Cone Dodging = good fun!

[scheides]

Some of us attended the MAC novice school this past weekend. Here's some pics I stole from others that were kind enough to share.

Rosey was an animal! His car sounded and looked so hawt. Rosey's best was a 31.34!

Nice shot of anna's car leaning a bit! Note dizzevo in background LOL! She was running nice and easy 38's until an instructor got her to turn off traction control and put her foot down! Dipped into the 33's.

Racheal was screaming that supercharged mini, sounded so awesome! 32.4 was her best IIRC.

Thanks for posting up the pictures scheides! I have a couple videos of rachael and I that im upoading onto youtube as we speak! Scheides was ripping it up all day, mattd's evo was sounding beefy on those cams!

We've talked about running a test and tune this summer for fun!

Keep in mind that this is after Anna stated last year, and I quote, "We don't autocross."

I'm glad you all had fun and have changed your mind about cone dodging. :)

Hope to see you guys at some points events this season ;)

Course looks identical to last year's, and there's a lot of tricks to making it work for you instead of against you. Evo guys... first gear, I hope?

Evo guys... first gear, I hope?
2nd gear is quite a bit quicker on that course, 1st gear becomes like a switch and it's pretty difficult to modulate the power, especially with a low traction surface like that.

Glad you guys had fun, I really enjoyed the class even though it was raining all day last year. I agree 1st would be difficult, still in good powerband in 2nd for those smaller turbos.

What was quickest time of the day? What type of car?

What was quickest time of the day? What type of car?
I'm pretty sure Scheides had FTD, though it was with a cone. Ty (Brandon's friend) with the black 350Z had a 30.1 I believe, couple other cars right around there too.

Keep in mind that my car has sticky street tires, stiffer springs and an aggressive alignment. That is easily enough to make the 1 second gap between Scheides and Rosey.

ah man that looks so fun. MattD, what kind of tires you got?
