Thumbs up Autocross June 12th @ Camarillo Airport

I think I'll bring the REPU out there. Now that I got the camber and toe set correctly, it doesn't understeer anymores. The CORSA club is rotor friendly and they still have spots open.

Welcome!
There is still space available, checks hold spot by postmark.
Just mail check and I will send the registration forms.
One small correction in data:
All participants must be a member of a Corsa chapter and we are offering special $10 membership fee to our autocross guys (our regular fee is $20).
In addition, anyone belonging to Corsa - the national organization - gets a $5.00 discount off entry fee.
Our membership fee is good for one full year - 12 months. We will have at least one more ax this calendar year, Sept. 11 at Camarillo, and are looking at dates for another before Jan. 1. If we have an event before next June it will be covered by your membership.
So get the check in the mail and go VROOOM!

Advance entry is $40 if it is postmarked by June 8 ($30 + a $10 one year membership in the CORSA club. The membership fee is apparently required by their insurance. This club has 2-4 auto-x's a year at Camarillo so you only have to pay the $10 membership fee once). On site registration, if available, will be $40 + the $10 membership fee.

There is a student and military discount of $10 and a $5 discount if you are already a CORSA club member. They said just to show your student or military ID at the event if you use the discount when you mail in your fee.

Make checks payable to:
Ventura County Corvairs, POB 6012, Ventura CA 93006-6012

The event is limited to the first 60 drivers registered, so I wouldn't wait for on site registration.

Questions may be directed to Jack Pinard (805) 340-6533 or you can email him at jackpinard@cs.com

I'm going to go and run my trans am. I'll bring my brother also in his new GTO. I'll email him right now.

Fuchichi should bust out his S2K there.

Are you gonna have to throw it in reverse to make it around some of the turns in that beast of a car you have?

Well, end results were I got to run 8 times. 4 were timed.

First run was 1 min 12.65 seconds as Trans Am drifting doesn't work too well. A good way to warm up my tires.

Second run I have no idea what I got as I did a 180in the backfield.

Third run I did well, but was not recorded so I got to run again.

Fourth run I got a 56.64 I believe with +1 for a cone.

Last run was a 57.43.

After that I did a run in my brothers GTO and spun it out at 70 mph. OOPS! I took a few cones out when I did that.

I took some pictures and video. I'll post them up in a bit.

Those were some impressive spins and tail wagging ReZ. People were cheering you on, especially going thru options then making the sharp right.

REPU did 1:07 best, still working on understeer issues. Gonna soften front shocks and look at adjustable rear shocks and swaybar.

I thought your truck had more to go. Those were some really tight turns though. Definetly not a V8 track...

Fuchichi wishes he was there. He had to go to the Ventura County Gay parade instead.

Haha, I'll try. My car's currently at Rotary Power. I probably won't get it back for another 2 months because it might get painted while the engine's out.
