Re: 2018 TIRE INDEX ADJUSTMENTS

I agree that this is getting too detailed, I can contribute that the Federal RSRR is at least on par with the RS4, and the RSR is part of the older generation. Spankin’ new RSRR will outperform aging RE71R, which we don’t account for either. I like the way it is, I think we all know what “autocross ...

Re: bump stop modification? (NC Miata/RX8)

Yep that's pretty spot on Matt, my only beef with sway bars is that your damping has to come from the regular dampers coaxial to the coil springs, so you have to compromise your damping in a straight line to gain more motion control in roll. Ideally you would use no swaybars and have supple soft spr...

Thanks for posting Results quickly Mike!

Not a bad inaugural CDC run for the Insight :-)

Double Reged with the Insight for real this time :-) Fred, you wont be the only one out there in a Hybrid!

if anyone has an extra set of 4x100 honda wheels with something sticky wrapped around them they'd want to loan out for the day for the cause that would be awesome :-)

Man I got the same raw time 3 times! in 2 different cars! Thanks to Laura's negative mass I found a half second on my final run ;-)

Lots of great drives out there everyone (Good ribs and sausages too!) Always a pleasure to run with CDC, still my favorite car club!

Re: Nest CDC Autox Saturday May 9th at Waldorf

So in the last month I have ticked off two of my Car Guy bucket list items. One was to drive the Tail of the Dragon. Which, while i was skeptical before, I can now say yes, it IS really that good. And the other was to drive my high school dream car, the FD RX-7. So I want to say a big thanks to Rock...

Re: Ideas for the 2015 Season

I actually like Harry grove a lot, Its especially good for honing your skills on medium and low speed corners and coping with mid-corner bumps. A test and tune at harry grove with adjustable suspension i think can teach you a lot. It's like the Monaco GP of autocross to me, tight and unforgiving. So...

I'd like to use these for just an event or two on my gen 1 insight, basically just as a joke more or less, I wouldn't be looking to break the bank over that, but if you're not getting any offers I'll low ball you at 100$ and take it from there :-P

It seems to me that just having the "SCCA class" option satisfies me for comparison's sake, I like the simplicity of the CDC system. That said in my first season in 2012 i made a mod that didn't effect my CDC index (rear diff update to newer version) that threw me right into SCCA street-pr...
