Don't forget your sunscreen and chapstick!

roneski

I signed up, anyone got a copy of AutoX for Dummies?

I don't have any suspension work at all. I think that even with my mods I'm still b stock, but if I'm wrong they'll correct me at tech I hope.

mbonanni1856

Glad to hear it! Everybody there is super nice, so you can ask them or me any questions that you have. I would just ask when you get to tech. Remember to show up early because they will not let you run if you get there late.

Nforce1

More than likely Ill show to spectate, with a slight possability of running.

Btw, You need a helmet to race huh??

mbonanni1856

Yes, you need one to ride along too. They have loaner helmets though.

When pre-registering, do you pay online or do you pay when you get there??

Im trying to pre-register, but Im waiting for my password to come in my email, and its not being sent?? I dont know why?

Late Apex

You pay on site the morning of the event and then you take the paperwork to tech.

mbonanni1856

Like Sam said, you pay in the morning. If you are having problems pre registering, go to SCCAForums.com and go to the Southern Pacific forum. Post your problem there and Art will add you to the list.

Aarif and Ty, don't forget to print out your first timers 1/2 off coupon from www.lvrscca.org

mbonanni1856

The Pre-Registration list has changed a little...

One Nissan 350Z (Aarif)

All of the S2000s dropped out of BSP (scared?)! So now it looks like BSP will be a battle of new Zs vs. old Zs. A little family fued if you will.

Nforce1

^^^ Thats funny!

Nforce1

Im soo tired! I really think Im done doing 1/4 miles. (Well maybe) ... I would love to do this more, but I dont know if I could afford new tires to do it! lol.... That was a lot of fun!

roneski

That was fun. I learned a lot, not the least of which is that I'm not as good of a driver as I thought.

I definitely still love running my quarter miles though.

mbonanni1856

I am glad to hear that you guys had fun. Here are some pics from Rowdy over at LVRacingScene.com. Thats an awesome one of Aarif up in smoke. Ty's doing a little drift action as well. I told you guys that you would like it.

Nforce1

^^ Hahaha, Thats Awesome!!

ensmuns

Aarif, I guess your tires' treads are about the same as mine after your autocross session today, eh?

mbonanni1856

Here is one of Rob that Rowdy took as well.

Nforce1

Haha, actually. they are still decent! hehe

mbonanni1856

Aarif and Ty, you guys both did really well for your first times out there. It gets more and more fun every time. I hope that next time we don't work while the others run again. I would like to ride along with you guys. Especially Aarif's wild rides lol. Ty, you spun it once too in the same spot didn't you?

rob209

After my 3rd run of the second session, I looked under the car and saw that my rear sway bar had lost the nut and was floating in space, useless. No wonder I couldn't fix my understeer with changing tire pressure. I think it flew out in the morning session, who knows for sure. I took off after I noticed it, didn't want Pep Boys to close before I got the bolt. Got it, took a quick spin and wanted to go back to demand some reruns. Oh well.
It was fun - Mother's Day coming up soon!

roneski

The Gtech is really pretty cool. Sorry that I forgot to give it to you before you ran the second session Rob.

Here are a couple of my runs and a Couple of Ray's. On Ray's The red line is what he ran in my car, the black is what he ran in his.

mbonanni1856

0.91 lateral Gs in a stock suspension G35 on street tires! Thats impressive. I would love to take a run with that thing in my Z with the Hoosiers.

roneski

I think that you'd probably pull more than 1.0g in yours.

rob209

Very cool.
