here's my best run vs Nicks best run... 42.8 vs 43.3 (i think?)

Pretty cool to put them up side by side. Thanks for posting that link.

yeah, now you're stuck with just watching my corolla do it... :) Our cars were just dancing to the autox beat :twisted: Interesting the wheels we picked up, the front wheel on a rwd car and rear wheel on a fwd car. I'd sure be interested in seeing a picture of a fwd car lifting a front wheel. ( I g...

As a spectator . . . I much prefer the grassy plateau at Frederick.

But I gotta say, the low level video shots at Woodbridge look much cooler.

Here's my best run for the day . . . 46.33

great pics milkmandan, thanks for all the on course pics of the accent and my creepy stare. haha. Ditto (on the pics . .. not the creepy stare) Those are really good pics. Thanks for sharing. On second thought - maybe I was working on a creepy stare: http://www.flickr.com/photos/indigodao/466047409...

My coworker's daughter came out on Saturday and took some pictures.... including ones of the squirrel on the course. Sorry you have to wade through the pics of me and my two friends to get to the squirrel pictures. . . . http://www.flickr.com/photos/46412542@N05/sets/72157624056803099/ Scott I didn...

Hey guys, I've got a weird little project I'm working on and I'm in need of vehicle data take from autocross runs at a various CDC events. Is anyone out there doing any data logging and would be willing to share the data with me? Data Points I'm interested in are: TPS (throttle position sensor) is t...

Yes, as always, I had a wonderful time, and want to express my gratitude to all the folks who make these events happen. I can't thank you all enough. I'm gonna give a special shout out to whomever was manning the microphone towards the latter part of the day on Saturday. As a driver, I appreciated y...

Had a great time yesterday . . . as always. Getting a ride in the Morgan was a real treat. Hope you guys got the exhaust back together for the afternoon runs. A couple of my videos from yesterday are also on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT_tIWpidEs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T1fy8pqw...

Argghhh. My hardtop is leaking at the rear window and I don't have time to fix it until next weekend. I believe that is one of the 1001 and one uses for duct tape is it not? On top of that, I can't take the hardtop off because of the race seat that isn't low enough. The seat being too low keeps you...

Waiting around for hours before you can run your first heat is also my biggest complaint. Why can't they keep registration and tech open in a small part of the course up until the beginning of the last or second to last morning heat? I think the important part of that question is "WHY" My...

Hopefully this isn't a topic that is already started somewhere that I'm missing. If it is - please feel free to smack me and move this post. What all would be required to run a second tech inspection later on in the day? More Volunteers? I would hope we could make that happen. If you need the truste...

Thanks for all the input from attendees. I think overall it was a pretty good event, except the fact that we had quite a few no-shows. However, we finally packed up around the normal time....so if those ~30 people showed up, how late would we have been there? -Ed O There were that many no-shows? Wo...

Out of curiosity - does anyone know accurate dimensions of Summit Point's Triple Skid Pad? It's a simple geometric pattern which would be easy to draw up to scale. Might be helpful for helping to plan course layout. If you need someone to do the CAD work - I'll be happy to oblige. If not - I'll try ...

No one is complaining about the course being confusing we were saying that we understand how the mistake happen and they went off course. But, yes a car coming straight at me and 5 other course workers is a problem My bad. I didn't understand what you were saying. Sorry about that. I never saw the ...

I think the problem was there were two left-pointing pointers after the left hander approaching the slalom. If you weren't looking ahead and got stuck in the left/right rhythm of the esses, that second pointer (to indicate where the slalom started) might've pushed you to the left. Didn't seem like ...

I didn't see if there was a separate listing for small bore series. When I searched, most of the comments seemed to be on this post / thread. I was trying to figure out if I was a candidate for the small bore series. I think that my car meets the spirit of the class, but might miss out on the displa...

Had a great time and as always - thanks to the organizers for all the work you do. (I should help more) I figured there'd be some learning curve on how to run things at this location as it is so different than the small lots that we normally use. I didn't mind 3 large heats. Although in the middle o...
