Time for new tires...
 
Mike, it looks like I will be missing Winchester this week.

I just noticed that my front passenger side and rear drivers side tires are down to their cords.

I should have a new set of RE-11's mounted for Woodbridge.

03threefiftyz 07-08-2011 08:44 PM

I'll be down in Waldorf for the BMW event on Saturday this weekend.

ResIpsa 07-11-2011 11:05 AM

Well used RE-11
 
Mike, check out my driver side rear tire.:facepalm: I am driving around on one snow tire until my tires arrive.

Planning on going to the next event on Oct 8th. I see a gray 370Z is already registered for it, is that you ResIpsa?

03threefiftyz 09-29-2011 08:43 PM

That's him. I registered, but am not 100% I will be there. Plan to run AI in Waldorf on Sunday, though.

b1adesofcha0s 09-29-2011 09:04 PM

What times do these events last till?

03threefiftyz 09-29-2011 10:33 PM

They group the non-member/novices in the 4th heat....you probably won't be done until 4-5pm....

Yeah I totally agree with you on that, I need to attend one myself.:tup:

03threefiftyz 10-08-2011 04:42 PM

So,

What did you think? I was going to see if you wanted to ride with me in the afternoon, but you were gone. Sorry I didn't introduce myself...

It's cool, I figured that was you. Great times BTW :tup:

I had so much fun today! Want to go again, but it will probably have to wait till next season. I had Ted sit in the car with me to help me out and he taught me a lot in such a short time. I went off course twice (wrong side of pointer cone and forgot to do the loop twice) and got a 56 sec and 54 sec run in. Ted said I did pretty well considering it was my first time :tup:

I did get to meet and talk to Mike in the other gray 370Z though. He was really cool too :tup:

Took some pics of Mike's car that I'll post up later. Also got some videos of the Cayman S I got to ride in.

03threefiftyz 10-08-2011 06:05 PM

Yeah... All of my runs were 40.8-41.2 except the first run....

I'll take it for being on 255 street tires. The S2k's got quicker in the afternoon....and I didn't. I probably ended up 6th or 7th overall.

My car is set-up for hoosier race tires...still a work in progress on street tires.

Autocross is all about seat time. Also, visualization as you walk and looking far ahead while running. You will learn to trace the line about 3-4 corners ahead. Your hands/steering wheel will follow the path your eyes take.

Yeah I gotta work on looking further ahead. I was running on mix matched all season tires. :icon17:
