Talking auto-x #3 with new setup video
Quick clip from auto-x last Sunday @ El Toro. I cross posted this in the events forum. Porsche Club of America (PCA) Orange County Region (OCR) put this on, great event. 70 bux, got a free t shirt and two aluminum water bottles, and a hotdog/potato salad lunch.

Last of 3 timed runs (normally they have 4 but daylight savings is a problem). This is after 8 practice runs. I tried to find my instructor but he was no where to be found. I was alone. Less weight

After watching the video, there were tons of places where I could have gone faster, taken a better line, braked in a better place, etc. And I slowed down right before the finish b/c I didn't want to take out the timing equipment lol. I had to roll on the gas on some parts b/c the tires would just spin.

The next mods to the car are going to be an aftermarket steering wheel and new wheels/tires. 285/30/18 tires all around on 18x10 CCW classics are my plan

I sure did I'm telling you, we are so very lucky to have a venue as open as El Toro close by, not to mention the Porsche guys who put this on. They are very organized and put on a great show. For those of you who like to autocross or think you would like it, you have to get to their events. It's not clear how long they (or perhaps another organization) will be able to put these on. They had them practically monthly in 2011, I think it will be similar next year, I think the first one is in Feb though

I think I'm gonna take a break for a few months b/c I actually have been trying not to spend money on stuff due to job insecurity, even though I have a new (temporary) gig. I would still be willing to come out and spectate/video even if I wasn't driving...

Thanks dude. I wasn't to be perfectly honest. I was trying to keep my cool... first time there. I'll tell you one thing... that track is all about SPEED. It's intimidating at first. I think you'd like it

But hey... a little update... here's a little clip I took with my phone two weeks ago. 1st gear roll on to 4th gear pull.


Also... guys... we are looking for people to come to our track day April 19!!!! Please PM me if interested. $250 Big Willow Track. Private rental.

Motorgen event: http://motorgen.com/forum/calendar.p...=2013-4-19&c=1

Cool haven't posted in a while lol
Haven't posted in a while. I came in here to see if you guys wanted to come out for a private track day October 9th (it's a WEDNESDAY.. I know it will be tough to get off of work) at Willow Springs big track. I posted in the EVENTS section:

http://motorgen.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52152

Anyway, random pic I took at work the other day. I have a fresh gash on the front D/S bumper cover, thanks to shit that fell off my garage shelf. I'm about due to repaint the old girl lol
