Northwest Track Day/Auto-X Thread

Titan1080 · 05-22-2011, 11:58 PM

Hey all, figured I'd start a thread specifically for sharing events, results and pics of track days, drag racing and autocrossing or anything racing-related like arranging a meet at a karting place like Pacific Grand Prix to either race or watch a drifting event or whatever.

Anyhow, to start it off, I'll be out in Spec Jay's neck of the woods next Sunday 5-29 for the BSCC Novice Autocross event, check out the link if interested.

Quite well due to the handling. The straights though they pull ahead. With the HPDE days they will get flagged if they don't let the "faster" car by. I've been passing quite a few lately due to my setup and general driving since everyone drives at their comfort level.

The best compliment I got was from a driver of an Audi R8. We were playing tag a bit during the session, afterwards I went to say hi and he says "your car is quick"………I'm still smiling about that.

Here's a few pics from last Sunday, had an absolute blast but after that I'm afraid I'm going to have to start taking it seriously...

My best time with one cone down was a 67.489, the best time I saw was an instructor's ~61s run in a Tacoma X-runner of all things, but then serious skill and slick tires can make a huge difference!

Here's a set of videos of some of my runs and of other's runs as well:

^ Nice! Car sounds good! Now …..the coilovers

Titan1080 · 05-31-2011, 11:13 PM

Thanks! I'm thinking baby-step my way to coilovers, some Stillen sway bars would help level out some of that body roll from being so high off the ground...

At some point this summer I plan on taking a day off for that, probably sometime in July or August when the weather has the least probability of rain.

Don't need to do much other than show up to an event, register and start driving. I'm going to try and make the July 3rd event with BSCC and the NWDE Clothing Optional event

on July 10th.
