Re: Veloce on Saturday night?

I was there Friday night with my friend Issac Teasdale. Isaac is a professional motocross racer. He is 135 lbs soaking wet. Within two runs of each other, he set the second fastest time of the week at 25.010. Twice. I watched and tried to learn some, as I was .7 off him, but I just couldn't see a di...

Re: C6 Z06 Info

Beautiful car! I love those wheels so much more than the chrome split 5 spokes on the earlier Z06s.

Re: Congrats Aerial

Having a faster track at an event for charity where people, like me and others, only made it to this one event for the year is a good thing. Makes for a better watch from the fence. Hopefully UW made some good money.

Re: Adesa Results

Great job with the event guys. I had a blast and the course was fun. Seemed like they fixed timing issues fairly quickly when they came up.

Re: C6 Z06 Info

Kind of off topic, but C6 related and yall will find it funny: I was fighting the car all day at Adesa. It was doing weird crap and really pissing me off. After the 4th run, I had remembered how to Autocross again and settled down enough to realize that the car was intervening heavily with my inputs...

Re: Car Classification

I would like to run RS3s, but I would have to reconsider my tire sizes quite a bit. Their 18" sizes aren't quite right for my sizes and I don't want to run a square setup on my DD. Looking at the calculator, I could get close to the 18 tire's factory OD so we shall see. Need to kill these 460 t...

Re: Car Classification

Street Class, what a genius decision. Never understood R-comps on a all but stock car :roll: Thats great because I've been thinking some RE-11s based on what I've read for their ability to wear well on a daily driver. I ran NT05s when they 1st came out and loved them, but even on stock camber, they ...

Car Classification

I recently bought a new car and i'm having a hard time figuring out where it goes. Its a Nissan 370z coupe (non-nismo) Looks like C class. So right now CS is the go to, but what about CSP or ST classes? Moutons doesn't make it that clear. I used to run STM, but I don't think it was a national class ...

Oh, and I have this burning desire to weave in and out of construction barrels/cones everytime I see them. It has gotten the best of me on multiple occasions! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Re: BMW Experts

I am guessing since the car wasn't taken to BMW that it's well out of warranty by now? Does he know the prev history of the owner/car? With the 15,000 mile 'scheduled' oil changes and lacksdaisical owners out there, it's tough buying a used BMW now. Id say your friend needs a new electric WP. I alwa...
