With the WRX tranny, it takes out 3rd automatically, and usually 1st and 2nd go with it for convenience

 

O ok, thanx, I think I get it now

 

so the next san fran chapter auto x is on the 15th, what time do you all think it will end, i have a prom that night... my girl friend would be so pissed if i was late!!!

 

Groups 1-4 are in the morning (9-1:00) and groups 5-8 are in the afternoon (1:00-5:00) although the events often get behind schedule.

If you are running in SM, that is run group 2, work group 4, so you should be finished by 2:00 at the very latest. With it being your first event, you might want to get there around 8:00-8:15 to give yourself time to find where everything is.

 

where do you find this out? Is it on sfrscca.com?

 

wow lorry you are my hero!!! thanks a bunch, will i see you there?

 

Kind of. The official run order is here:

The events immediately round the bay (Coliseum, Candlestick, Golden Gate Fields) are usually busy and tend to overrun a bit.

 

Yup, I'm planning to be there. I'm running in the first group (DS #21). I'm looking forward to it 'cos I've missed the last couple of rounds with other committments.

 

i was there, what were your times, my best was a 55.4 and i wanna know if i was doing ok?

 

55.4 is pretty good for a first outing. Which car were you in? I saw a couple of yellow WRXs on the grid, but didn't get a chance to head over. Did you run in group 2?

I got a 52.14 which I was pretty happy with, given I was running my beat up Azenis. I think I ended up third or fourth.

I really enjoyed that track. The blast through the middle to the hairpin was great fun.

 

i was in the yellow wrx running in group 2 with gold rims
i was also running on all season tires!!!

 

Wagon or sedan? I think there was one of each.

If you ran Falkens or something similar, that would probably get you an extra second. DOT R compound are usually a couple of seconds faster.

Another problem with all season tires is that they get trashed by autocrossing. The small tread blocks get ripped apart very quickly. I destroyed my first RE92s in about 4500 mils because of this. If you want to keep your all-seasons in good shape, I'd recommend getting a second set of wheels/tires.

 

i was a sedan, and i know what you mean, think i could use the stock wheels with new tires... right now i am using 18 in gold rotas

 

Ok, two more questions since I finally get to go this weekend

Firstly, do I have to register (I saw you do for rallyx)? and if so where?

Secondly, I sent in my registration only last monday (17th) and havent recieved it yet, will I probably get it in time? If not, will I still be able to compete, is there any way to get a temporary thing from the SCCA saying I registered?

Thank you

 

1. Ya, you must register and pay 30 bucks, but it is relatively easy and painless

2. you should call the office and have them email you a confirmation and then youl will be fine
