The Ohio Auto-X and Track Event chat thread

I'd drive out there for a national event but not for a local one.

IDK if its so much a local event. That's the state wide regional challenge I guess.

That's 4.5 hours from me. I'll just stick to local stuff.

If it was a true "Because Race Car" I would have a trailer too.

 

[Cleverfrog]

well Im glad I did trailer mine. My brakes are making weird noises this morning. Started when I pulled into work I think the bracket is rubbing. poor design.

Any time Chris. I had a great time. If my car is running before that Hoosier challenge I would be curious to make it out that way. The AWR rsb is great for autoX. Lower spring rates in the front tban rear are great too alonv with Rcomps for competing with the big boys. I think front springs are like $45 through Kspoet.

I was thinking about the july 7th one but idk if I can go two weekends in a row. plus I want new tires because I think that was a huge limiting factor for me. But I would like to hit the OSU one on the 13th-14th

 

[Cleverfrog]

herm, idk if Im going to lower the spring rates yet. I want to get the proper rear sway bar setup first and see what happens. The coils will move if I lower the dampening more. Just didn't really think about fiddling with it once we started doing the runs.

Disconnecting a front sway bar with a big rear is lots of fun! Some of my fastest times were when that happened. (I broke an endlink, so it wasn't by choice)

Once I'm actually in town when an event hits, I'll be sure to come out with you guys. I need to do this again.

an hour and four minutes but that drive home from toledo was rough lol

 

[Lewis7789]

Haha, I was checking out the MOSCC website to get some more info and such and hoping that with such a small group at least they posted results so I can send them to Mazdaspeed. Yep, they post results alright...

[WillD]

Haha.

 

[Lewis7789]

ps- Patrick, I apologize I totally forgot to tell you about your numbers. Heck, I almost forget mine when loading up the car. If they weren't stuck to the big metal cabinet Marc gave me I would walk right past them and pull out of the garage.

But if you want some cool numbers like mine hit up ^^^ that guy.

 

[WillD]

Thanks Evan!

Chris also didn't have numbers I noticed!!
