I raced in canterbury last weekend. I think there is one more event at Midway?

Re: 2010 MAC/Met Council Autocross Schedule
 

If I get my tranny fixed and can find the long battery hold down bolt for a 1g, seems impossible to do that. I will try to make it out to midway to find out how the fwd handles.

Anyone doing COM super sunday at dakota tech? I'm bringing my talon with the new setup... shoudl be fun. But i'm in a crazy class with cars with R-comps and such.

Re: 2010 MAC/Met Council Autocross Schedule
 

That's on the 9th?

I might be down. 2x 1g's at an autoX would be the lulz

Re: 2010 MAC/Met Council Autocross Schedule
 

Hey Paul, did Jeff do your alignment after you put in the active toe eliminators? He vaguely remembered doing it, but he thought it was my car.

and yes, the 9th. Wanna have a Street Modified F battle with me? :D

Re: 2010 MAC/Met Council Autocross Schedule
 

Yea Jeff did the alignment.... his main alignment tool of choice was profanity :tongue:

Oh sure, why the hell not!

Re: 2010 MAC/Met Council Autocross Schedule
 

did you have any issues with the toe being off due to the toe elims? Turns out the collar protrudes just a bit too much from the trailing arm for mine... with the locknut in there I couldn't get the rod end in far enough and was getting toe-out. We had to take the locknut out and mill it down so we could get a couple more turns out of the rod end :)

If i pull the trailing arms out again, i'm gonna mill the insert itself down a bit.

COM event = be prepared to stand around for 12 hours and race for 12 minutes. Just a heads up

Re: 2010 MAC/Met Council Autocross Schedule
 

isn't that how all autocrosses are?

Re: 2010 MAC/Met Council Autocross Schedule
 

Well, thats slightly better than drag racing, stand around for 8 hours race for 70 seconds.

Re: 2010 MAC/Met Council Autocross Schedule
 

Not test and tunes. Many times test and tunes people can get in 20-30 runs if they want. Not 6 like the COM events

Re: 2010 MAC/Met Council Autocross Schedule
 

Actually, I did not. The toe was very neutral - I must have lucked out. With your eliminator and the RM rear bar, the car actually rotates when I tell it to.

Yea, that's unfortunately the case... I just was frustrated by my performance last time out so I want another crack at it.

Re: 2010 MAC/Met Council Autocross Schedule
 

I'm liking how my car feels, not gonna make it to BIR this year so i'd like to do an autox. 6 runs... whatever.

Re: 2010 MAC/Met Council Autocross Schedule
 

From the one COM event and one MAC event I have been to, the COM event was just run very cumbersome, lots of down time between run groups, etc. lots of wasted time. I was literally there for 13 hours and didn't even stick around to work the corners for the last few run groups. (Yes, I was that jackass)

MAC runs their events much more efficient IMO.

Re: 2010 MAC/Met Council Autocross Schedule
 

ah... I just really want to run Dakota tech. Anyone run there before? Is it faster than a normal autox? The course they have there is really cool and seems to have good potential.

Re: 2010 MAC/Met Council Autocross Schedule
 

DCTC is super fast compared to other auto-x's I've seen. In my old slow stock automatic wrx I was hitting 65-70 mph in the straights.

Re: 2010 MAC/Met Council Autocross Schedule
 

that's awesome. I think I'll put up with the standing around.

Re: 2010 MAC/Met Council Autocross Schedule
 

Yea it's like a mini road course. shame they put these orange objects everywhere to give miata's a chance...

DCTC is the most fun autocross course I've ever driven.

Re: 2010 MAC/Met Council Autocross Schedule
 

I have run DCTC for the BMW driving clinics and it's like a mini road course. Running the Evo at 30psi was a mistake, 15-20psi would have been more than enough for how tight that course is.
