Well on my project cheap autocross, I recently added Panasport wheels, and short Hoosier A6 tires. I also changed the exhaust to a quiet RB Streetport exhaust.

I really did not realize how high I was spinning the motor up to until I watched this video... On some straights, I dumped the tach! Maybe I need to catch another gear in the future!!

lol, nice run man! And yes, 3rd gear is your friend. Looked like it was a fun course.



.

 

That course looked like alot of fun. I wish we had more room where we autox

 

I'm jealous of the size of that course. Looks like a lot of fun.

 

What is funny.... most people bitch about that venue being too small!!!! In fact a lot of the Texas CP cars will not even show up because of the "lack of space"

LOL.... I guess things really are bigger in Texas!

 

That's huge compared to the lot I would usually race on. I think the one we had was maybe 200 feet wide and 800 long. Maybe. Made for some super small courses.

 

man im jealous. ive finally got some things straight and moved houses to a place where i have a much bigger garage and concrete area to work on my car. where can i find an autocross schedule for our area so i can get started now that i have more time on my hands finally???

 

Cool... we might start autocross racing at Houston Raceway Park in Baytown next year. That should be pretty close for you.

 

that would be nice... where can i find a schedule for events happening right now? i wanna go check one out soon..... are u going to the houston rx club meet next tuesday at freebirds? im prolly gonna make it out there

 

Go here... they should have all the info! http://tinyurl.com/35q8z2o

I will prolly not be going, coming off a Holiday weekend, and I have to go to Canada on business for a week starting Wednesday.

 

haha for some reason i knew that animation was going to be posted next.........

 

Man, it would be so nice if I could run at a place like that. Looks like you had a blast. Keep rockin' man.

 

Man I wish you guys in other parts of the states and Canada had big places to autocross. In central Texas, I race at Texas A&M with their sports car club. The event is set up on an old air force base. The "actual" course is about 40 ACRES big!!!! The course can seem to go forever!!

Here is a link to a race their. This is back when I had old tires and a loud exhaust!!! Enjoy! Still about a 90 second course!!

HAHA rice rocket... that just the kinda smart *** I am!!

 

Well, ya see there are places that run large courses . But i'd have to drive at least two hours for it. The local events ( About 40 minutes out) Are run by really cool dudes that drive bad-*** cars. I've earned 7 trophies so far. Four first places, and three runner-ups. One of the events i've done was on an old Navel test run-way in PA. That place was huge and I actaully got a chance to use third gear. Can't wait I get my Fc together. I'd be the only rotary on the course in the local events.
