Nice!

Well it is final. After this winter the MSP will be a NFG car for autoX in SMF next year. Back seats will be out and harness bars, maybe cage will be in

you know, you could have saved yourself a lot of trouble if you had bought mine...

You wanted more than Nate and yours is technically a little beyond SMF. I still want to stay within SMF, because I would get killed in XP or the other prepared classes that car fits into. I would have maybe bought your if I tracked more, but I don't have the money for that. That s*** is expensive. So I'm going to make MSP#2 (Nate's MSP) my DD since the body is in way better shape and make not have to worry about blowing up MSP #1 on trips to see you guys and just take the other one. It will be nice to have a reliable MSP again like mine was when I bought it. I never had any issues with my car besides the little things the jackass before me did to it.

 

[princess peach]

well, when you put it that way...

Holy crap. Tessa is bringing the CooperS out Sunday to auto-x. I never thought I would see the day. I guess she got a boner after watching the movie Rush last night too! Woo-hoo!

Crap! I wish I could be there to see that.

Tessa did good for a first timer! And she seemed to enjoy it too. Another one gets the bug.

Damn wish I could have gone. My turbo started smoking last night so I made an executive decision to park the car as much as I can till I get the new snail in.

 

[El_Diablo]

Thats just an excuse to go big turbo.... you've had some light oil smokage/haze for a while now.



At least you did in the last videos, lol.

 

[pmartz16]

Yeah well now I left a cloud behind me. And you already know the plan. I wad just hoping to sell my turbo for more. And I need to preserve my turbo now till I find a suitable winter beater. My other car didn't work out as planned.

I had a blast yesterday. The first time ever I've been able to control drift every corner. My friend that has a Aston Martin said he could have swore that my car was rear wheel drive. I forgot how much fun the stock setup could be with crap rated and a snow tire could be. I still somehow kept up with my friends cars was only behind must of the nice STX cars by .5-1sec and they run a 200 series tread tire. Good Times! Now it is time for the mad scientist to get his s*** together and get ready to stomp some ass next year

That sucks. Let me know when the time comes to get rid of your K04. I might be interested if I don't have other plans.

Good times riding along with Marc yesterday! First run was too funny!

Yeah, she had a blast and will come out to more next year.

Marc is a jive turkey. For anyone that didn't see, Marc NAILED the first cone right next to Tessa on his first run to make her work. And I saw Sho's big smile from his helmet. lol!

 

[WillD]

Good news!

You guys should start sharing a car!

Lol, i cheesed so hard. I didnt think Marc would actually do it!

 

[Cleverfrog]

Hey Corey, when is the 3rd annual AJ will probably not make autox/meet? lol (I know we have to wait for the next year's schedule.)

 

[Lewis7789]

Lol, i cheesed so hard. I didnt think Marc would actually do it!

I was so confused! I thought there was no way he would be THAT off course. I was laughing so hard. Tessa said "I did not wear the right bra for running today...". So while I was corner captain I made her reset tons of cones. Hot.

But yeah, if your significant others get into auto-x, do not work the same corner as them. Tessa does not like taking orders from me. Thank goodness Pablo's friend Mike was there to help out. haha

 

[THE Phen]

I'm really shocked that I didn't get called for more cones. During one of my runs I was thinking in my head "well, there's one. There's another one. And another, s***!"

 

[Lewis7789]

Was it me or did it seem like there wasn't many course workers for the 2nd session? Regardless, pretty awesome you guys got 8 runs.

Oh, and Dave and I went to PittRace saturday for their SCCA piggy back event and that place was really nice. They auto-x on the skid pad so it's prefectly smooth. Steel Cities SCCA does a great job and very organized, friendly and helpful. We both had a good time. The $6.75 toll cost and 1.5 hour drive will probably sway a lot of people away but I will go there more often next season.

 

[princess peach]

Either the 1st group missed off courses, or whoever was in corner 2 wasn't calling them in correctly, or people were actually going off (which were a lot of noobs). I think we were doing a good job keeping up (in the trailer)

 

[pmartz16]

I would love to go to other places. I want to do a lot more track days next year but I will still do autox here and there in between track days. The turbo I got isn't exactly the best for autox but it will still work just gotta keep those rpm's up
