Rochester roll call!

Are we looking at the same results? 8th was an EVO, and I haven't seen Sean Caron in like two years so I figured he had moved away. 10th was a Mini-S. George Little in the Eclipse came in 9th overall PAX. My estimates are pretty accurate, since I always beat Anatoly's raw time (MR-2 Spyder running in RCS). If I tie him my PAX would have put me in 11th. Hell I might have even been able to crack the top 10. My aim while on street tires is to be 2 seconds behind the fastest GS car and I can usually do that.
I can only guess that Tom Weaver, running the RSX-S has brand new R-comps, since he ran faster than the other GS car, and he hit cones (evidence of more grip), and his old tires were corded. Makes me upset that I wasn't able to make it. The 5th can't come fast enough.
LOLs,yes we are reading the same results ; I meant to update the 10th to 9th. Sean is alive and well and still the Roch area. He is breaking in his Evo w/ new suspension and wheels/tires.
kinda rough around the edges and the tags asking $8500. glwsLol, nope, not performance at all. I didn't make the trip though. The current economic situation leads me to not want to throw $1000 towards something I don't need. Although a car that holds it's value would be a better investment than my IRA right now.
It was a 1987 Nissan Pulsar SE. Yeah, not a monster car at all, but you don't need gobs of hp to enjoy every second of driving. 2100lbs, 120hp, and T-tops. I used to have the XE version, with 70hp, and I still loved every minute of driving it. It had no rust too, which is rare, and he was the original owner. I missed a good deal not buying it, but it's all about fiscal responsibility at this point.
I hear that. EVO has to wait too. No payments is good right now.
The EVO isn't small enough for me. I love tiny cars, the smaller the better. The plan is in 2013 I retire the MSP to SCCA use only, then buy a fun commuter car. Fun for me is something that can handle well and is small, while commuter car means it gets good gas mileage. Nissan Pulsar, Nissan NX1600/2000, Honda Civic hatch, Honda CRX, etc fit the bill.
Good to meet you chuck. You ended up 7th or 8th I think in Road Tire. Not bad considering a lot of people who usually run stock classes were running their street tires to save their slicks for next season. It's too bad the day ended so terribly, leaves a bad taste to the season. I ended up getting second by .065 and 12th-ish in PAX.
I'm a little slow here, but likewise good to put a face with the name. I look forward to more Auto-X next year. You are fast in that clean MSP. Yes too bad about the "incident". She is finally done w/ surgery apparently and has a lot of healing a head of her.
I hope we don't lose RIT, don't know if there are other alternatives. Did you go to the monthly meeting?

I ended up 15th in PAX. Overall for the season I averaged 93.7% of the top PAX, which means I averaged being in the top 6.3%. Looks like autocrossing for 7 years on street tires makes a bit of difference. The funny thing is that PAX is WITH street tires, so throw on r-comps and I should be in top 5% every event. Maybe at some event where Brian doesn't show up (the little F-mod car with the American flag on it) I could even get top PAX.
Yeah, I went to the monthly meeting for the first time, and it was pretty much to see how she was. I spoke with Jeff briefly, mostly because I know everyone has been asking. He said she would be getting out of the hospital the next day (the 8th) and would be weight bearing in 4-6 months. I know a little bit about how much that would suck, because I was non-weight bearing for 4 weeks and it was awful. I can't imaging how tough that will be for 4 times the length, not to mention the rehab afterwards. After my knee surgery it took me about 5 months before I was jogging, and I still don't have 100% of my leg strength back (14 months now), and I'm 28 years old. She's going to have a tough time coming back.
We might lose RIT, we might not. They shouldn't care too much because SCCA covers everything and is investigating the incident, and it's covered by the SCCA insurance. If they are assholes about it, we'll lose it and they won't let BMW club or anyone else run there either. If that happens, we'll likely move all events to Seneca, possibly an event or two at Batavia (WNY runs there once a year), and maybe even Xerox again.
If you plan on participating a lot next season you might want to come to the picnic on November 2nd. It's my first time going, but I have heard it is a good time.
