Yeah I found enough cones under my car to start my own Autox Course on my block.

Wanna come?

Had a great time as always.
Too bad Hector chickened out on the swap.
He too afraid I would get faster time in his own car

Now post up them pics

I did alright.
I have to adjust my sways to med-soft in the front so I don't have my front plowing as much as I do through turns also need to adjust for some neg camber.

Apart from that everything went great.
I did some prep work yesterday and found that I was missing some key suspension components.
Car felt alot better.

I ran in a parkinglot yesterday with some serious bumps. The course designer didn't think about the part of the corse AFTER the Finish gate. So four times I hit the end of my suspension travel. What an uninviting noise that is.

I'd like to get a camber kit at the end of the season, then the tools to fine tune the settings. Or see how agressive I can get a shop to adjust the allignment next time I put new tires on (15k miles on, should be soon)

Videos never seem to do the sport justice. Espically when you got a monkey behind the camera ;-) !

The FCSCC club has a photographer in the group (see pix a few threads up). I think the still photos look more appealing then any video. But then again, there's never been anyone taking videos with a $$$ video camera.

I'd be nice to get a bunch of us togeather to put a good showing of G's. I'b be willing to take a trip and make a NorthEast AutoCross day. Maybe the Subaru guys will start to worry that were trying to take over their sport .

Agreed, like I said before I am having a hard time trying to even get the Team350Gz guys and gals to come out and watch.

I believe there are autocross events at Nassau Colleseum. That may be a decent halfway point (I don't know where the meadowlands are actually). I don't know of any other clubs between Boston and where ever you are in NJ. Except for the Fairfield County Club (Farifield County, Conn.) that runs near Hartford, Conn.

Oops, I was way off. Here this place would be a good half way point between My primary autocross spot and Giant's Stadium.

I've never ran with them yet. I wanted to but I had to cross off some events from my calender when someone hit my car.
