"I know one Cobra guy who doesn't hide from the rain and came in second at Cumberland. Bring on the rain:)"
Larry, that's nice, but I get embarassed when you talk about me. Bring on the rain! As long as a car gayer than my miata doesn't beat me I don't care.

[hepcatz]

I think I might have, did you check my link and/or the cdc pool? Also, Fred your post was too funny!

Anyone happen to get a picture of my car on course? It's a Silver 2008 Subaru STI.

[hufflepuff]

Bleh....should have gotten a top 10, but I sucked it up. Two things I noticed, MIke....First, the fella in the G35 was driving Dan's Miata when he ran the 45.xx. Second, the 2010 STI (Silver) in the top 10 has an index that doesn't make sense. Other than that....thanks for the quick posting of the results! Aron.....getting very close to those cobra guys...

Probably mean my STI, I have the 2010 Black STI. My car is bone stock minus sway bars, hence the 1.01 index.

It's a shame I didn't even run my last two runs, might have been up in the top 3 index times if it weren't for my brakes fading Think I will have to try bleeding them again.

Fading brakes? Or just air in lines? AutoX usually isnt hard on brakes in terms of heat build-up.

it was a lot of fun, that was one of the better courses at bowie, I don't usually like bowie much. I thought the mixing up the start and stop was a nice change. I'm also pleased with my 7th fastest raw time I'm sad I won't be able to make it out to the next auto-x at harry grove. I might be able to give the cobras a run for their money there

O.K. you guys are starting to piss me off, the corolla? I 'm going to ...never mind, Jen told me to be nice.

haha, I was mainly joking. I don't have to back it up because I won't be there haha. But you did only beat me by 2 seconds lol, and less than 1 indexed.

[bugman1964]

Fred you should only be worried if a capri beats you.

Thanks to dan and Ian for letting me bum co drives the cars were a lot of fun. See and I wasn't even a threat to you SB guys.

Larry had a great course with some elements I'm not sure CDC has used before, mainly the decreasing radius skid pad and the 180 up to the finish. Both of those were key elements. If you could figure out a fast line through those it either made or broke your time.

Now we have a week off till we go to HG, hopefully well get another good turnout to that event.

Well, this blind pig finally found an acorn Saturday. Thanks to all of our fellow competitors for their gracious good wishes.

I liked Larry's course a lot. The layout was simple and intuitive, but getting around it quick was challenging.

Here's the obligatory video. A bit tighter to the cones in the pad than Corolla's line:

So..........let 'er rip, Fast Freddie!!!

Fred, I wasn't referring to you old great one

Correction: I know two Cobra guys who don't hide from the rain and one who came in second at Cumberland in a hurricane. Bring on the rain:)

[D_Eclipse9916]

Awe geese who let Fred take index :p, I know you all missed the gaggle of m3s. And me changing tires in he middle of the staging lanes lol. Raw times looks like the cobra club was in full force. Sad I missed his event

[goldenfri]

I really enjoyed the course. Its probably my favorite ever at Bowie.

I am pretty sure its just air in the lines at least that's what I am hoping. But its only when they get hot. When on the street they feel pretty good, not brand new good, but they don't fade like they were after 2 runs auto-xing. Also the pads are Hawk HPS, so they should be able to handle auto-x just fine.

You can come and use my driveway if you need to bleed the brakes. Give me a call.

I agree, everyone should be worried if a Capri beats you

Mike G Kicked Butt. Nuff Said!
That being said... Here is a video of one of my runs--not the fastest-- I forgot to turn on the camera for that one.

I actually just bled them at my parents house yesterday. The front right had a lot of air bubbles so I hope that was it. Will find out at the next autox. Not sure what else it could be if it still has issues

[konkilr]

Take the car out and do a couple ABS stops. This will purge any air from the hydraulic unit and prove if they have been bled enough. If the pedal gets soft again then there was air trapped in the unit and the brakes must be bled again.
