  • Had a great day Sunday

    Charity autocross event with the Tucson Porsche and Corvette clubs. Can't think of a better way to help the less fortunate :)

    Well, they say experience matters more than a fast car, and it looks like they were right. I was pretty outclassed, Here's the field I was up against. I ended up with a raw time right about the midpoint.

    Course was generally fast, with a few sharp turns that rewarded good speed control by getting you back on the fast line sooner.

    The new EBC Greenstuffs and ATE Superblue fluid I did on Saturday get a glowing thumbs up. It reached 100* in the afternoon, and with a bunch of the drivers having left after the first half of the event (2 run groups, each ran twice), there was only a few minutes between runs. Great solid braking with no fade the whole time.

    Great thing about Autocross is that it is mostly driver and not as much car.

    I am hoping to do some autocross next year (live in Omaha so not much/any winter autocrossing up here). It looks pretty fun.

      I've got to admit, as much as some people complain about autocrossing in 100*-115* heat, it's nice to be able to run twice a month year-round.

      Of course, the guys we send to Nationals are f$#@$ed when it rains, like it does every year..

      Evolution school here is Thanksgiving weekend, I'm signed up for phase 1..
