hey guys..

mco just posted more auto-x dates they have one on september 11th, 18th and oct. 2nd

I probably will be going to the one this weekend if anyone wants to join, september 11th.

its 40$ to enter and 5$ for helmet rental if you dont have one... its at the corel center parking lot, if you plan on going you should be there around 8:30 am

 

Dammit - I would if I was there!

 

i'm definetly planning on making it out for this one.
Nick, any tips for first-timers? i know you did your first one not too long ago.

 

yeah tips would be appreciated

 

Perhaps me and ian can go since we'll be in ottawa anyway.

 

Stay out of the ditch.

 

heh, ouch.
does Frank write your material? j/k...

 

Even if i did it's still funny and good adive as far as your concerned anyways

Don't lose a brake line at the startin line? J/K

Sorry nick, i had to

 

walk the track alot... line up early and relax before your run... and look far ahead, so you know whats coming

 

Ill go along to spectate, someone gonna give me a ride? Civic is sold as of Thursday..... bonus being more money for the rx.... Anybody else just watching?

 

i'm debating if i should just watch for the first one, and enter in the second one. just so i get an idea of how it all works

 

well i've watched quite a few times, and unfortunately i think actually DOING it is the only way to really figure it out.

 

I don't think i'll be able to come to this since i probably work sunday, but i'll take either the 2nd or 3rd date off. Hopefully have the car ready by then. Take pics and video ppl.

 

you should definatly participate, not watch...

 

can't make it out to this one guys, a family thing has come up.

but yes, participating > watching

 

Agreed. It is an absolute blast!

Yeah, like Frank said, don't blow a brake line while at the starting line - that would be my number one tip! lol

Jay summed up the tips well. Other than that, all I can say is don't go out and try and set fast time right away. Do the course conservatively on the first run to get a base time. If you go off course or hit cones, you don't get a time so you don't know if you are improving throughout the day. Put air in your tires before you get there. Jason's hand pump almost killed me! Relax, it's fun!

 

lol... well since almost everyone cant do this weekend, i wont be going this weekend.

but i will be going oct 2nd... so if anybody wants to go that weekend i will be there.

 

where was everyone today, i think i was the only guy racing an Rx-7,lol. i had a lot of fun though, i think i'll be back next sunday

 

we decided we would go the the auto-x on oct. 2nd
