Capital Driving Club Discussion Forum

I agree on the rain... my first track day this year was gingerman (first time at that track) in the wet, in a car I had never driven with brand new tires that needed to be scrubbed and as I am the shortest driver could barely see over the dash, not helped with pretty weak wipers. That was more stres...

I just signed up for Sunday only, waited too late to do both days in novice. I was waiting because I needed to replace my left front caliper and didn't want to end up not making it because I hadn't fixed the brakes yet, but they were installed Friday and tested at the AutoX yesterday! Never been on ...

$200 or trade for OEM 16" Mini wheels?

Hi Doug, Cool car 8-) My friends and I are currently trying to build a 87' Monte for some racing in LeMons/2012Challenge races (so by design nowhere really near yours in terms of condition or performance lol). I was wondering if you might have some insight into racing this car you wouldn't mind shar...

I don't know if the jcw suspension option changes the factory settings (only thing i can think of is that as you are lower with the jcw suspension you should see a bit more negative camber), but when i am done everything is 'red' with respect to the factory settings according to the computer otherwi...

I have decided 16" wheels are what I want to stick with, as such... I have 4 205/45R17 Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R tires for sale. Great AutoX, track, or summer tires. They have ~5mm or 6/32" depth left and no camber wear. I think everyone here knows them but just in case here is a review: ...

Great event, I enjoyed the transition to the 2nd 'loop' very much. But...I am pretty sure i left my blue camping chair there :( Anybody happen to grab it? It was close to the fence near the end of the slalom. I was too distracted trying to get to my bag of other stuff that was soaking and forgot al...

I am loving the crazy fancy spreadsheet and all the fancy functionality. :D One thing (probably because I joined the club at the first event and didn't get my number till just before the second event) under small bore I only have points from the second event even though I got 92 points on March 19th...

Looks to nice to be within my budget but can't hurt to check... What are you asking for it?

I am proud of squeaky breaks :lol: It means my car goes to enough events and fast enough to need fancy pads. If it really bugs you and doesn't go away, you can try adding anti-squeal to the face between the piston and the backing plate and the caliper mount and caliper itself. I have pictures somewh...

Thanks for the info. I am all registered and pending approval. As for a printing out a number barcode, I should see a "guest number" on the roster after approval and I will use that at the first event. Then I will get a permanent number after I fill out the membership form; if I read that ...

Hi everyone, I came to a couple autoXs back in 2009 and had a lot of fun, but unfortunately have been abroad since then. I am finally back and am very interested in becoming a member and attending as many events as I can, especially as unlike Summit Point FATT they are on the weekend! I just wanted ...
