Played photographer today. Nice to see you guys after more than a month. I was soooo itching to race today. Anyways,here are some pics:

Another newbie

SAE car from Cal(FINALLY after not stalling it!)


See you guys at OAK or Candlestick !

 

Nice pictures. Do you happen to have any from the earlier runs? Say run group #3, Street Mod class. Post'em up if you do.

 

Sorry,Mrs. Soren. I was only there in the PM. How'd you both do ? Low 40's ?

 

Good to see you Rob! What corner were those images taken at?

 

That's okay, hopefully someone else took some and post them up too.

We all did pretty well. There were 3 of us driving Soren's car: Me, Judd, and Soren. My best time was 42.8 from a 46, and the 2 guys got a 39-something each.

Nice. I was able to (and I still don't know how) get a 40.083.

No pic's of me rob? and I brought you your shirt! lol

-Gagan

 

Holy crap, lotta body roll with those stock struts . If I end up running the car more in slush, I need to get the coilovers back in.

Congrats to Gagan on winning STX today. Beat me by 0.01 seconds (yes, 1/100th of a second!).

One of the best GGF courses we have had in a long time!

 

Best I ran was a 41.3 something. Gotta get back into practice.

 

Thanks ed. Your driving skill is easily shown, because that .010 second behind on stock struts was awesome. I think that if you car was like it was 4 weeks ago you'd have whipped me as usual.

 

Suspension woulda helped for sure, but I still had a lot more HP than your car today and couldn't pull out the time.

Car handles, ummm, "interesting" with that much body roll. I had enough rear bar on the car to at least get it to rotate, but there was a fairly fine line between on-throttle understeer (badly) and lift throttle BIG oversteer. Made the back sweeper and into that slalom a heckuva challenge to get even close to right

Need to find out if Tein makes different threaded spacer nuts for their tophats.....the tophats I picked up have "coilover" (14mm) threads in them, but the Whiteline G4s have 12x1.5mm threads on them. If they make them, great. If not, I'll improvise/fabricate something and MAKE it work

 

Oh yeah....took the long/scenic route home today down Hwy 1 and Hwy 84. On 84, I ended up right behind a bright yellow Porsche Carrera GT. WOW!

 

I can save you the hassle on that, they don't. Tried to put some on a car with G4's the other day and called our Tein rep and asked the same question.

You can use Cusco tophats which come with the 12x1.5mm.

This was the first auto-x event I actually attended so far. Loved riding shotty in Jon's L around the course. I'm gonna try and get my car out to one of these soon when its completed.

 

Bummer

OK Mike, next question....do y'all have the Cusco top hats in stock or know anyone that does? I wanted them a couple months ago, but got the Teins because I couldn't find the Cuscos in stock anywhere....

 

Right at the start,first turn out of the timing box.
