Maybe

50.7 dirty, but I ran a 50.8 clean. https://vimeo.com/149534917

I still can't believe this event sold out. With all the usual shopping, family stuff, office parties and everything, I didn't expect more than about 30 entries.

Looks like we're going to have teams of 6 drivers with skill levels evenly distributed for good competition. Each team will randomly ...

I'm towing the trailer so will be driving my truck up to the event, which means no ride for me.
Anyone want to do a codrive - same team or not? I'm good for gas or tire money, and if we're not on the same team I promise to not beat you too badly...
DONE deal Mr. Frank! You can co-drive my car ...

Gotta bail.

I need practice in the new car and it sounds like a shit ton of fun so I'm in.

Had fun today. Here's a video of my best clean run 33.595 https://vimeo.com/147973681

Meeeeeeeeeeee

Not one video???

That course map definitely puts the F in FAST!

I'm in!

Can't make it tomorrow. See you guys next month.

Well it seems we have a winner!

Option 2 it is then. Conti Extreme DW in 205/45-17 and a sway bar upgrade. Totally different direction than I expected but it will be great fun to try it out. I will be able to get at least one more event out of my current tires but I will order the new tires in the ...

Trust me when I say those michelins are pretty much as grippy as extreme performance tires. They are awesome and you won't be disappointed!!!!!

Thanks all for the feedback, there are some pretty good suggestions either way and I still haven't decided which way to go.

The car is definitely a daily driver that is also used for autocross, rather than an autocross car that is also driven on the road. So I'm not really interested in buying a ...

Finally got the Championship Points updated:

Greyed out the ineligible folks (less than 4 events now means they can't meet the 5 event minimum), figured the current drops (lowest 2 as of now are drops).

Pretty interesting stuff still going on ...

So the new 2016 rules have created a bit of a dilemma for me. I'm getting to the point of needing new tires soon. I was planning on stepping up from my Sumiotomo HTR ZIIIs to some real autocross tires. The stock Mazda 3 size 205/50-17 doesn't have a lot of options, only Bridgestone RE11 or Yoko ...

Very slippery for first three runs...I hadn't counter-steered that much in this car in years! Great fun, certainly.

Really enjoyed the high speed sections...it really fit this car on this day. I was WOT after second ...
