damn ...guess i will have to run like an old man then since i have a shockwave exhaust that screams at high rmps :rofl2:

but do you think i should be ok with the patches i have on my tires for events like this?

if the person who install your patches do a good job I think you are ok :tup: Go and have fun my friend!

i'm a newb like you since I never have ran one either (probably never will based on some comments said to me by aforementioned cool autox people I came across) but if the patches were done right I don't think it would be a major problem. I mean patches are put in and driven on while being deemed a safe repair method. but under high tire temps and stress I am not sure nor an expert on that.

I had a tire shop do it...this was late last year so i think i should be good :tup:...what are the speeds/gears you guys usually run while doing autox?

Thanks bro!...it'll be cool if you would live closer, we could go together (no homo) and run lol

yea it sucked last time when I drove up alone I think that's why I didn't stay and just left.

I know I can make it to north jersey in 6 hours or so from when I would go stay with my uncle and go to devils games. pretty good drive just for auto x lol

i live about 20 from the prudential center which is not far so if you do ever come up hit me up bro..we can go for a cruise with other z's and good spots for pics under the GWB

that's about where my uncle lived in west orange. he was a trainer for the devils for a few years so I would go down for pens v devils games then go out with him and players after the games and whatnot. it was def a good time.

thats pretty cool bro :tup:

You'll typically get into 2nd gear and just hang there. Come out and race on Sunday!! It's gonna be a good time man.

oh god 2nd the whole time? yea I wont be allowed to run then lol

my exhaust is very very mean at high rpms.

Well I never run in auto-x cause those events here nobody are doing it from the earlys 2000 :shakes head: But my first run in the Z was a time attack event in January and the gears that I most use 3rd and 4th... sometimes 2nd and 5th on the drag straight... But I think in Auto-X if the track is a short configuration the gears that you are going to use I think are going to be 2nd and 3rd gear.

Quit worrying about your damn exhaust and run the freaking the car.

I plan on running if they let me run lol

i'll go kiss up a small bit if they are really crossed with me about the sound but I am not swapping out my exhaust just for a small couple hour event. not worth my time.

so if they allow it i'm running. if not then fuck em :tiphat:

My first 5 events were on my stock yoko's with a plug in the rear tire. I was safe and it held like a champ. It was done by an ex con who had a used tire shop down the street. :tup:
