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!








Me piloting teh Dizzevo (thanks matt d!) Once dry, I ran a bunch of runs in the mid to low 30's, finally a best of 30.06.


cheering section in background! you guys helped me go faster, I swear!






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.




She's tuning hard here! That black 350z in the background is ty's car, he ran a 30.1!


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


Tons of fun! If you haven't tried this, def check it out!

I had the only dsm there. Time to get a real alignment and I'm thinking some new tires. I was happy to keep up with Rose's evo time!! After watching Scheide's rip it up with the Evo, I'm some what jealous of 13yrs or suspension R&D. Those Evo's friggen move!

It was also fun to get the ride alongs with some of the instructors. Also let them take my car out for a couple runs, to which they agreed that I have a dsm which drives extremely loose. fun times for sure!


Any pics of my car?

It was fun watching your car, you were sidways way easy!

As far as keeping up with me.. you bested a 32.199.... I think Rachael in the Mini did a better job of keeping up with you at 32.471!!

My last run of the day was a 31.3 on the clock...?? Ya, this car was a very interesting ride, one of the instructors rode with and said she was holding her breath for have the time or more. It certainly was fun though!

You were looking super fast in the Evo!! Nice driving!

How many cones did you kill though? Don't forget to add 2 seconds for each one.

Looks like a ton of fun!!

[rose0529]

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!

[Matt D.]

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.

[cmspaz]

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?

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?

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.

[awd-drifter]

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

[asshanson]

He runs Kumho XS, 255 wide I think.

[Kracka]

Glad you guys got out to try autocross!

It isn't just a bunch of lame homos playing in a parking lot after all, is it?

[A//// Guy]

Looks like fun! Ill have to make it out in June to the next one.
