What? No love for autoxers?

There are a couple of Solo Nats practice events happening on Aug. 18. Brooksville Airport and Lehigh Acres (Buckingham Airfield). I'll be melting in Lehigh

sixshooter 07-24-2018 10:18 PM

Not much interest anymore in autox. My sister probably needs kissing but I'm not the guy for the job.

The FIRM in Starke FL has weekend trackdays several times a month, every month. Worth checking out.

all you can drive, no groups. Last time I went through 2 tanks of gas. Decent price too.

DNMakinson 09-20-2018 12:46 AM

Thanks for putting this together.

sixshooter 09-20-2018 06:58 AM

PDG has excellent events. Contemplating Nov 3 Palm Beach. Never been there.

Blkbrd69 10-04-2018 08:31 PM

Just got the new Chin flyer,

Dec 8-9 Sebring with Chin will have a night session, no details yet, my bet is Saturday evening.

I've done Sebring at night and it is DARK!

I have work to do to the car before I track again. Must get to it...

vtbandit 10-15-2018 07:52 AM

If anyone is at the 10/20 NASA Sebring event, stop and say hi. I'll be working grid.

Contemplating the 11/6 TNIA even at PBIR just to get a fix. Haven't tracked the car since April.

sixshooter 10-15-2018 12:42 PM

I'll be at Ryan_G's wedding on the 20th.

It's usually cooler than this by now.

vtbandit 10-17-2018 11:53 AM

Anyone doing the TNIA event on 11/6 at PBIR?

sixshooter 10-17-2018 06:55 PM

If I drive 3 hours over there it's going to be for a full day event.

DNMakinson 10-20-2018 10:12 AM

Tomorrow, Oct 21, @ AMP
 
Is anyone going to October 21- Jzilla @ AMP? They contacted me about some novice openings, but I don't care to go if I won't "know" anyone there.

@Schroedinger I am trying to get to the Nov 1 HPDE @ AMP.

Schroedinger 10-20-2018 12:16 PM

I’m not going up tomorrow but will be there on Nov 1st. I like the Jzilla events, should be a good one.

vtbandit 10-23-2018 09:55 AM

Anyone planning on going to the Firm in the near future?

Pre-registering for an all-day Friday event is $150 and there's a $50 first time coupon out there. I have a vacation day to use before January and am thinking of going up for a Friday event. Looking at the 11/2 event.

Firm's event page

sixshooter 10-24-2018 03:24 PM

I've decided to do Sebring on Saturday December 22nd. Shandelle from V8R is going also.

$350 all day with catered lunch included. Only 3 run groups so lots of track time.

Yeah, I'll be there Sunday Nov 11 but not for a track day. It's the annual state autox championship and this year it's Martin SCC turn to host it. It's just another local autox event with a few outliers like myself driving in from 300+ miles away.

Driving up on Sat. so looking for recommendations on where to go for a decent meal. I'm sure it's corporate America heaven out there but if anyone knows a good local place that serves a decent steak please chime in.

Schroedinger 11-01-2018 11:15 AM

Anyone else at AMP for Jzilla today? Been a fine morning so far.

DNMakinson 11-01-2018 01:12 PM

They never had an opening for me. Would had loved to have been there.

Have Fun.

Video from Sunday as autocrossers attacked the FIRM for the state championships. I know you guys love tracking but I believe watching autocross videos is a bit more exciting. Obviously I'm biased.

Sorry for the bad video quality. Trying to get used to the VIRB camera. Coulda sworn it had dl'ed the hi res vid. But hope you enjoy the sound of a stock internal VVT engine at 7800.

Looks like I'll be signing up for the intermediate group. Thanks for fielding a few questions this weekend @sixshooter .

I'm hoping I can make Sebring on the 22nd. I'll be in the Lotus if I can manage it.

Attachment 222319

I'm hoping it's faster than the Miata :x:

Ryan_G 11-27-2018 05:07 PM

I cleared it with the wife and will be for sure going to the Sebring event on December 22 with Performance Driving Group. The Lotus will be making an appearance to earn a Sebring sticker for the back window.

Joker 12-02-2018 09:39 AM

I just got signed up as well. Better to as for forgiveness than permission.

Welp, That escalated quickly. Engine is now out of the car and I'm battling getting things back in order in time for the track day. I should have bought a Porsche..

sixshooter 12-19-2018 01:31 PM

I'm going over on Friday afternoon and staying at the Chateau. I know Ryan is going on Friday Also. Anybody else going to be there the night before?

I was just looking at prices. Did you get hairpin view? how much did you pay?

sixshooter 12-19-2018 07:00 PM

I got what was cheapest. I don't need a view. IDK what I paid.

Ryan_G 12-20-2018 08:45 AM

We just end up sleeping in the room anyway so there is no need for a view.

Joker 12-20-2018 08:53 AM

More so for my fiancée.

If my wife isn't shopping in town she is at the Tower or in the garages. She's told me in the past that Sebring is where all of the clearance items go to die from the various stores. She always comes home with lots of clothes, shoes, and stuff.

Hmm.. I'll mention that to her. Honestly, She would probably rather be there on track. Shes the type to get her hands dirty rather than shop around at a mall. Shes going to be a fantastic first wife.

Sixshooter, sixshooter's guest, Joker, and myself are in the first four garages by the grid entrance. If anyone is here feel free to drop by.

sixshooter 12-28-2018 08:02 PM

So Ryan blew up the supercharger in his Lotus. It's ok though, it fixed itself.

I'm curious if anyone else wants to go to Homestead Miami Speedway on Jan 20th with Performance Driving Group?

Miami might be out of my driving reach =( I am planning on going back to Sebring in April though

sixshooter 12-31-2018 10:16 AM

I'm second-guessing it. Looks like I've got some other plans developing.

Blkbrd69 12-31-2018 08:01 PM

It's sucked watching RaceHero and being on the sidelines for 2018.

I wrecked last April in 17B which wiped out the right side of the car, the diff, subframe, right control arms, plus a couple other misc. things.

We decided instead of running the rest of the year to build the car to ST5 rules for this year.

I was planning to be at HMS but I didn't want to take a car 90% done 8 hours away.

sixshooter 02-27-2019 10:22 PM

17B? People are subdividing that corner now?

Is 17A anything between the two braking zones or anything before the bridge?

And how did you wipe out the right side on the second part of 17? I always envisioned going wide into the rubber belting and tires before the gantry with the left side.

AA-Ron 02-28-2019 07:08 AM

A is before the bridge and B is anything after usually. But it's all 17: bumpy the if I don't adjust ride high the location I bottom out on.

I was attempting to gain a higher exit speed to the front straight so I ran a wider line then usual. That put me in the marbles and the rear started sliding out.

I tried correcting (over correcting looking back) and stabbing the throttle but the car hooked and threw me right into the tire wall. (I'll try to find the video)

This was all in an attempt to catch the FRS we found out was illegal.

Blkbrd69 03-14-2019 04:20 PM
