Philly SCCA AutoX at Ripken Stadium 6/26
#1
Nothing to do this coming weekend? This event should be a good one and is only 90 miles from NoVA straight up I95 in Aberdeen, MD.

I'm thinking of going, not 100% sure yet.

Cost is $35

I fucking hate how expensive Philly region is compared to BRR.

You guys should see this one e30 up there though. This dude Frank Adams has a purple 90 325i with the works. Blown S50, some wierd suspension (looked like external reservior shocks, didn't feel like being under his car that long), and it's just trick.

I actually am gonna be up in Jersey this weekend for a family thing. Pretty sure I'll go - never been to this location yet.

Ah fuck, I didn't realize it's Saturday instead of Sunday. I have an engagement party.

Unless I can work some miracle and like work the first heat and run the second (lube up and bend over in FSP), I can't make it.

Two friends from Honda-tech are coming to pop their cherries. One has a GS-R hatch that should be pretty damn quick, and the other has a stock Mazda 3.

Meh. It's too much of a hassle to drive the two hours down and back to be back here by 4pm.

Have fun.

I'll have pics of me tomorrow (on others cameras).

I think I got 8th out of maybe 15-20 in Street Mod. Most of what beat me were M3s (bastards). My first run was a 49.5, I felt I was using too much brake. Second run was 49.4, used less brake but messed up in 2 or 3 spots. Third run, 48.0, felt pretty good but still room for improvement. Final run, 47.0, I was happy but still think I could have dropped more time since I hadn't actually settled in on a time yet... Oh well.

The course was pretty easy, nothing too tight but didn't have to hit 3rd at all. Lots of mid 2nd gear sweepers and not much braking. Understeer wasn't too bad and I almost spun the bad boy on my final run (my fastest), but body roll was owning me in the ~50mph sweepers.

Car ran well, only my 2nd event on the Azenis and they rule. Have a nasty popping noise from my front left suspension. I'm hoping the Buddy Club install fixes whatever that is. Noticed some miniscule cracks on my rotors so I'll be replacing them while I do the suspension next week.

Good lot except for some abrupt elevation changes, I'll definitely be going again.

I also took up 5 novices with me Tongue
1. Built GSR hatch, 4 DNFs :?
2. Boosted 99-00 Si, 49.4
3. STS2 Miater, 47.4
4. Bolt-on'd ITR, 49.2
5. Stock Mazda 3, 51.2
