So who's going to Oakland Sunday? I plan on attending. I know I've said that in the past but I'm definitely up for waking up early this Sunday for some autox fun!

I'm gonna be out of town...

I'm planning on going, unless I don't find my SCCA card, in which case, I don't think I wanna spend the money for a weekend pass.

Do you really need the card? Can't you just bring a printout of your registration? My card says it's expired, but I renewed and never got a new one, hope it works!

Add me to SCCA 04/21/13, my second auto cross event.
I just finished putting in my camber bolts and front sway bar. Getting my alignment today.
Replaced tires with 225/45 17 Rivals. RTR class

First time to a SCCA event, anything important I really need to know besides bring cash for weekend pass and payment.

Let me know how much negative camber you get out of those bolts, as I'm considering those for my next mod, just want to make sure I can get the amount of camber I want.

As for what to bring to the event.. My checklist consists of water, a snack, sunscreen, painters tape, a hat, helmet, tire pressure gauge, gopro, and remove everything out of my car beforehand. And get there early if you want to have a good place on the grid.

I might try to go.. i've only been to 1 other ax in my frs, and one with a mustang long ago. Boats don't ax verry well

Good list, only thing I would add is a lawn chair, just in case you have to stand around and wait for your run/volunteer group

I've pretty much pulled my house inside out looking for my freaking SCCA ID#. Combing through my e-mails now, hope I find it, I don't get to these event often enough as it is

You mind me asking who is doing your alignment?

littledeadpool · 04-21-2013, 11:34 PM

Was able to cut my time down every run.

Video coming up soon.

I got my alignment at Motorsport Techniques in Hawyward.
Cool shop, friendly guys.

Nice. What a difference on the before and after. With that extra grip in the rear you should be dialed. Thanks for sharing. Are you going to the Marina in May?

Since I changed the tires and camber at the same time, i'm not sure which to give credit to. It's a whole new experience driving on tires like this, from my drifting days.

I'm not sure if i can make the UFO on 5/05.
Definitely going to American Auto-X on 5/18.
But I might try and hit Laguna Seca on 5/19, I better be able to beat my 1:58.1 with the upgrades
