck beating him...

Dennis

[vietnameeh]

ya but josh hes your mark, build your car and your skills, you can do it... but i dont think harold comes out very often maybe you can persuade him to hahaa...

if i remember right.... harold lost at nationals by a second by the crazy evos! thats .5 each day
go get em!

he didnt have a tire warmer this event either did he haha oooo dammm

[Segfault]

Edison's just mad we all beat him this time :-p

P.S. I might have to bring you out to tire warm again

[vietnameeh]

:P

i would <3 to warm your tires

[darkonion]

I didn't do too bad. Not too well either. Either way, it was a good learning experience.

[vietnameeh]

at least i beat kevin HAHAHAHHA

[DANRR05]

Harold's Vette is prepped to the limit. Good luck beating him...

Dennis

Josh will beat him, he never misses a event. nearly impossible to win every time.

[darkonion]

at least i beat kevin HAHAHAHHA

I know... I am slow... :(

[DoggDicker]

Josh will beat him, he never misses a event. nearly impossible to win every time.

Harold is a top National driver and just like Edison hinted at, he's placed in the top 5 over the last few years in BSP, he know's his car and it's prepped to the ruleset. In the dry, I don't think Josh he beat him. In the wet, it'll even out the odds, but I'd still bet on Harold, nothing personnel, it's just that Harold's that good of a driver.
All I have to say is...good luck...

im with dennis on this one....

Josh is a very good driver, i think he can do it with more time, as of right now... harold is his mark

harold beat josh by a second on 50 second course
national course are usually 60+ seconds

harold lost by pretty big margin to bsp evos at nats

josh needs to make up that second he lost by then win by another second to be in the same level as the nat BSP evos...

its HOOSIER time josh :)

you can only get better josh, u got arnold and if harold starts to come out more you can work on catching him... looks like u should go to sac events cause thats where i seen harold also

You both will eat your words by the end of the season, I'll make sure of it. Last slush series, in the dry, I was only .5 sec behind Harold - he only gets me on his last run because he is so good at improving on the next run he gets. Last sunday on my second run I was .5 sec behind his best and 3rd run, with 1 cone though :(

So really I am only .5 sec behind him and I think I have a lot of learning room left, I mean I have only been autoxing for a little over 1 year ;)

:buds::buds: hahah good luck, i still think you can do it...

remember your in the overdog car :P haha

your faster than me so what do i know hahaha

[joshesh]

:buds::buds: hahah good luck, i still think you can do it...

remember your in the overdog car :P haha

your faster than me so what do i know hahaha


No, no. Keep telling me that I can't do it... it will only make me want to do it more and more :)

My car may be the overdog but I haven't even come close to maxing out the BSP mods yet ;)

[Segfault]

My plan is in fruition...I'm gonna LET Josh beat me a couple more times, then crush him!!!!

[vietnameeh]

No, no. Keep telling me that I can't do it... it will only make me want to do it more and more :)

My car may be the overdog but I haven't even come close to maxing out the BSP mods yet ;)

haha your like me! except im slow haha

[DoggDicker]

If you want to beat Harold, ditch the Kumho's. Hoosier is the faster tire...by far, and now the only r-comp tire that pays when you play.
You also need to go down to SD in March for the National Tour and LA for the Pro Solo if you want to see were you stand in the real BSP world. SFR has only one National level driver that competes in BSP, and he's beating you. Whether it's by .001 or 10 seconds, you are still second. I'm not trying to make fun of you either.
Incase you are not following the SCCA forum, a lot of BSP drivers and non drivers are pretty bent on having the Evo reclassed, as it's a big overdog. It tore up ESP...then it was reclassed to BSP, where it's been tearing it up ever since. Honestly, I except it to be reclassed soon. I know it's been thrown out there about being pushed into ASP...and possibly making it's own Rally car class.

Dennis

[vietnameeh]

Ive mentioned to josh that he does have to go to sd tour and el toro prosolo... to play with the BSP evo down there

[joshesh]

I plan on stepping up to the plate for at least one of the tours down south. I am also pretty set on making a trip to nationals this year too ;)

And DD, I have only had 2 chances to drive against the x-Nat champ and I am still getting better at driving my car since the rear diff install. I hear you on the hoosiers, maybe if I get rich I'll buy a set for the big time events.

[DoggDicker]

Josh...I wasn't trying to bust your balls, just pointing out what I've seen over the last three years while I was in that Region.
I do remember you talking about going to the Nationals this year. My suggestion to you is find out what type of surface it's being held on, and then find something local that's pretty similar so you can adjust your suspension, and then fine tune during the practice session. It's usually the day prior to the start of the Nationals, but you have to sign up early, and it usually fills up in one day too. Not sure if you are on the SCCAForums? If you are not, start looking.

hey if arnold cant warm your tires for the sd tour....

i think we should talk

[stockIX]

Any driving tips you guys can give? I still need to improve at least 2 secs..

[vietnameeh]

in slow fast out

[joshesh]

in slow fast out

Good theory, I'll have to try that next time :)

Your 1st on my list if Arnold can make it to SD.
