Thread: DFW AutoX and Time Trials

OK a f'n ALERO showed up today...

Somehow got grass inside my car...
YouTube - So that is how grass got in the car.....
Going in the 80-90 mph range there. Maybe a little more... I don't look down.

LMFAO!!!!

G'Damnit man keep the car from spinning out! You look like a fuckin' tool in a chick's Miata that you can't even drive! How embarrassing!!!!

HAHA Thanks Cliff. I'll keep that in mind. Wish I thought of that.

Oh AND I won my class by 1.5 seconds. The lap I spun out... the time was good enough for 3rd place.

go drifting so you can learn not to spin out. was there for the drifting yesterday. its a bit too far if not id be there for some grip action

I dunno, it's looks like a pretty shitty surface for good traction

ROFL Uh no thanks. My car is not setup to drift and I am not going to f it up to drift when I am dialing in my setup.

When your car breaks loose in middle of a >1g turn sometimes you can't catch it especially since I went from good grip surface to gravel. Drifting won't help there. That was a fairly violent loss of traction there.

The main lines have TONS of traction... Get off a little and you are f'd in the A.

I kind of figured judging by the weeds growing in the cracks, gravel couldnt be far behind. Should brought the Intrigue out since there was an Alero out there

If it was a consistent surface it wouldn't have been as bad.

That is what I was thinking... Intrigue vs Alero showdown.

Racing is in full swing again. Did time trials saturday morning (fastest time of day), instructed autox in afternoon (got new guy in M3 to go faster than Viper driver with a little experience), and then raced autox sunday (Won class).

Calendar of events at top. If you come out you are more than welcome to ride with me and I can help teach. For time trials you HAVE to have experience on the track and/or autox. Cones come up very fast.

Here is vid from Sunday:
