prelude same day

 

I ruv auto-Xing :ghey:

 

I think that guy was trying too hard to impress with his mad skillz.

 

dont like it? Its fun.

 

I'm with Jesal, its fun. Not this kind though, as FWD cars can't compete competetivly.
Its not like there are many tracks around and the 1/4 mile is no fun to do all the time.

In fact Autocross

 

i wouldnt even call that autocrossing. That parking lot in miniscule, and scca would never sanction an event with curbs lining the course.

 

ya, it was kind of a joke - this is like, a drifting event. it ain't autox'ing. but I don't like autox'ing either, cones = bunk. take a few laps on a roadcourse.. you will never want to autox again.

 

Oh that's awesome. I'm amazed the drifters didn't kick that idiot out...

 

april 1st is my first DE

 

It hasn't worked that way for me, I have averaged 500 or so miles a year on road courses over the last 15 years but still love to Auto-X. The cool thing about Auto-X is you can push the car to and even past the limit without fear of 10,000 dollar repair bills, try telling me that isn't in your mind in a $30/40/50/60K car at 160 mph on the back straight at Road Atlanta! Auto-Xing has consistently made my road course times better because of the time I get to spend exploring the limits of a particular chassis. Given the choice I agree I would rather be charging past the spiders at Barber or wondering how long I can delay braking past the bridge at Road Atlanta, but it is always good to drive a car with supreme anger legally!

great point... and you're totally right. I haven't raced at Road Atlanta but I have done Road America and Gingerman (in MI) and at least Gingerman seems relatively "safe" to me... I definitely wasn't at the 'edge' @ Road America, so I can't really comment on how safe it might be.

Conversely, I have myself witnessed an RX-7 TT wreck at an Auto-X event - coming out of the slalom, he lost control and slammed head-on into a fence, resulting in major frontal damage. I even have it on video somewhere, I was taping at the time it happened. Need to find it... anyways my point is, there is a potential for damage no matter what you do - just have to be careful doing it.

but again I see your point about the place of Auto-X.... there is a place for it.

srika

 

oh yea.. where at?

 

Yeah, but its not that easy to get to a road course all the time. THe closest one to me is probably Lime Rock, and thats 2.5 hrs away. Granted I still plan on going to a road course sometime this summer, but auto-x does have advantages and can be almost as fun.

 

yea.. that is a disadvantage of roadcourses.

 

Autobahn country club

 

damnnn.. how did you set that up... I heard that place was mad dollars to get into and all exclusive and sheit...

 

really? Going with the audi club.

They had 50 spots, filled up within 2 weeks now a waiting list. I barely made it.

that's not AutoX, its called Gymkhana and I don't know if its popular here, but its a japanese type of race in a small parking lot.

 

Trev, where did you get the video? I'm wondering what country that was in, Japan I'm assuming.
I like the S14, and the BOV is pretty entertaining.
I have a video of a friend at an autocross and all you hear is BOV, which it's actually pretty funny cause you hear it in parts of the course you wouldn't expect...

I just watched the Prelude video, nice ground-effects-rubbing-asphault sound, hehe..
That's interesting how it's run sort of like an Autocross though, you can see in the Prelude video where they stopped(red flagged) the next guy from coming down the course, while they waited for the Prelude to finish. Thinking about it, I guess that's in just about all kinds of racing (corner working)....
