How do you register for Co-driving? im going to the 10th event at AMS and driving a friends SI?? im registered but how do i make sure its set up for co-driving?

just make sure you're registered in the same car/class, and like Andrew said, put a "1" in front of one your numbers.

When Scott drove my car he was 179 and I was 79.

The Protege became a POS after you hit an immovable object. Since then you've had the MR2.

 

[AZDriftR]

actually there was the Mustang for 2 months (moms car) and then the Legacy for awhile but i guess its all the same lol

 

[Rogue]

and look, you didnt show up this event.

I just couldn't get into a groove on Sunday. Maybe I'll do better this coming Sunday at AMS.

I had a good day on Sunday..

Satuday's TnT and the Traqmate data has opened my eyes....

 

[apexlater]

Data aquisition rules! You can't argue with hard data.

Just because a technique feels faster doesn't mean it is. There were sections that I was driving faster in the wet than I did in the dry because I used a different line/attack on a corner.

Now the trick is to take this data and put it together at the next event...giddy.

 

[Rogue]

but, when the track is different, how do you use the info?

 

[aMaff]

I was thinking the same thing, but most autocross courses share at least basic characteristics with eachother (ex slalom, hairpin, etc.). At least, that's the only thing I can come up with...

Anyone (besides Brian and Luke, cuz he's too cool to shag cones) wanna chime in on my course worker discussion over in soloatlanta?

 

[Rogue]

JD or the other guy should be responsible for educating the Novices on how/when to shag cones. Vets should be the one hold the flag/radio.

 

[BigB]

What do you mean if the course changes?

It is GPS based.

 

[Rogue]

the course at AMS won't look like the course we had at TF. Corners will be different, slaloms, too. What does the data teach you?

 

[BigB]

It doesn't teach me anything.. it shows me braking, acceleration, side loads, etc... and can overlay mine and Stephen's runs...

It shows me what I did in each "element". As simple as, my first run I didn't really "launch" the car. But on my subsequent starts I did and gained around .2 seconds alone.

I also tried different entries/techniques in different sections and had those overlay each other with all data points available (speed, Gs) and could see where I was in relation to each one at any particular point.

So for the future, when I am at a particular "element" I can know what the fastest way (according to my data) through it would be.

The crazy thing is, that on my last 3 class runs I was within .03x of each other. And I tried a few different things during each run. I suppose there is something to be said for consistency.

I also got first-hand experience to the sensitivities that the MR-S has to changing conditions. My first TO in the afternoon was around .6 faster than my morning runs, and the car felt great!

i was talking about Wayne's data aquisition.\


edit - guess it's the samething.

 

[apexlater]

I think it is basically the same thing. I used the DL1 from the Wrec Miazda.

Good thing you made that so clear in your questions (wink)
