Nobody running auto-x this season?
I know some of us have some more pressing issues than beating up our cars.....(kids, houses..etc..etc..)
I just don't remember this board being quite this dead.
gdmax, Bejay any of you guys running this season?

btw, that's an awful lot of dive-in for having coilovers....are you using the standard springs on the BCs or did you uprate them?

nope, those are standard 8k - front/6k - rear. I don't think it's a dive-in though, I got my front ride height set to 26" (which is equivalent to 1.9 - 2.0" of drop)

More and more data aquisition systems are doing that for amateur now. Usually in the $500-$1000 level. I'm actually toying with the idea of taking my basic Auterra feed and laying it onto a independent video (el cheap) just to get speeds, RPM's, etc. to show up.

I'll probably start later this season...many issues and excuses--none of which are that great to be honest...but nonetheless, I am avoiding someone who frequently autocrosses locally whom I don't want to see anymore...so that is part of it...

Then bring your a$$ to FedEX, I was on the limiter in second at three places last sunday. I should have even shifted into third. It was all sweepers and slaloms, no tight turns like the ripken course.

our house is now "under contract" closing August 1st.
bid on the "new" house has been sent, will get the counter tomorrow.
by the end of august, the GT6 should be towed up here.
by the end of auguet 2009 it should be ready to hit the track.
