Autocrossing tonight in LAS VEGAS!!!! Now with Pics

Zzyzx · 07-27-2003

Going Autocrossing tonight, yes its hot in Las vegas so we race at night durring the summer.

its as Sunset Station tonight (07/27/03) Check/tech opens at 5:00 and closes at 6:30, first car out at 7:00. come check us out if your in town, even if you dont want to race.

what unique about tonight is that a friend I race with will be driving my car. Hes a multi time National champ in a street prepaired CRX (CSP), So it should be interesting to see how much faster my car can be with a good driver.

I'll post results of Me Vs the pro later tonight (probably after 11).

Well, it's like 2000 miles... so I don't think I can make it by tonight.... I don't think the Civic has Warp

So have fun

I wish we had a night event... that would be sweet.

good morning every body! finally got back. I help out with take down and we go out to "Breakfast" afterwards.

so heres the skinny.

My best time of the night 31.9
Former National champ (CSP) in my car 30.9

thats only 1 sec difference so I think Im doing pretty well.

Unfortunatly I got 3rd tonight, thanks to a 2.5 RS coming in with a 31.5. Oh well.

Why wait? My 02 EX coupe is bone stock (yes, even the tires) and I autox it. I might not finish at the top of the list but I'm getting seat time.

like jnycash said, go now. Stock classes is where you'll learn the most and the quickest. Preped cars let you make too many mistakes and this can lead to developing Bad habbits (That slow you down).

good point, all ive done to my car right now is intake and exhaust, next thing within the nex couple months are brakes and wheels. But in Setember in chapel hill they'll having a couple races ill be out there!

Bingo... you drive the car. Don't let the car drive you.
Other little tidbit... if you ever get fun runs... go with the old guy who kicks everyone's ass. Thats the guy to learn from. Even better... get him to ride with you (if he's gutsy enough to do it)
