I think your car would have been able to hold it down.

Seriously though, maybe once your car is lowered we can roll, I know it would do a hell of a lot better than mine.

You guys are so right about 90% driver etc...after waiting anxiously for hours to run and when I finally did...drove twice off the track on my first and second run...I didnt overshoot or anything, I just f*&cking didnt see the turn...But on my third/last run, I was so careful to at least post a decent time and posted a 67 sec....good enough to at least do 1st or 2nd on my class. (beat a WRX with an aftermarket turbo pushing 280 hp). I'll try to do better next time and BTW, Melt, I'm racing again in 2 weeks at the same venue...1st run (starts at 9am), I'll probably be there at 7:30 to be able to walk the track etc...:flash:

This is the thread fo' me!
Let me just say hello all! I've been around for about a year now, but never had anything really good to say about my (4 total) 89 LX 4 doors.
In August I finally got my hands on a cheap 90 Si.
I had taken one of my LX's autocrossing here and absolutely love it.
Points event number one is this weekend, the 16th.
I'm hoping to have my suspension (Tokicos and GC's) on by then. I took the Si out for a couple of events last year and must say, I could feel the need for suspension.
Right now I'm running in STS. I don't have a 2003 rulebook yet so I don't know if replacing my camber adjustment plates will knock me into Street Modified or not. I hope to know soon.
Anyhow, just wanted to let you know there's another AutoX lover out here and if you've got questions about it, let me know. It is really SUCKY that I'm having to compete in STS. When we install my B18A this year and I start competing with it next year it'll bump me to Street Modified where we have a 300hp WRX waiting to kick my ass.

:D

I'd appreciate that very much. You can normally catch me on AIM. My nick is K5R44. Or on ICQ: 82106235
If not, could you email me? [email protected]

Thank you much!

;)

I missed the fun event yesterday so I haven't been able to snag a rulebook yet.

well I posted the pics in honda techs autocross forum and some of em got pissed about my uneducated comments about the corvettes and one went as far as to say pickup trucks run good autocross, and another told me to post an album link and got pissed about some of the pics I took on the way over there and on the way back ... damn, cant those people appreciate anything?

Reid was the main guy who got pissed, but at least a couple of people were cool and liked my pics.

Looks like you had fun...

Ok, I should have my suspension and brakes squared away by then... How do I get all up in it?

log on to this site: http://www.sfrscca.org/NewMembers/#DoNow

Download the application and fax it with your credit card number ($75) or mail a check payable to that organization... then its $25 per race.

I am going to run at the next cscc event in sacramento, they dont make you do any memebership BS, its like $30 to run.

Oh yea, and those HT cluckers locked my pics from the autocross.

EF_LSVtec

02-13-2003, 11:41 AM

Thats HT for ya! Good luck Melt, just let me know if you need any help. SCCA is one of the largest non-profit car related org in the state. If you just want to try and run your car, I guess the one time $30 fee without any membership should suffice. But my advice is, if you're autocrossing for the long haul, consider the organization running the races and the type of people you'll encounter. Good relationships, comraderie among fellow racers kinda like choosing your forum...Post on HT if you just want a quick help or AF when you want both help and good peeps...my .02 BTW, thanks for posting pix:flash:
