mspeedP5 Auto-X Report

[mspeedP5]

Hey man nice run one day you have to get to the mainland and race with the VCMC so im not the only pro5 racing. I'm racing so i can keep the urge off the street. That or i will have to make a weekend of it and come over to the island.

I was planning to run in the Kumho Super Challenge (which I missed last year), but it's not happening this year. Instead, VCMC is hosting the 2007 Canadian Autoslalom Championship so I'll probably be coming over for that.

Very nice driving indeed.

With a name like speed, you had a lot to live up to. lol

It's in my jeans (err) genes!

Nice run! Work on those slaloms....

 

[mspeedP5]

Well I ran my first parking lot event today, didn't do that well. The course was too fast for 1st gear and a bit too slow for 2nd. Anyway, ended up 2nd in class (SM) and 9th overall. I'm looking forward to getting back to Western Speedway and a much more open venue.

haha i kept waiting for a picture to pop up in your first post from all the space.

good run, could use a little quicker spool in some spots but you carried speed very nicely. congrats on the ftd.

That lot does look pretty small, we have a few sites like that. Fun, but bigger ones are usually better

What RPM do you hit full boost at?

 

[mspeedP5]

About 3700 rpm.

Cool, was the Auto-X on the island? I'm looking for somewhere to try my first one this summer. If not Boundary Bay in Twassen, I'd be willing to catch the ferry to the island if you think the track there is good...

If you're into coming over to the Island, here's the schedule for VMSC...

We usually race at Western Speedway, but yesterday we did a parking lot show at Camosun College. I used to go over to the mainland to Boundary Bay all the time to race with the UBC Sports Car Club until I found out about the VMSC. Check them out here...

Finally, there is also VCMC here...

Try it out! It's addicting as hell!

 

[BadKarma]

Wow, that's great, thanks for the links! I'm definitely going to get into it... (thumb)

 

[mspeedP5]

Found some pics that another guy took of me at the last event...

 

[aMaff]

Cool pics. Positive camber mid-corner ftl tho

 

[mspeedP5]

Yea that doesn't look too good does it but I think the picture may be a bit decieving. I've got the front camber at -2.50. It looks like I'm almost at full right lock tho'.

I don't know man. The protege suspension loses camber in compression...

See exibit B:

Definitely shows there. What camber is that car at?

 

[aMaff]

no idea. I was running H-Stock at the time, so I know it was w/in spec (since I never played with it).
