This one is for all those who complain about not having r comps in small bore. Here's a great introductory to r comps for autocross. Not the best wheel nor are these the best r comps. But it's hard to beat used r comps mounted and balanced on wheels, all for only $400. I used this set when I was sec...

wouldn't miss it. looking forward to seeing everyone!

dude, don't say that!!! it counts! a win is a win. i still cherish my ai magnet i won and beat absolutely nobody. i think i paxed in the last 20%. i was the only cs car there on that cold, wet day. but i won!!!

man, I went to 1 AI event and got a first place magnet... you guys must be doing it wrong ;) well, actually by my calculations (see a few posts earlier), that one magnet cost is your car, all the other autocross entry fees (to get you your driver skills to enter that one autox and win), all your mo...

I am known as the "magnet beggar" in 2007-8. I got people to give me their magnets that they don't want and constantly complain about not able to win a magnet. People were so annoyed by my tactics that Josh Luster (some of you know them) custom made me a first place magnet cone just to ke...

i'm thinking wider wheels is a cheaper alternative.

try asking for ideas on miata.net also.

i think that's a project for the next CAR tech day. i still think cdc should have a tech day. too many projects and not enough knowledge/confidence to work on it on my own.

i hurt my elbow at the very beginning of this year. before it completely healed, i came down with a 102.7 fever. as the fever broke, i developed a crazy cough. was diagnosed at pneumonia. 10 days after antibiotics, i went to another doctor seeing i wasn't getting any better. was prescribed another a...

ok, I think we need to make an alteration to the CDC indexes because everyone knows magnets/stickers = horsepower Seems to work for Frank... "One thing I know about racing colorful cars just go faster." - Tony Stewart, 2002 and 2005 NASCAR Winston and Nextel Cup Champion I attribute all m...

I live in Fairfax. It's 3+ hrs, one way. 6 hrs of driving round trip is too much in a car w/no heat, no radio, no comfort and a motor that likes to give me issues during inopportune moments. wus Just say the word and we will put your kart together. You have to get Justin's motor somehow though. Ed ...

is this bad: when other people drive down the highway, they see construction barriers. whereas i see long slalom. as we get longer and longer into the off season, the more i'm tempted.

Frank, you going to be fully recovered by then? Decent chance we can get your kart ready in time... have no clue. i'm at a starbucks right now. it's my brave venture to go outside. this is the 3rd time out of the house in 3 weeks. hopefully it's not too optimistic to say i should be fully recovered...

Not a CDC Event. I normally wouldn't post another club's event here. But figure most of us are anxious to autocross during the CDC off-season, it couldn't hurt to pass on the info. There's an autox on 2/21 sponsored by the Philly SCCA. I've been there once and thought it was OK. They had walk up reg...

there's no mention of summit. does that mean no summit for 2010? just curious. i personally didn't care too much for it. but thought it was good practice. and i liked watching the track during down times.

Looks good to me. I also agree that Small Bore should be kept the same. I think we debated the r comp too much in small bore considering that it was more of an attendance award. Since AJ, Edwin and quite a few others would probably have won it without r comps if they showed up more.

and frank, you didn't pick up everything else, someone else got the free V710's. His initials are AJ. hmm, the aj wouldn't be the same aj on this thread? http://sccaforums.com/forums/thread/394136.aspx good seeing you at the banquet. jacquelyn's honda is running great with your lighter alloy wheels...

thanks for taking earl. felt bad for picking up everything else and leaving that behind.

CDC allow carts? Not sure what the official stance is. If not, any chance this is up for discussion? If so, please let us know.

Personally, I had a blast this year. I think I did over 30 events with 3 clubs over the last 8 months. That's roughly one a weekend. In one case, I went to three autocrosses in two days. I met a lot of new people, got to play with cars, and hopefully became a better driver. I have mixed emotions ab...

don't worry . . .yet.

i just want to test fit them to see if they'll rub. not to run tomorrow's ax in them. if they don't rub, then i'll be looking to buy a set for next year.

since I won't be driving the accent at the last test and tune on sunday my 13x9s and 255f/225r a6 combo are up for use. the only thing I ask for is one heat of driving since i'm co-driving a lancer on sunday as well. So aj if you would like to see what your car would do in true fsp form this is you...

Keep the R comps in small bore. R comps is just one of many mods you can do in small bore. If you buy used, it could be one of the cheapest mods with the most benefit. I think a good suspension upgrade probably benefits in better times than r comps. So if we eliminate R comps from small bore, do we ...
