Atlanta region autox

[Kuruma]

So Dan(Chemwarrior) and I are determined autox'ers and at the last event a fair amount of you guys showed up and expressed interest in the sport. This thread will be a place for discussion on when and where, car set up, etc. I hope everyone gets to do this and really see what an Evo can do! Trust me you will be HOOKED!

POINTS 3 event this Sunday!! Turner Field green lot. I know Import Alliance is that same day, but would you want to park your car and look at it or drive it like it was intended!

Sign up link.
http://www.soloatlanta.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2880

I will be there!

Thanks Craig

[Chemwarrior]

Excellent point Craig. I also convinced another Genesis Coupe owner to join in the fun. He will be driving in Novice class since this is his first time. I would like to see some other evoatlanta members out there ripping it up though.

Have fun pushing your car to the limit in a controlled manner or walking around looking at Hondas? I think the choice is clear. :D

[Kuruma]

LOL yeah, I saw the other coupe signed up for novice. See you Sunday, I want to win SM so bad this time! I am doing another alignment this Saturday, dialing in toe.

[MeFryRice]

I have full intentions of participating in at a least a couple events this year. I would sign up for this Sunday's event but my brakes are not up to it unfortunately. Hopefully #4 for sure. :)

[blkonblk2red]

i'm kinda new at this lol... so how much is it per event.. i saw season passes are $275... i don't mind joining but i would love to come check out a session before doing the whole season...how do i sign up for the one coming up tuner field April 11th?... i've checked out the website and reg.. but haven't had time to read at school.. okay so i think i found the price... its 30? for members but what about non-members? or do i have have to be a member?

It's $40 per event for non-SCCA members. You can register on www.motorsportreg.com. I believe registration ends Saturday evening. You do not have to be a member to attend. Ensure you sign up as a Novice at first. Look forward to seeing you out there.

[Kuruma]

$40 for non-members and novice class. Follow the link in the second post. It will take you to soloatlanta.com's forum. Then follow there link to motorsportsreg.com(it will take you directly to there points3 event sign-up). From there read and scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will find a green bar labeled continue. Click that and open an account with motorsportsreg.com. Then using you account and a credit card you can sign-up and pay in advance. There is no showing up, paying, and running the event on Sunday. All payments and sign-up must be done before Saturday night, but Friday just to be safe. Be sure to take full advantage of the novice program for you will learn a ton! Hope to see everyone there! You can just show up Sunday and watch and possible hitch a ride if someone is willing, they have loaner helmets. Bring snacks, drinks, a hat, tire gauge, blue painters tape, and maybe chairs. Dan if I forgot anything chime in. Sorry for any typo's or grammer issues, this was typed at work on an iPhone, lol.

Craig

[Apex i ITR]

I would come check it out but I commited to import alliance. I'll catch the next one.

[blkonblk2red]

okay thanks! planing on being out there!!! also got a tsx and a rsx coming out :)

[Evolvedgti]

doesnt scaa have some noise ordinance rule? i.e. are test pipes and say my br bullet muffler allowed. its pretty loud.

[Chemwarrior]

Yes they do have a microphone out there to monitor the decibels. I forgot what the max is but if it is too high they will let you know. Craig thought his might be too loud but he put a donkey dick on his to direct the sound downward. :D

dan do you mind if i get a ride sunday? :)

[Chemwarrior]

Hell no.

[blkonblk2red]

goes and shoots himself in the corner :*( lol FINE!@

[Chemwarrior]

That was a hell no to I don't mind and you are cordially invited. :D

[Kuruma]

My buschur magnaflow with test pipe was 92.8 db at the first event. Sound max before a DNF is 93 db. At Tuner Field with a "donkey dick" turndown tip I was at 86db, but the measuring station was different so I really don't know how much the exhaust modification helped.

[blkonblk2red]

OO... not sure if i'll pass then...

be sure to let me know if you pass. by my research, my br w bullet muffler should be 94 @ idle and 104 at 4500rpm.

It's for numbering. You don't have to be there until 11 but it would benefit you to be there earlier so you can the other cars running and get an idea of the best way to attack the course.

[blkonblk2red]

^ will do i wish i had my old silencer i trashed it..

okay thanks dan! i was planning on coming early but.. my friends with the rsx and tsx wanted to show up at 1030 ish... so i'll prob be there around 9ish see if i can get a ride with u

[Sil'vr-boi6]

I'll be there, unfortunately not to run. But surely later this year.

[Chemwarrior]

I was going to upload some videos but they are all too big. My smallest one is 100mb. Does anybody know what site I can use to host these videos?

BTW it was good to see everybody there. It really turned out to be a large Evo meet. :D Now for all of you that didn't run today, you have two weeks to prepare for the next one. Let's get to it.

[Evolvedgti]

That shit was too fun. Craig, you are one driving mofo. really man, your a great driver. THANKS for the ride along.

[Kuruma]

Anytime Jon! Great to see all the Evo guys! A really good showing in the SM class! 1 second was the split between 1st and 5th! I managed a 47.8 second run and jumped from 4th to 2nd on my final run! Amazingly fun course!

Craig

[Chemwarrior]

Good job Craig. You beat my time by 1.2 seconds. Damn I miss autocrossing my Evo. :D I still think I could have dropped another second off my time if I had seen what other driver's were doing after the slalom. The Pros and the ST Civics would just lift off the gas and steer right as opposed to me hitting the brakes. I failed to realize just how fast it was.

[Chemwarrior]

Okay I was able to load up one video on Youtube. It took frickin forever though. I'll upload more tomorrow. Here you go for now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESSfI87dFik

[Chemwarrior]

I'll get the other ones loaded up this afternoon. I had four runs and I accidently left the camera on for a good five minutes after the run was over. I'm learning how to edit mp4 files so I don't try and upload a 1GB file to Youtube.

For those that are wondering I placed fourth out of 12 for STX class. The next autocross (25 April) I will be running in the afternoon so come on by and see the fun. It really does turn into a larger meet.

[blkonblk2red]

thanks dan! i had lots of fun... same with the tsx and rsx guys... prob be out there again! hopefully with better tires lol... riken raptors FTL but overall had fun went from a 106 to a 52... lol still need a lot of improvement

[Chemwarrior]

That's a great improvement Chintan and of course there is always room for bettering yourself. The main thing is that you had fun. Are you addicted yet? :D

lol yeah ready for another one... i'll prob end up doing the season pass... just wish we had more sessions...

[Kuruma]

Nice improvement! Instructors for the novice's help a lot! I will post up points 3 registration once it's opened. Hope to see everyone again!

Craig

[Chemwarrior]

I think you meant Points 4 Craig since we just had Points 3.

Here's the link showing the results. http://www.soloatlanta.com/?page_id=433

[Kuruma]

Yeah, points 4. That BMW beat me for second on his final run, oh well I still recieved a trophy for 3rd!

[Chemwarrior]

I've never stayed long enough for the results, do they actually hand out trophies? I know in my last region they did. There was less than a second difference between fourth and first in my class. If I had taken that right hand sweeper after the slalom quicker I bet I could have picked up a second.

[Chemwarrior]

Another video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CG3BYboxLoI

[Kuruma]

Yeah, I picked up a lot of time there on my final run!

[Psych]

I had a great time there. That bone stock, RR, RS was moving!

[Evolvedgti]

I REALLY want to run in two weeks, but it looks like too much is stacked against me. 1. Ext TOO loud, 2. Tires TOO wide. and Im sure i have other stuff which is not allowed.

[Chemwarrior]

There is more flexibility for people that run in Novice. I don't think they have to abide by the same restrictions because they don't acquire any points so enough excuses and bring your ass out. :D

[Kuruma]

POINTS 4 REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN

http://www.soloatlanta.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2933

The will also be a Novice school the Saturday before.

Hope to see everyone!

Craig

[Chemwarrior]

Just registered. For those that are going to attend the autocross on 25 April be aware there is no novice orientation due to the Novice school on Saturday, 24 April.

[Chemwarrior]

I just registered for the Novice School on 24 April. It's only $60 for SCCA members and $75 for non-members. You will get ALOT of seat time for this event. It beats the hell out of the amount of seat time you would get for a normal autocross. What's also great about the Novice School is that you will get an experienced autocrosser to ride along with you giving experienced input to help improve your driving ability.

Now I just have to wait for my coilovers to arrive next week. :(

[Kuruma]

I amsigned up for Sunday! Woot

[Evolvedgti]

Okay Dan and Craig need your help. I KNOW my exht is loud, may get a turn down. my tires are 255(too wide).

what i need your help with. What class would i run in after novice with my mods?

Fp red
ported ext manifold
ported im and tb
Cossie M2's
supertech valve springs and retainers
PTE 1000CC injectors
BR intake
BR u/l ic pipes W/ Race fmic
BR TBE w/ bullet and TP
O2 housing
BR catch can
Grimmspeed bcs
Omni power 3 bar
Single Walboro
APS twin vent
Shep transfer case
Bushwacker tranny w/ HD twin
Stock ecu

[Chemwarrior]

You would run in the same class as Craig, SM. Let me do some research just to make sure though.

[Chemwarrior]

Yup, you are SM after Novice.

[blkonblk2red]

You'll be okay on the exhaust planing on sign up for the event does the 75 include both days ? If not shouldn't I just get the season passs ? Not sure if I can get the sat off tho

[Chemwarrior]

Hey Chintan. The $75 for the Novice School is just for Saturday's event. I don't think it would be financially beneficial for you to sign up for SCCA unless you plan on attending more events.

[blkonblk2red]

I was planing on attending all of then lol :) they all seem to be on Sundays

[Kuruma]

Hey Jon. SM (street modified) is pretty much the unlimited class. I don't think there is any limit on tire size, I promise you are ok to run SM. I have seen dude run 265's and larger at nationals in SM. I believe someone on Evom is preping a car with a full set of 285's!!!! But for know run novice and I would highly recommend that anyone who has not autox'd take the Saturday novice class since there is no novice orentation Sunday. I hope to see everyone out! PS save the pink temporary SCCA sign up sheets when you sign in at the event. The are good for $15 off an SCCA membership, and you can us up to 2. So $30 off a membership!

Craig

[Evolvedgti]

Thanks you all.

that was what was confusing me. the "rules" state up 255, but then on evom like you said the "norm" is to run 285.

[Chemwarrior]

The 255 is for ST classes but since you have mods that put you into SM then you are pretty much unlimited.

[sacul33]

Ok, here is my question. I want to get my X out there this year. I can't go for the 24th Novice School, I can only go Sunday's due to work on Saturdays. When could I get out there next?

Lucas

[Kuruma]

Check the original post for dates and locations. We would love to see a ten out there!

Craig

[Chemwarrior]

So no comments on my attempt at video editing? :D

[sacul33]

Could I do novice on the 25th or a later date?

Lucas

[Chemwarrior]

Could I do novice on the 25th or a later date?

Lucas

Absolutely. You can do novice anytime there is an autocross. Novice is just a class that runs with everyone else during the autocross. There just happens to be a Novice School on the 24th along with a regular autocross event on the 25th. It's two different events. If you are interested in doing it on the 25th or any other day ensure you sign up on www.motorsportreg.com. Come on out and have some fun.

[Kuruma]

Novice is at every event. But this up coming event is special due to the novice school on Saturday. Which means no novice orentation on Sunday. If you have never autox'd before and don't fully understand what is a proper cone penalty. Because a miss called cone by you can cause someone a first place. So I highly suggest an event that will include a novice orentation unless you have autox'd before.

[sacul33]

I may signup for it. I have been to the Auto-X's for the past two years with my friend. He has taught me a lot on how they work. He used to have a WRX, then and STi, now he has a E30.

Lucas

[Kuruma]

Sounds good see you next Sunday.

Craig
#12 SM White Evo RS

[Kuruma]

Bump for next Sunday! I had a PCA autox today, 4th fastest among 40 porsche's. The 3 cars that beat me were 2 racecars on slicks and 1 Porsche driving experience instructor in a stock 997S with Michelin pilot sport cup tires. I was on skinny 235's street tires! So I feel I did good and I had alot of fun!

[Evolvedgti]

good job Craig!

[Kuruma]

POINTS 5 EVENT THIS SUNDAY!!!

I will be there and I hope to see all you guys there too. I will be at Drift Atlanta as well, so no excusses about being tired from Drift Atlanta, lol. If you see me Saturday at Road Atlanta say hi, White Evo IX RS with a black Evo VIII trunk and wing.

Hope to see everyone this weekend!

Craig

[Chemwarrior]

You better be there Craig. Don't puss out like you did last event.

[Kuruma]

DUDE! I was buying a house! LOL. Dan you better not get pissed at your work assignment this time! See you there buddy, I probably will be there around 11ish

[Chemwarrior]

Don't hand that Mickey Mouse bullshit excuse. We all know that driving takes precedence over EVERYTHING else!! I don't care if you have a surgery that same day. You better schedule it around your driving. :D

I'm working the morning waiver table again so I should be done working by 8:30. Then I can just concentrate on driving. See you there brother.

[Chemwarrior]

Here's my videos for today's autocross. It was a beautiful day for racing. Now on to the good stuff...
