mspeedP5 Auto-X Report

As long as that vette keeps showing up I'll never get FTD.
The guy in the Porsche is just an occasional drop-in.
That's 2 in a row though for 1st in SM.

Keep it up Mark!! Way to rep the P5!

Awesome! What has the gusto to beat you when you don't win? It must be sick.

On a side note: I got my fisrst win in ST today...and of course my camera died on the first run, so no video or pics :-(

Also in a P5 by the way.

Awesome! What has the gusto to beat you when you don't win?

It's actually "Who". I invited my tuner to drive my car at a shakedown a couple of events ago and he beat me by .04 sec.!

It huts when you get beat in your own car...I know from experience. But damn .04 that is close. Keep owning the Skylines!

 

[aMaff]

Not really... I look at that and go "check out what my car can do!" and try to learn from it...

 

[Falango]

That also means that your tuner knows what he's doing

 

[mspeedP5]

Ya, he's actually a rally driver. He races a purpose built civic so he can really handle a FWD.

 

[Falango]

If you can handle a FWD in the dirt, I'm sure you can manage on something that gives a bit more traction, something a bit more predictable, lol.

Replaced the clutch, transmission on Friday and ran a SOLO I event today! More details and video to follow.

I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I was in some very fast company.

THere was an Ariel Atom there? But awesome job sir. I hope to be doing this one day in the not too distant future. Only difference is I'll be doing it in an automatic

 

[mspeedP5]

THere was an Ariel Atom there?

That was last year. Sweet car.

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Oh lol I failed to look at the post date. Either way, great job.

 

[Falango]

Good stuff Mark!! That pesky Vette is back I see, lol. Any onboard videos?

Went to a Vancouver Island Porsche Club autocross event on Saturday. Beat all the Porsches!

Here's some video of last Saturday from another participant. I'm still editing mine and I'll have it up here soon.
