Nice, what track is this at?

VIR :cheers:

looks like fun!

We will have to get together next year at VIR, I need to learn how to drive my toy like it was made to go.

I went autocrossing once, with Tom, Jeff, and Lee...my time was beetin by a Smart Car buy almost 2 seconds. :bilmem::skep:

I'd like to do this !

We will have to get together on a bigger auto-X course bigger than Langley Speedway. I think the smart car tops out at 50MPH, on the straight away it won't be able to keep up with us, I hope. :lol1:

I think my major problem compared to him was wheel base in some of the slaloms...where it seemed like we just fit in between the cones, he looked like he had 3 car lengths to play with...it also appeared by the class he was in, he had done it before, and I was trying to avoid killing cones. :willy:

Sorry...but that's still pitiful, letting a Smart Car beat you. :lol:

On the other hand, I got passed by a C4 today. :chicken:

Joe I had no problem with the Smart Car:slap: Must be a C4 thing:p

Some yellow car autox..................

Get out there and have fun... but be forwarned that it's extremely addicting. Also, your car will have cooling issues w/ that heat pump under the hood once you learnto really drive it on track. Also... braking issues once you pick up speed. But... it won't be an issue your first 4-5 events out dependign on how quickly you pick it up.
You bought a wonderful car to learn in :cheers:
ACU-4 is a wonderful venue :patriot:

I am kinda slow, I should be good for 10-15 events then. :headbutt:

I had a great time with the NCM full course for 2 days at VIR! 3.27 mile road course early in July 2007. The old 97’ does just fine on a road course with Hoosiers and my right foot. Was pointed by MANY times and passed a lot of C6ZO6s in the straights and hung with many in the corners……stock F45 suspension to boot…….160+MPH in the straights and 105+ in the climbing ssssssssss. 97’ did fine as I dogged the **** out of it for 2 days. All on pump gas. Got about 8 MPG and put over 180 track miles on it! Got the oil to 325 & trans to 274 in 90+ heat………….then drag raced it the next few weekend and took the R/U spot without a hitch running low 11s in 90+ degree heat. Man I love this car!!!!!!!!!

Now that got some heat. When are you going to be given classes?

....and I had the slowest time out of all of us corvettes :D

I am not sure which is worse. :p

Says the person with Road Race experience...I am getting close, but as soon as I get a really good grasp of handling the car in a straight line and knowing exactly what the car is trying to tell me, then you and Steve will be starting on the road courses

but still had a blast, didn't ya?

I was doing about 137 on the backstretch after the "oak tree" in August and got passed by a Mini-Cooper !!!
