He got a 5th in Sportsman (the big boys). Congrats Brent.

Just to put the value of the local autocross school into perspective; a single day of Evolution Driving School costs $250!

Having done both, I can say that the local school is a much better value (especially considering that it doesn't require traveling out of state), and the quality of the instruction is top-notch, very, very close to the level of Evolution School, and the 1:1 time with instructors is actually much better at our local school!

Edit: @Cross Yup it's on the skidpad, usually with a course design that is conducive to instruction and learning. It would be hard to teach good autocross skills on the full course. (But keep an eye out for the January event. Just sayin')

Not the road course. It is either skidpad 4 or the bondo school lot (most times we have used that one0.

Its a tad rough finding a "worth while" stock block,I may end up just ordering an OEM block & crank, or purchasing a pre-built. I talked to fullboost today and they have a forged 10:1 CR short block sitting in the shop =x.

Just a little teaser as to what I have planed...
Cool, well maybe next time I'll get to ride in it lol I won't be doing mods like that for awhile, although the electric supercharger was pretty interesting

I'd gladly take the full res image and mess around with other settings if you or anyone else would like to see it done.

It's no different than doing a normal scan of the rear view mirror.

Please don't do this. It's a cool idea, but real life is not GT5. If you're going slow enough to actually try this, then you're not really going fast enough for the information to actually be useful. (if that makes sense)
