I had a good time at the AutoX. We used Lot 3, instead of the inside lot that Speedventures usually runs.

Not to mention the fact that there was 12 awards for subies, and only about 12 subies showed up. (Not including brz). It was kinda stupid how they literally said
"Best AE86 with JDM bumper"
"Best AE86 With USDM bumper"
"Best AE86 with Aero bumper"

Might as well have done
"Best twin with FRS bumper"
"Best twin with BRZ bumper"
"Best twin with rbv2 bumper"

Or even an award to whoever slept in their car the longest... i literally saw half of the people in the show sleeping in their cars. lol

The Event was great. Only thing that bugged me was during Autox when the VIP cars would do 2-3 runs while i wait for my next run to come up.

Would also be cool if they can post the times of all that attended. it was great seeing the Ae86's doing work.

I went to the track on Saturday, got too tired to go to the event.

You are not missing out, the track is more fun than 86fest, no hype, 105F weather, rigged car show, very disorganized.

br@ndon · 09-28-2015, 03:59 PM

better than last years for sure

There was a lot of non/miscommunication between all the crews working this thing. I had difficulty getting to the autocross, as the staffs had no clue about it.

I went for autocross and i enjoyed it very much. My wife got in on the Scion drive (VIP raffle), and even though it kept interrupting the overall Autocross, it was still family smooth. There were some really good cars/drivers that I got to watch which helped me with my line. I was told the AutoX had a smaller turn out, so we got plenty of time/runs in. I know I got 8 or 9 recorded runs, and a few more without. After 3PM, when the timing was not recorded anymore... it was like... 5-6 of us running over and over, until my tires couldn't handle it, as it was 105*F+. I left at about 3:45P. I definitely dont want to do another AutoX in such heat... ugh...

I had an awesome time at the event. Given, I felt the awards/raffle took a bit too long, but that was because I left my car at the autocross paddock and I was afraid that I'd be locked in if I stayed for the whole thing. Autocross was definitely fun, so I spent most of my time there trying to put in better times. My best posted time was a 41.272, but I had a previous run that was 39 something seconds, had I not gone across the finish line backwards lol. Also, I was all stock as well, stock tires, stock brakes, stock exhaust, stock everything. Super fun, can't wait to do it again!

I also had difficulty finding the autocross. Waited in line at the front/general admission area for about an hour, then I was told I was in the wrong place haha. And it was SUPER hot, my phone and my camera kept overheating. The only video I got of myself autocrossing is a shitty cellphone video with a really bad angle because I put it in the passenger seat headrest lol.
