First Autocross practice of the season, two vids.

[R/T93]

We had our first autocross practice of the season yesterday, the turnout was HUUUGE. There were easily 100+ cars there. All the practices I had been to in years past were normally low attendance and high run count. Oh well, got 4 runs in just like a race day. Everyone seemed to treat it like a race day just no set run groups or classes.

I really need to figure out this suspension.... With cold tires it is LOOSE. I had forgot my tire blankets at home, that may of helped. Since the run groups were so large it was 20-25 minutes between each run, I dont think tires got above 80F.

Had a nice slide, threw it into the corner while still braking slightly. Downshifted into 1st right before the apex and floored it, lol. I suck and couldnt save it. Should have just let off the gas after the first slide.

This was my best run of the day, a 54.85x. FTD Was low 51's. I had a passenger so curb weight was probably 4300 lbs. Hah. I couldnt imagine if my car was 6-700 lbs lighter, that would be quite a ride.

Thanks for watching. Plans for the future are some 18x10 rims and some 285 Hoosier A6's and some Ohlins R/T coil overs... Should have all that this spring.

Looks like the same layout as when I was up last, but no rain! Nice.

[R/T93]

They are always similar but never the same.

Also we had the 2012 season banquet and I got my 1st place jacket! Its pretty nice, hehe.

If you end up wanting to sell your current wheels to fund the 18x10s let me know. I was considering picking up a set just couldn't decide on charcoal or black for a white car.

[R/T93]

I will be keeping these wheels. Will probably buy another set even...

Nice runs, that was a fast course.

[HLxDrummer]

Looks like a lot of fun!

What are you expecting to improve by going to Ohlins? Just curious.

Also, do you know how much those wheels you have weight?

[R/T93]

They are the same as stock, 24-25 lbs.

I plan to gain suspension that actually works rather than just goes up and down with a stiffer than stock spring.
