Registration Form:

[TonyBolton]

Hope to see some familiar faces again!!!

[mojosvt]

Sweet!!!!!!

[ssrogers]

How long do we have to get 25 people?

I am a member of lots of forums and have a pretty good number of car friends. If it comes down to it, I can get the word out pretty far. I just don't want to jump the gun and not let all the SCMC members that want to run be able to run.

[TonyBolton]

Well, I certainly want this event to happen, so i've advertised it to the car forums that I frequent. I figure the ones that get involved early, are the ones that really want to go and commit!

[OvenMitts]

I really want to make it out to this last one. Maybe I'll actually show up, too

[ssrogers]

OvenMitts,
You live in Knoxville, no excuses. :D

[ssrogers]

Well, All you SCMC guy better not waste any time, I just made several announcements on 6 other forums. Also, I have been telling every car guy friend that I have.



So, If that doesn't get some people to show up I don't know what will.

[Jason]

Yes folks there is a Santa Claus!! :D In for 2. Form and check on the way.

[CathDoc]

There will be one last AX at 411 before it becomes a dirt track.
Registration on the way.

WTF happened? :mad:

[SVTMADMAN]

Check went out yes-ta-dee:bounce:

[SVTMADMAN]

Registration on the way.

WTF happened? :mad:
I think with the closing of a couple of local dirt tracks in the area the owner of 411 is attempting to take advantage of the lost/displaced drivers and crowds. (unfortunately for us)

Shawn

[mojo dad]

Rick,
Michael and I are in. My registration will be in the mail today. I won't be bringing my car. Plan on having fun in Michael's '96.
Mark

[Hazman]

List updated!

[LeadSSled]

I am so there! I'll be competing for the "most decibels" award again this time. ;)

[Jason]

Anyone know if the track owner would care if we left our car there overnight Saturday night? I plan on running with the PCA and it sure would cut down on the number of tire changes I'd have to do.

[Hazman]

I will check but remember there will be no security unless we can arrange for some. Anyone know what it would cost for a rent-a-cop for the night? Or we could just have the state trooper Impala cruise around!!:rolleyes:

[SVTMADMAN]

My buddy works for KPD and he does that on the side i'll find out.:thumbsup:

Terry told me that stood for Stock Sucks. :D

Check was mailed today, looking forward to running with you all again.

[svtsilverback]

hey everyone just found this post on svtperformance.com. is there any spots left and do you care if it is a lightning? thanks looks like a cool course.

[ssrogers]

hey everyone just found this post on svtperformance.com. is there any spots left and do you care if it is a lightning? thanks looks like a cool course.
Yeah, that was my post. Glad you made it over here.

As far as it being a lightning, did you notice what else is registered? A lightning is fine.

And yeah, It's every bit as cool as it looks.

[TonyBolton]

We've had a boosted up Lightning run with us before, and did surprisingly well!!!

[Hazman]

Hey all you SCMC Members. This is your last chance to run 411 AX. THis is your last week to get a guaranteed spot after that it is first come first served and they are coming in fast!!!:eek: :thumbsup:

[Bill Howell]

We may just get extra track time now........hehe
It is going to happen guys, I know a guy...:thumbsup:

[SVTMADMAN]

**Security question answered** I talked with my buddy that works for KPD and he said it would cost $20hr I dont know if that would be something anyones intersted in or not? Let me know....

[svtsilverback]

thanks guys. i have hotchkis leaf springs,shocks,ruslow 1200lb coil springs, i hope to have hotchkis sway bars before the event, and i have alot of engine mods. should be a lot of fun.

[ssrogers]

i have alot of engine mods.
What kinda numbers are you putting down?

Probably at least 500hp/550tq, right.

[LeadSSled]

Anyone know if the track owner would care if we left our car there overnight Saturday night? I plan on running with the PCA and it sure would cut down on the number of tire changes I'd have to do.
Why don't you just leave the R-comps on the car to drive back and forth to the hotel from the track? It can't be that far. That would avoid 2 tire swaps.

[Jason]

Anyone have any hotel recommendations?

[Bill Howell]

Sevierville or Pigeon Forge, rooms are cheap here this time of year. Also, I have 5 acres here in Pigeon Forge if someone wants to park here for the night. My junk seems to do fine here.
Parking free too.:D

[svtsilverback]

no i wish i was making 500hp. the last dyno had be at 401 rwhp/518 rwtq. i have had my eaton poted, basani cats and cat back installed / and new tunes done since then. so who knows until i get it on another dyno. i would guess somewhere between 415-430 rwhp and not much tq if any over the last time.

[Cobraboy]

humm TQ......

[ssrogers]

Sounds to me like my guess of 550tq might actually be a little low, with 518rwtq that would be about 600 crank. And the hp numbers that you are guessing would put you a lot closer to 500hp than you might think. 430rwhp would be somewhere around 500 crank.

[CathDoc]

I CANT GO! :eek: :mad: :edmond: :edmond: :edmond: :banghead:

I CANT GO! :eek: :mad: :edmond: :edmond: :edmond: :banghead::lol: :lol:

[Jason]

Anyone still have that .pdf track map?

[ssrogers]

Somebody help me with a few questions from my post on LS1Tech.

What type of helmet is required?

Are passengers allowed to ride?

How many times can you run each day?


I told him passengers are ok and you'd get at least 8 runs a day, but I didn't know what to say about the helmets. Last time I ran a motocross helmet and it seemed to be ok. So, I said that any motorsports helmet would probably be ok. Thanks, Steven

Passengers are allowed, but must be helmeted as well. There are usually a few loaner helmets available.
I believe we usually get 8ish runs a day. Depends on light, weather, and driver fatigue.

[ssrogers]

Had a guy on SVTperformance ask "i dont guess there is anything against just going to watch is there?"

I told him that was fine and I don't think there is a charge but that I'd ask anyway.

So, There's not a spectator fee is there?

[ssrogers]

Surly we have more than 14 people now. I'd sure like to see that we got our 25 at least.

[TonyBolton]

15 countin' me, now. ;)

[LeadSSled]

Surly we have more than 14 people now. I'd sure like to see that we got our 25 at least.We have enough. A very generous "real car guy" told Rick that he would cover any difference if there were not enough entrants so that nobody had to worry about being short for funding. I won't mention any names (Bill Howell), but he's a really nice guy with a couple of sweet Pro-Touring machines. Many thanks to this fine gentleman (Bill Howell)!

[ssrogers]

Yeah, I have known for a while about Bill backing the autocross, but I would still like for us to have a lot of cars there, plus that'll save Bill a little money.

[01badz28]

15 countin' me, now. ;)16, my registration was faster than yours! Well, that'll be the only thing. :(

[TonyBolton]

Who all is going to be running SATURDAY with the PCA ?

[ssrogers]

Me (Steven), Heath, and Jeremy are running Saturday and Sunday.

[01badz28]

I'm planning on doing the double header.

[Jason]

Who all is going to be running SATURDAY with the PCA ?Memememe. And Katie. :bounce:

[ssrogers]

Good photo-like map for those that need it. The street number is wrong because it puts the star in the right place. You should be able to see the track when you click on aerial image.

Sweet. Sounds like alota car thrashin' goin' on that weekend! :bounce:

[mojosvt]

I also plan on running on sat as well. My father will also be taggin along and driving the new mystic both days!

[Tyler H]

I'll be back this year...now with even less horsepower and torque. :thumbsup:

[TheSandman]

[cobrabitn]

Vernon,

Please bring your 2005 Ford GT to CMP and I'll drive it for you! :) The 411 is a blast and you'll have fun when you go to it but it ain't no road course. About 8 minutes of track time vs 4 hours at 100 plus mph....no brainer! :D

TonyIt is a Mustang GT '05. Cold air intake, flow masters, & a Dyno Dan tune.
286 rwhp. Fun to drive.

[TonyBolton]

...but it ain't no road course. About 8 minutes of track time vs 4 hours at 100 plus mph....no brainer! :D

Tony You left out the part of this event only costs 35$, vs. the 250-300$ for your 4hrs. ;)

[cobrabitn]

I understand Tony about having a limited budget....I have one too. :)

However, if someone did one day at CMP then they'd drop $150.00 for the day and get two hours of open track. But you should know, like me....if you want to play, you have to pay. Renting the 411 is a few hundred dollars. Renting a road course can easily exceed $15,000.00 dollars on any given track. ;) Still the best bang for the buck. Either one you do will be a blast! :thumbsup:

[LeadSSled]

Who all is going to be running SATURDAY with the PCA ?
I'll be there both days with the mild-mannered taxi cab.

[tones688]

Another Ohioan (like Hawaiian only frickin colder!) checking in. My '97 and I will be there both days (sent email to Vic @ PCA). Registration and check in the mail today :thumbsup:

[ssrogers]

I'll be competing for the "most decibels" award again this time. It'll be you against the Chevelle. I know you have cut-outs after your headers, but I also know how loud Heath's Chevelle is.


I'm just hoping not to get the "least decibels" award. I still have stock exhaust on my Corvette and my friends kinda make fun of me for how quiet it is. They tell me it still sounds good, just quiet.

[LeadSSled]

It'll be you against the Chevelle. I know you have cut-outs after your headers, but I also know how loud Heath's Chevelle is.It Should be a good contest. The SSLED has a new noisemaker in front of those headers since it was at 411 last time. ;)

I'm just hoping not to get the "least decibels" award. I still have stock exhaust on my Corvette and my friends kinda make fun of me for how quiet it is. They tell me it still sounds good, just quiet.We'll have to hook you up with some headers and Loudmouths. :thumbsup:

[mojosvt]

I have only put 100+ miles on my new cobra, and I already miss my loudmouths. These magnaflows are just too tame for my ears!:D

I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR THE NEW SSLEAD IN PERSON, THESE YOUTUBE CLIPS ARE JUST KILLING ME!:bounce:





PS. yes rick, I am still REALLY excited about coming!!!!!!!

[TonyBolton]

Wow. Talk about ALL BARK and NO BITE! :baby::D;):p

[ssrogers]

We'll have to hook you up with some headers and Loudmouths. That's Ok. I'm not too worried about it. If I was, I'd already have some long tube headers and Corsa.

[LeadSSled]

We'll have to hook you up with some headers and Loudmouths. :thumbsup:
If he wants to try a Loudmouth, maybe Tony Bolton will ride with him at 411. :D

[TonyBolton]

Terry, you're just jealous of my car and it's supreme power!

[LeadSSled]

Yeah, that's probably it. :rolleyes:

[ssrogers]

So, Do I just get Tony to ride along and yell engine sounds out the window. If he sounds good enough will that give me more power and make me faster? I hear good things about Loudmouths, but have never tryed one.

[LeadSSled]

If he sounds good enough will that give me more power and make me faster?
I think you will probably need to put some AEM and NOPI stickers on your car if you want to be faster. ;)

[ssrogers]

I'm not sure I'm ready for the power of a NOPI sticker.

[HPT BANDIT]

Never underestimate the power of the NOPI sticker :D


I'm sending my registration off today.

Who do we email / contact / pay if we want to run Saturday? Porsche Club?

[TonyBolton]

Who do we email / contact / pay if we want to run Saturday? Porsche Club? Yes, the Porsche Club. www.pca.org/smt It's not MANDITORY, but it does kinda give them an idea of how to plan their day.

Edit: You beat me to it Tony.

[coreseller]

Thanks Guys. Email sent.

[Humbucker]

I've never raced in an autocross, but I'd love to get in on this one. Is there anything in particular I should know other than how to race? :) How strict will the tech inspection be, and are there some things I should be prepared to bring (such as fire extinguisher, helmet, etc)?

Thanks!

[ssrogers]

I've never raced in an autocross Really? You're going to Love it.


I'm not an inspector but I believe it's mostly have your battery secure, no loose objects inside the car, I think they kinda generally look over it to see if it's in good enough shape to be trown around on a track and it looks like yours is, and I think they check for seat belts. Helmets are requried and there will most likly be some extras there, but if you have your own, bring it. Fire extinguisher is not required, but if you think you car is going to catch on fire then you can bring one but it'd have to be secured to be in the car.

I really hope the car your talking about bring is that Awesome looking cobra.

[Jason]

I don't have a fire extinguisher mounted in the car, yet, but I do bring one to have handy in the pits ever since I distincly smelled grass burning after a little off track excursion. :eek:

[Humbucker]

I really hope the car your talking about bring is that Awesome looking cobra.
I am indeed. :thumbsup: I've been trying to get it to an autocross or a track days event for a couple years. I figured I start with auto-x before hitting the road courses. Hope to see everyone there!

Having never raced, I'm sure I'll come in last, but I can probably compete in the loudness category if there is such a thing. :D

[ssrogers]

Having never raced, I'm sure I'll come in last, but I can probably compete in the loudness category if there is such a thing. :D
I doubt you'll come in last. I didn't the first time I autocrossed.

And I'm pretty sure you'll at least be in the top few in loudness.

[Hazman]

List updated!:thumbsup: :bounce:

Rick - I am pretty sure that Shawn Drake will be driving Kelly's Impala.Shawn's was stolen over the Christmas holiday and he has not replaced it yet.

[Humbucker]

Woo hoo!! I just dropped my registration in the mail. Unless it comes a downpour that day, I'll be there. :D

[LeadSSled]

[queenb]

Hey....I thought I heard that someone had made arrangements for dry and unseasonably warm weather for this event!! :cool:

[LeadSSled]

The way it works is, if you PLAN to run in the cold rain, it will be sunny and dry. :thumbsup:

I'll bring my wellies then. :)

I know that it is a long shot, but after shoveling snow for the last 2 weeks straight, I deserve some nice weather, heck my car is going to look white with all the salt. I will have to give her a bath once I enter the southern states! But like Terry said, I will be bringing rain tires along for the ride. There is no way I am coming all that way and then not running. I will also be bringing my snow chains, you know, just just to ward off evil spirits!

[OvenMitts]

Dude that sucks, sorry to hear that.

[87 Ragtop]

:hello: Newbie here. May as well make my first post here. The check for $45 went out in the mail yesterday. Jason has been trying to talk me into doing this for the past year or so. Just sucks I waited till the last one to make it. :(

I'm undecided what I'll be taking. I've got a 87 Corvette Convertible, 91 Trans Am Convertible, and a 99 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP. Right now it looks like the GTP will be making the trip south. The other 2 have a few issues that need taken care of before I play in them. The TA may be a possibility, although it is the slowest of the 3 cars I own. http://home.insight.rr.com/blue92/smilies/lol.gif

Congrats on the participation, dude! I think you'll have fun at this place no matter what you're in. My car is one of the lower HP cars there, but you just hafta make sure you use ALL of what ya' got! ;)

87 Ragtop....

My name is Mike Monjot, I live in Columbus. I will be heading south with my car on friday, along with 3 other buckeye cobra members. Would love for ya to head south with us, and add to the fun. If you have any questions, just shoot me an e-mail, or give me a call 614 205 2649. We plan on doing quite a bit of stuff this year witht the club (autocrosses, open track, cruise-ins, car shows).

The Grand Prix is the only one that hasn't been autocrossed, so it's tempting to take that one just because of that fact :D

[ssrogers]

Well, doesn't it just figure?

My Corvette is in the shop right now with a "Column Lock" problem. And I'm just praying that I'll have it back by Friday. Yeah, I'm mad.:mad:
Don't take me off the list though. I WILL be there and I'll run something. I just obviously want it to be my Corvette.

Not quite sure yet, depends on when the other guys get off work as well. I will know more later in the week, just keep in touch!

[ssrogers]

My Corvette is in the shop right now with a "Column Lock" problem.
Well, good news. I'm supposed to pick up the car wednesday morning.

It's actually ready right now, just that wendesday is the first chance I'll have to take this Impala back and pick up my car. I'm 150 miles away from home right now. I would explain what happen, but it's nothing interesting.

[Bill Howell]

I am headed to Indy for a car show with the goat Wednesday but will be headed home Saturday and will see everyone at the track Sunday. I have a couple buds bringing the malibu to the track just in case I don't get there in time, however everyone do me a favor and keep that Bolton guy away from it.....hehe

Just kidding, Tony can drive my junk anytime.:thumbsup:
See yall Sunday.

[TonyBolton]

Hey man, i'll drive pretty much anything RWD when the keys are tossed my way!

[Jason]

Sounds like everyone is scambling. :burnout:

[queenb]

Scrambling sounds about right. I'm still awaiting the phone call to tell me to zoom to Nashville to pick up the MINI. Five week air bag light repair??:mad:
The Lotus wants tires and I don't have the fundage for a couple more weeks. :(

[CaddyDaddy]

Just about let it slip my mind. Check went out today. Will be there Sunday in either the Cadillac or wife's T-Bird, or maybe a surprise entry. Looking forward to the most fun I ever had with my clothes on.

[Hazman]

I know that it is a long shot, but after shoveling snow for the last 2 weeks straight, I deserve some nice weather, heck my car is going to look white with all the salt. I will have to give her a bath once I enter the southern states! But like Terry said, I will be bringing rain tires along for the ride. There is no way I am coming all that way and then not running. I will also be bringing my snow chains, you know, just just to ward off evil spirits!<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD style="BORDER-RIGHT: #e3e1c7 0px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: #e3e1c7 0px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: #e3e1c7 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 20px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #e3e1c7 1px solid" vAlign=top align=left width=150 background=http://image.weather.com/web/common/backgrounds/graph_background_10day.jpg height=67>

HMMM Wed - Friday in the 60s and then wham snow on Sat. What or who is bringing this ____ down from the NORTH this weekend!!!:eek: :scratch: :what: :nope: :D

[mojosvt]

I see, you are going to try and pin the entire eastern United States crappy weather on a few northern mustang guys:doubt: ! Fine be that way......I see it as a total advantage to us drivers who have years and years of experience in driving in the s@*w:thumbsup:

Every single time Steve visits TN, it turns cold. :mad:

[HPT BANDIT]

I've been sick since monday with no signs of letting up and the doctor told me today that I need to have surgery on my shoulder. Nice.

[ssrogers]

Well, I went home to pick up my corvette and they hadn't fixed it. They thought it was fixed but it wasn't. They didn't actually change anything the first time. So, I have to go back Thursday and get it Friday morning.

[87 Ragtop]

Every single time Steve visits TN, it turns cold. :mad:
There is truth to this... although .. 51* Is damn warm to me considering the ice and snow we've had here in Ohio the past few weeks.... http://home.insight.rr.com/blue92/smilies/leaving.gif :D

[mojosvt]

AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!:cool:

[Hazman]

OK new forecast is rain / snow showers for Saturday morning then 27 overnight. I figure if we get all the yankee cars out on the track late Saturday and rinse them off we should have enough salt to keep from having any ice on the track Sunday morning!:D :rotf: :naughty:

[TheSandman]

Anyone have directions to the 411 Motorcross? Street address would help. Could put it in my GPS. Thanks

[Hazman]

632 Maryville Highway, Seymour TN.

[LeadSSled]

There are directions posted on the 411 Dragway website which is on the same piece of property:
www.411dragway.com (http://www.411dragway.com/)

Only a couple of more days! To get everyone in the mood, I thought that I would post this video that CathDoc made for me back in 2005. Enjoy!

I hope you all have a fun safe weekend. I wish I could be joining in on the fun but my car isn't back together yet. I will see you all at VIR though.

Chris

[ssrogers]

Alright I finally have my car back. One day before the first autocross. Man, talk about stress. This was really stressin' me out.

[TonyBolton]

Hope those that are attending tomorrow maybe bring some form of wind breaker!!!!

Temperatures were nice I thought(for the Porsche Event today), but MAN.............that wind was BRUTAL!!

[LeadSSled]

That wind was brutal today, but the SSLED loves cold air. I'll be running with the exhaust uncorked tomorrow. Bring your earplugs!

[LeadSSled]

Many thanks to the SCMC folks for hosting this event today. This 411 autocross deal is going to be sorely missed. :( Thanks again for the many years of fun at this place.

[87 Ragtop]

I had a great time today. Already back in Ohio though. :(

I wish I had listened to Jason and gone before today. I was very happy with my 73.434 and wish I could have another opportunity to improve upon it.

Thanks to everyone who put this together.!!

[vortex03]

I enjoyed it as well even thought I was watching. It was my first time at the 411. I did talk to this one guy driving a late model (maybe 03) white gt, complimenting him about his exhaust setup, his name might have been Tony, I'm not for sure. The impalas were awesome sliding around and that one black vette could wake up the dead. Leadssled what happened to your car after that last run when you dnf, it sounded like your car just stalled out. I also took a pic of that 07 shelby.

[87 Ragtop]

Here is a link to the pictures I took today....

[LeadSSled]

Leadssled what happened to your car after that last run when you dnf, it sounded like your car just stalled out. Yeah, it sputtered and died in the turn. It refired and drove fine after I pulled off of the track. I'm 90% sure that it was just a fuel pickup problem. I should have topped the tank off before running yesterday, but didn't. I would have never caught that 2nd place car anyway - he was a full 1.5 seconds ahead of me. But I thought that was probably a 62-second run before it died. Oh well... I had a blast anyway.

[TonyBolton]

Thanks to everyone that attended! It was good to see some familiar faces and or course some new ones. Hope everyone that traveled a distance made it home safe and sound with the weather we were experiencing here of late. There were some people out there driving at 10/10ths Sunday, thats for sure!!! :eek:

[mojosvt]

Well, I am already at work!:bounce: I had a blast running all weekend, the car drove great, and no serious issues, who needs fender liners anyways. Thanks again to everybody for letting us buckeyes run with ya down south. The 411 was my first autocross, and I am sad to see it go. I seem to have more and more fun everytime I run there. Take it easy everyone, hopefully our paths will cross in the near future!

Quoted for truth :thumbsup:

We also had a blast this weekend - I'm gonna miss these jaunts down south. Take care all and we'll catch you soon I hope!

[fasst94impala]

Thanks to the Mustang guys for letting the full figured taxi fleet play. It was a truely great send off for the 411 Raceway. I will surely miss the trips to TN to run it. Hope to see y'all around the other racetracks.

[mojo dad]

I guess I was the last one home. I arrived at 1:15a.m., and used my earlier driving experience to avoid a whole bunch of bambi's. Everything went well and both Michael and I had a great time recapping the past two days during our drive north. Thanks to Rick and all others involved in managing this event over the years. It's been great fun and look forward to crossing paths with each of you in the future.

[TheSandman]

Thanks to you and Mike for all your help and teaching. My son-n-law both enjoyed ourselves:bounce: . Hate this was the last time since it was our first. Hope to cross paths in the future.:thumbsup:

I love to see people USING their performance cars, instead of buying car dusters for them! It was great seein' you out there makin' sure that thing had a blower on it. ;)

[01badz28]

:thumbsup: Thanks for a great event and letting some pesky Chevys run with you all. Its nice to get to run some high speed runs in, as opposed to usual SCCA parking lot stuff. I hope that new 'pavement possibility' that Rick talked about at the driver's meeting yesterday.

[LeadSSled]

I am so there! I'll be competing for the "most decibels" award again this time.
It'll be you against the Chevelle. I know you have cut-outs after your headers, but I also know how loud Heath's Chevelle is.

So, did I win this contest? :D

[01badz28]

So, did I win this contest? :DWhat did you say? My ears are still ringing!

[TonyBolton]

I think the guy in the FRC 99 Vette had the LOUDEST exhaust.........ouch.

Hmmm, thought I had a 61.11X run? Oh well. :( Can't hold the Willocks down I guess. :o

Tony, if you go back to the post on page 10 by ragtop, he posted a few of the pictures that he took over the day. And if you look at the board, you did run a 61.112. we will have to have rick be the final judge, but it really looks like a 61.112 to me.

I'll stick with Ricks (Time keeper) scorecard in his hands...to many chances of losing "times" in translation, you know background noises, people, cars, (Terry's most noteable)....


Goodtimes none the less except pulling my hair out after my car crapping out on me.:mad: Made the day more intersting for sure.
Id like to seen Tony's face when he heard the Vett was down... Tony=:bounce:

[tones688]

Rick made the comment at the track on Sunday that he'd looked around for a replacement track but it was tough to find one with the cross in the middle to accomodate autocross. I took a quick search of what's available in Ohio and low and behold came across this. No idea if it's available, but the infield looks like it'd be a hoot a autocross on. I present to you:

I'll stick with Ricks (Time keeper) scorecard in his hands...to many chances of losing "times" in translation, you know background noises, people, cars, (Terry's most noteable).... Yea, thats probably what happened. I know FOR A FACT that my first recorded run of 60.XXX plus whatever cones was wrong. When I did timing, I saw Ricks sheet and it said my run was a 64.XXX. I knew I didn't run a 60-flat on my first lap in the cold with cold tires.


Id like to seen Tony's face when he heard the Vett was down... Tony=:bounce:Not really. I was hoping to use you/your car as a measuring stick. I know you and I both drive 10/10ths out there so it eliminates the driver factor and leaves it up to the cars. I was hoping to gauge how many tenths I picked up on you(if any)with my new stuff on the car.

[LeadSSled]

(Terry's most noteable)....
Hey - don't blame me. I was working the course when Tony ran. My noisemaker was parked. :D

I'm sure it was just a transcription error. At least one of you is being a good sport about it.

Rick, you may or may not know about this one, but the Knoxville PD is using some of its homeland security $$$ to build a training lot for its officers. I don't think it is built yet, but ETRSCCA has been trying to secure this lot for autox. Maybe worth a shot?

[ssrogers]

So, did I win this contest? :D
Yeah, You were for sure louder than Heath's Chevelle. But, Still think it was pretty close between you and that black C5 Corvette.

:thumbsup:I hope your not implying that im the one being a bad sport:rolleyes: , i dont think anyone of us is lashing out in any way....(maybe alittle ribbing:D ) i think it was great competion between the 2 of us, it really could have went either way IMO.

TOny was driving the hell out his car an i have nothing but the most respect for him.

I think we are both having FUN with this i could care less, im just happy that i didnt tear up the car and turned in a respectable time, the one out of all of this thats E lated(sp?) is Kase and how well his car performed. :bounce:

Tony what was the improvement over the last time you ran? i mean its the same track the only difference should be the car right? Wheres last years times and how far ahead are you? Your car looked like it was handling alot better i thought and according to what you were saying on saturday.... it was.

Well, now that I see it's a 61.7XX, it's not my best out there which I THINK it was a 61.39X from last outting. I know for a fact the car felt about 10x better, but I was also giving up some tenths in two spots on the course. I also think I had that 61.3XX run on some fairly new if not brand new tires. These have about 7 or so months of use on them.

ANother noteable was that the car could repeat itself. I didn't feel like I was going out there and just getting a "hero run" and not being able to back it up.

We've got a lil Adesa parking lot autocross comin' up so we'll see how it fairs on the lower speed stuff. I'm hoping at LEAST 1/2 second on a 40-ish second course.

I was just kidding around. You didn't read it closely enough I said "At least one of you is being a good sport." It was an intended play on words - "Two" of you still fits that description. ;) Only someone that was feeling guilty would interpret it the way you did. You're awfully sensitive for a cheater. (BTW - I'm still kidding :D ).

It's all good. It was an understandable transcription error. Both of you performed well enough to take the title; it could have gone either way. And I didn't have enough for either of you. I'm better at stirring the pot than I am at winning. And that was a hell of a run in a stock C5. :hail:

[RX7TT]

Thanks SCMC for a good time.:thumbsup: I just wish I had found out about your events sooner, I would have liked to get another shot at that track. Got a 62.xxx somethng +1 on my last run, I finally started to get into the groove. I figured I would have at least placed somewhere near the top in the loudest car contest with the screaming rotary. I wouldn't be surprised if the starter didn't have some hearing loss on Monday,lol Those guys in the lead sleds were amazing, I can't believe how they handled those big cars! Anyway everyone there were very nice to this out of town ricer. I will watch this forum and try and join you guys at some event in the future.:)

Thanks SCMC for a good time.:thumbsup: I just wish I had found out about your events sooner, I would have liked to get another shot at that track. Got a 62.xxx somethng +1 on my last run, I finally started to get into the groove.....Those guys in the lead sleds were amazing, I can't believe how they handled those big cars! Anyway everyone there were very nice to this out of town ricer. I will watch this forum and try and join you guys at some event in the future.:)
