Course was fast as hell for Winchester, I was doing a good bit of bouncing off the 2nd gear rev limiter in a stock m3. Wish I could have stayed the entire day but the morning runs was all I could fit in. I dont know how other guys consistently do morning runs, it sucks to run, then run back to the ...

Awesome!! Hope its the October or November event as those are the only two I can make the rest of the season. Love to see where im really at, last time I weighed my car it was 3356 with me in it (170-180lbs).

Wow that is clean on the outside!!! Gorgeous miata man, good luck with the sale. If I didnt have 4 vehicles already I totally would be interested.

Maybe im stupid, but I still havent noticed my name on the list? I am 100% confident I signed up (#486 M3 Don Fitzpatrick, request for Heat 1 morning runs). May have been my fault but I swore I even got the email back after I registered. Don, I see you in Heat 2 on the roster. If you wish and the a...

I might look into an optima AGM sealed battery so it doesnt give off hydrogen during normal operation. Mike, no plans to move your SR5's battery further back? So just to get this straight. You plan on buying an optima, that is as heavy or heavier than stock, and then getting a circuit breaker, 0 ga...

I'm driving my Miata too, with some new shoes. Okay wtf, everybodys got some new stuff on, im feeling left out ;) I actually am "making" this event. I got someone to cover my pace car and announcer duties int he morning at Summit so I can do some morning runs as the rest of the CDC events...

$12.99?!? I paid $13.00.; RipOff! Some friend!what a scam!! I really like the video of the rear wheel. You can actually see the car rotate. Nice driving Frank. Damn! He totally ripped me off too! :P Thanks Frank, I will definitely be using your mount to do some rear-wheel vidoe action next time im ...

The Suxass is down for the week. Brake parts on order won't show up until 2 days before the Devil's Duel. :shock: Lots of Morans will be standing around, looking for something to drive this Saturday. I enjoyed instructing at the last event. Hopefully with the extra organizer help we have for this e...

Hyperdrive is more about my cost level. But it sounds like you dont get an instructor,Plus I would need new tires. Nope, hyperdrives have instructors 100%, and you dont need much tire for a 25 minute session. Hell I did one session with axxis metalmasters on a 3200lb car once (I dont completely adv...

Very nice. Makes me wish I had the money to do an hpde. Do October NJMP with Trackdaze with me, its only $295 for the entire weekend on a new track. Otherwise join me at either NASA Mid-Atlantic events or in September at NCARR (new track as well :D ) with NASA Southeast. PS- Your autocross skills w...

We were going to produce a new design for this year, but instead, we donated all of the remaining 2009 stickers to the club/Ed Chan to distribute for free. If there is any interest for a new sticker design (there hasn't been much), we would gladly go ahead and run a new batch of them. I personally ...

Cheapcameramount, do you have a solution for a sony cybershot? I Wanna pair up[ my cybershot with my goprohd. I'm pretty sure a sony cybershot will be compatible with our 1/4" mount (standard camera mount). Bring it next time and we can test fit. Will do, its shoved in the glovebox already. :l...

Mike, I wish my times were as fast as your results posting! I can't take full credit. I could never get them out this fast without Joe Seward. He has built CDC's timing system from basically nothing, and it's really starting to come together now. Well thank you to both of you, its really a blessing...

Yeah :facepalm: describes my morning runs and every one of my runs until the last run. That was a hard course (good!). From running out of air int he morning and gas (got on grid and realized my gas light was on!!) Then realizing my Traction Control was on the first run of the afternoon. It was...in...

Thank god its going to cool down, it was 103 ambient at VIR this past weekend and track temps were recorded at 143 degrees
Immediate drenching in sweat was a given.

Actually its an internal mic to the gopro. I just used the "open" cover instead of the waterproof cover for this event. Cleaned up the sound a bit. I heard the gopro HD (what I have), was a huge sound quality increase over the others if anyone is looking at getting one. However I wish ther...

Here are videos of some of my runs including my fastest run. Again I forgot to record in 1080p. Wish freaking go-pro would come out with their wireless controller and wireless micrphone soon.

[quote="DriftSS Course flowed well, even though it may have been challenging to newbies because of the doubling and tripling up of cone usage. [/quote] :lol: I think its plenty difficult for experienced people as well, which IS a good thing. Im glad we didnt have many newbies cause for me, if I...

I loved the course and had a great day. Video from my new bumper level tow hook mount: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpkqyrGHY1s Video of my fastest run, over 0.5 seconds faster than my best clean run. It was going great until I came into the last Mike Moran super special gate too fast and couldn'...

Ed, nice spelling on gato"raid" in the email

NAAutocrosser, you can always see if you can codrive someone's car.

Hey guys, we're back to Winchester this weekend. So far registration is light so make sure you tell your friends. The lot had good reviews last time and this time we will be busting out a back pack blower to help sweep the lot of some of the gravel. Looks like competition is going to be tough, some...

Did it get any better in the afternoon? yo john, when i was shagging cones in the PM it was dry, but when we were up for our runs we got a 2 min shower which completely made it wet again. my fastest in the wet was a 47.5 in the morning. I was able to get a 45.7 in the PM but it was +1 :( the ftd wa...
