Autocross

[newb]

Thanks for the info, but the reason I asked is Chaz and I are in about the same area. The class I was reffering to is one offered at a race track in our area.

 

[|Chaz|]

Sanderson Field in Shelton. It's $25 to get in. What would you be bringing for a car?

 

[newb]

Hmm. Id be in my Z28. Id just be runnin shake downs, just to get a bit more seat time.

 

[|Chaz|]

Oh ok, well if you decide to come out make sure there is nothing loose in the trunk/interior or the car. The throttle/clutch/brakes returns/doesn't stick. Make sure it's not leaking fluids. Check the wheel bearings. Make sure there's enough brake pads left. All the basics mainly.

Anything done to the car or is it mainly stock?

 

[newb]

Mainly stock. I may just come out and watch. My front rotors are a lil bit warped and its annoying as all hell, it would drive me nuts on the drive home if they got worse while I was runnin lol. When is it anyways?

 

[|Chaz|]

I'll let you know when I find out the date.

Hmm, does anyone know if I could get away with swapping in a d16z6 and stay in the same class...? I'd prefer not to get bumped up another class.

In 3 months I drove 6000+ miles

z6 came in your chassis in the US, so yes.

 

[|Chaz|]

chaz, get a preformance alignment before u go. worth the money.

 

[|Chaz|]

Lol I already went. I was running the same times as most of the Miata guys with similar modifications. I also got to drive an older model BMW M3, that was a blast. I drove two Miatas too. One that was completely setup for autocross and one stock newer model.

By the end of the day I'd gotten at least 30 runs in. The Civic passed with flying colors.

sweet. next time get some pics and videos.

 

[|Chaz|]

My girlfriend took a few pictures but she wasn't able to get close enough to get any really good ones. She took some video of me making a run in the M3 and spinning it out, but it was her first time video taping so it wasn't the best video. I'll post some pictures.

I'm going again on July 3rd.
