NER SCCA Autocross 5/5

You guys heading out for the Sunday autocross?

I think I'm going to use my Trackmaster app on Android to map out the track this time. Maybe it will help me from getting lost like last time haha

I'm going!

Going to up my tire pressure this time and see how it changes the handling. Hopefully it'll be a little warmer this time.

I'll be there as well. Weather looks good as of now but the weather channel never really knows.

If you're on the stock tires, I found that 36/36 front/rear when warm was pretty good.

Tried that this past weekend when running with TCUSA. Found 37-38 a bit more to my liking.

I have been doing 40-38. Not ideal but really reduces the wear on the outside edge of the tires. I'll try a little lower this time though.

Gotta get my crash bolts installed sometime soon through...

Looks sweet man. I've seen a tow hook DIY mount which I might try for next time.

The more I think about it the more sure I am that the course was probably one of the more fun ones I have run. It was seriously a blast.

When I stop being lazy I throw up the video of my best run (I gotta sort through seven haha, damn reruns)

I was just looking through the results and if Nik (the red miata) had been in RTR instead of novice he still would have gotten a trophy. He would have come in third which I think is pretty damn good. I would have ended up in sixth though which makes me want stickier tires even more haha. Cant wait for mine to burn off!
