Holy crap, I was way off line here all day long... except in Zak's wagon, which was setup to rotate. The other 2 pics are amazing. Thanks! Lol, didnt hit the horn... hit my wipers 2 seconds into my fastest run tho... Next time I'll have to "accidentally" lay on the horn!
more of Taras' photos: Taras hanging on for dear life here... Zak's car was really loose... turn, oversteer, recover, turn, oversteer, recover all the way through the front half lol: Hmm, the gates look much smaller in my car!
Pull the fuse out as part of your pre-event car prep. This was a really good event. The course was a major challenge for most of us, but the weather was nice, we got in 7 timed runs, and plenty of fun runs for all at the end. Well, it's time to stop monkeying around. I'm calling the guy at Ground Control... Stuart.
dude that was me in the wagon. It was totally sick. I have may more nice pics. i will post more. Just need to get them into photobucket. I have a couple nice shots of that mercur sliding through the turns.
Its had the full oversteer setup for midway, its not so much loose as how you actually want it to autocross and get good rotation and oversteer. If you push it the car will spin or drift, but controlling that gets you around the cones faster. Got to rotate that car through the tight stuff, but it gives up high speed stability, I don't run those same settings for the street.
Where's the fun in that? I like the driver induced obstacles :laugh:... Like at PCA/COM when I didnt realize I had a massive hole in my pocket until my cell phone slid down my leg and found itself snuggly wedged between my right ankle and my jeans mid-slalom (also on my fastest run that day). Thank you and your wife for the delicious cupcakes btw!
It's definitely setup different from mine... started to get the hang of it by the last sweeper into the hairpin tho. I really like your setup. If I hadnt already spent $350 for a tune, I'd be slapping a td04 back on it right now... Oh, and I should have got a wagon lol
You're welcome. I'll pass the message on. For those of you not in the know, we made 116 mini Monkey Cupcakes to hand out at the event. Yep, we did this just for fun. Did you know that frosted cupcakes on a hot sunny day get progressively harder to decorate as the day wears on ? Here's a picture of some of the more successful ones from the morning. Stuart.
When it comes time to paint this car all the same colour, there's only one choice: Ford Nimbus Grey. It will look spectacular, and I will be envious. Very, very envious. Stuart.
Ah, nice color! I am definately going silver/gray of some kind. I am planning on body work and paint this winter too. It's going to be a big job but one of the most rewarding.
Nice dumpster! Anywho, got any pics of an old red wagon that is at the starting line on that pic? I'd appreciate that.
