The Ohio Auto-X and Track Event chat thread

Holy picture spam!!!

Thanks for all the blurry pictures of people that we don't know, participating at an event that's not in Ohio...

Are you seeing things Will?

 

[Lewis7789]

I was going to say the same thing, Will.

Chris deleted his post, Larry.

 

[WillD]

Yes, I'm going craaazyyy.

 

[hat1018]

I know. I was just trying to be a wise guy.

Now my post is out of place. dammit!

Nah, posting about it is fine by me. I just didn't think it was necessary to post 43 crappy pictures of people we do not know. Videos/pics/stories of or about yourself or people who know are fine in my opinion. Maybe others feel differently, I'm just busing your balls. (But please don't post them again, haha)

I concur. Posting IN auto-x pics on the OH thread is kinda pointless. Unless you wanted to post a couple pics of your own car. I don't take pics when working my assignment anyway.

because I definitely took pictures while trying to enter cars into the timing computer.....

That would explain the lack of the ability to focus on the subject of the picture... Unless you meant to focus on the ground/grass behind/around the car.

the grass was pretty. I wanted to roll around in it

Anyone else coming out to Painsville this Sunday for the test and tune auto-x? It's capped at 35 SCCA members but there are only 11 signed up so they are probably going to open it up to non-SCCA members.

I'm pretty excited to see that 3 other GS cars are registered. I get to see how the Fiat compares to other cars in class during a non-points event.

 

[eprx799]

I'm going out there to work, I don't think the Rx-7 will do well in a small lot, the power is all at the top of the rev range. And the Miata is still stored in winter mode.

Anyone want to do the fun day at Nelson Ledges on Saturday, May 10th? I'm thinking about it. Looks like $130 for a track day.

 

[Lewis7789]

Holy s***. Is that Ivan?! What's up, dawg!

I think a lot of us are doing the Smokey's dyno day that day. You should come to that and see what Shamu is putting down. $50 for 2 pulls.

 

[pmartz16]

shhh I'm hoping for three pulls. Idk how far Marlon got with them on that though

So... the Shakedown at the Speedway autocross was yesterday.

Holy s*** is the Abarth fun! Even with the craptastic factory tires, it managed to impress the hell out of me. I'm not going to say that the car was the best thing I've ever driven out there (because it's not), but it did a really damn good job. Maybe a set of summer tires are in order this year...

 

[rally2003]

Looks like I'll most likely be running the Alero again this Saturday for autoX unless I find someone to co-drive with
Hopefully no flat tires this time around...
