Capital Driving Club Discussion Forum

We're back in Waldorf, MD at Regency Furniture Blue Crabs Stadium on Saturday September 27th. Reservations is open now for members and their guests. Non-members can make a reservation starting on Friday September 19th.

We are NOT offering a second slot discount for this event (or any other events for the remainder of the season).

Hope to see you there!

Planning to bring down the BSP car...need to burn up some of the ethanol I have.

Two drivers looking for co-drive seats!

Sarah and I are looking to attend this event but still don't have a working car. Are there any out there who are willing to give either of us a seat in your car?

Thanks,
Jared

Not many good reasons to miss an AX, that's definitely one.
Good luck to your dog and you...

Hats off to Larry for a great course today, one of the most fun on that lot by any club's standards. I missed the first Waldorf event this year, but it is fantastic to do a CDC there, and nice to see some of the SCCA guys join in on the faster lot. Hopefully many more there to come!

Also for Mike: Griding seemed to work very well. I like the park and go instead of the hot lane

I agree. Awesome course today. It flowed and was definitely fast. Good job Larry and we'll run event -thanks to all our organizers

It seemed like the event went smoothly, and the weather was great! The course was fast and fun, and quite technical to handle at speed.

I may have overestimated the amount of traction I had a few times, and I apologize for the many cones that were murdered as a result. Here's my best run, followed by 5 of my worst runs in case you enjoy watching carnage. http://youtu.be/5kmfVzJ6C_c Frank edged me out for FTTT (Fastest Tic Tac Time, or fastest time in our car) by 0.005 sec, which comes out to about 3 inches. Thanks to Joe S for digging through the logs to look up the thousandths digit.

I originally called Jay's slower time the result of a height penalty (Jay's taller and therefore weigh more). But I realized last night as I was getting gas that it boils down to something a lot less. Jay drove first and had more gas (weight) in the tank. lol. Great battle Jay.

Agreed. The course was easily one of the best this site has seen, parking grid was very helpful so we could review our GoPro vids and check our tires, food was good, organizers were friendly. It made for a great day of autocross.

I really liked the course. Open and flowing.

The grid seemed to work great.

My lines look pretty similar to Jay's. It's also a good illustration of a near stock miata versus a nicely prepared example. http://youtu.be/jLqZO_dE-58
