damn that course had some tight turns on it. i've done that a few times with my wipers also. i hate the positioning of certain things on our cars.

Chase · 03-17-2008, 08:37 PM

anyone else see this?

**Gonzo** · 03-17-2008, 09:02 PM

Pretty good stuff!

Did you try some runs with fewer shifts? Seems like you were going back and forth really fast in some sections. Did you try leaving it in gear?

And yeah, wipers are no big deal. Happens to a lot, especially with a lever position like our cars. Had a Lotus Exige at the course this weekend that kept getting it's horn blown. Kept corner workers on their toes. Including myself...

PS: No slaloms?

^ Gonzo every time I see your avatar it makes me imagine Henry Winkler typing up your posts

the motha f**kin Fonz!

Chase · 03-18-2008, 12:34 AM

Yeah when I didnt keep the revs high it would bog down and understeer!!!!! So I tried to keep it in Peak Power as much as possible so It would pull itself out, there were just so many hairpin turns.

cracker099 · 03-18-2008, 02:17 AM

What class was that?

Chase · 03-18-2008, 08:42 AM

^ street

***nycclaye*** · 03-18-2008, 10:29 AM

^^Street what?!?!? STS? STX? STU?

And how come you were able to hit 3rd on thatt course! That's some BS! All the auto-x courses in SC are 2nd gear courses!

Chase · 03-18-2008, 02:33 PM

NO idea what class man, it was just a local event sanctioned by a local porshe club..

TeamBadger · 03-18-2008, 04:07 PM

Don't drive with your hand on the shifter....

Chase · 03-18-2008, 09:52 PM

^ thanks, Working on that habit..

07TWSi · 03-19-2008, 05:48 PM

^ Yeah, I second that hand on shifter thing. I used to do it too, but it is so much better to just shift and throw your hand up on the wheel.

Damn, I'd be nervous from those giant light posts in the parking lot. We're lucky enough to auto-x at abandoned airports!

I'm heading to the first warm-up event of the season this Sunday and I can hardly wait!

07TWSi · 03-19-2008, 05:50 PM

Oh yeah.. Chase, what are your mods? You had some impressive times.

for a set up like that go like -2* camber front, -1.5* camber rear, and 1/4* toe out, and you'll annihilate out there

Chase · 03-19-2008, 11:35 PM
