BRR Autocross in Verona on 10/4/09

What a great time. It was my first and I thought it was a fun course. My runs:

66.929
61.306 +1 for a 63.306
61.174
60.208

I wanted to go out have fun, learn a little with each run, and put it to good use and I feel like I did that. Can't wait to see what the other Integra's ran... Jake, thanks for the tips on the walk-through.

The wagon full of MMers was definitely a highlight of the day. It was good to see some of the people I normally see and meet a few more...and get to see them all in action. Some nice frickin cars in this club being tested/used/abused, its awesome.

I will definitely be back. It's a great way to get some hard driving in with minimal investment (time and money).

Had an absolute blast today! It was great to finally drive at one of these events and as everyone predicts I'm totally addicted. Between this and riding Adam's CBR i've mentally spent faaaaar too much money this weekend. My runs followed a nice progression, i finished up with a 58.1 and felt like I could have gone faster with another try, but i guess thats kind of the point.

Big thanks to everyone who come out today! It was awesome to see a bunch of new faces and also see a strong alumni involvement! Hope too make this kind of number a regular occurrence!

You know, I saw a few Miatas for sale on Rt 11 heading back to JMU this afternoon, probably pretty cheap

We do have one more event this year at the Salem Civic Center on November 1. It is a great lot and less than a 2 hour drive down 81 from JMU

Something tells me I will end up at this event... we'll see based on interest I guess!

SO MUCH FUNNNNNNNNNN



now i owe Justin a finger, and someone has gotta help me get all the cone blood off my car

[Goodspeed]

That was awesome. Great weekend all around, and the most fun auto-x I've been to. Its really the people that make or break it and having 18 or so MM'ers was epic.

My best run was actually a 61.x, but I hit two cones entering the stop box, fail.

[DavidM]

Good showing all around, although I'm not sure how much stock I put in the PAX times...I think Dr. Thomas' time was a lot more impressive than mine.

Had a great time except for blowing my power steering line first run!!!

Huge thanks to Mike D for letting me use his m3 for two runs, coulda dropped a lot of time, but didnt want to beat up on his car too bad, especially cause I quickly found out despite his car supposedly having abs......didnt...lol.


Wheee powersteering fluid enhanced sideways corrections.... (First run where powersteering fluid dumped)

[BLINGMW]

18 MMers! Nice! You could almost host your own autocross....

Nice vid, and the car sounds good. This looks so confusing to me though. I can see myself getting really lost and just driving aimlessly around random cones lol.

Well it hasn't happened yet, but it could be in my future if I ever try to autocross lol.

Wow what a good time. Great to see all the faces new and old. I'm also glad all the other cars went ahead and took care of all the gravel for me since I ran in the final group of the day.

Well it was a good time... until:



The front end of my car suddenly fell off on my first run. Then I got home and discovered my tires decided they were no longer to be contained by my suffocating front fenders. I now have a 1/4" crease on both sides, and basically nowhere to go except to roll the front fenders, or raise the ride height which is maxed out on the collar. So... well next season I will have this worked out. See you all for karting.

Yea thanks to peter I got to throw my first red flag ever at an autox while working :lol: Sorry about the damage though man. It really hurt picking up parts from an MMers car scattered all over the track.

I had a blast as well. I took some advice from Kyle and tried not to overdrive the car quite as much and I definitely think it worked. I didn't shred the front tires nearly as bad and even though the runs didn't feel as fast, I believe my times were quicker. Unfortunately David L beat me by 8 1/100ths of a second too which is bittersweet. Oh well just more motivation for another mod or two :twisted:

[DavidL]

Try 8 tenths of a second! Dont try to make it seem like it was close!!
