2015 Calls outs/Who do you want to race.

@jay_g and @FourEyed still want to run the wheelers. I have heavy tires now, mines slow.

I’ll come out. Did a few way back in my day when you were just a twinkle in your moms eye. Car might not be set up for it but should be a good time. Shoot me a message sometime.

@KuntryQuestTSi I can leave the plow on if you want. You’ll blow me away anyway.

Fixed

As many boosts before rods bend and C12. No need to front haha

:wave:

I’m getting ready for this season…:snky:

^about time Jay put that paperweight to use.

Me too!

(Sorry, couldn’t rresist :slight_smile: )

I am always down for a run

:ugh:

Seriously

:bigtup:

Looking to get deeper into the 12s this year. It would be fun to have a pre-planned dragstrip day where lots of nyspeeders attend

Whatup girl

I definitely want start doing stuff from a dig. Much more fun than just standing on it from 40 and letting the cars figure it out

It’s not a joke. It happens every year. Someone delusionally says they’re god’s gift to driving because they drifted Mom’s Camry around a corner once, shows up with a heavily modified car, then gets their ass kicked by some kid who’s been driving a few years in a mostly stock economy car.

I’m not wrong in assuming 99% of the people posting on this forum think they’re good drivers. I challenge everyone to PROVE it.

Last year I offered my personal car to anyone and said I would come out and declare them to be a better driver than me if they could beat me in my car. No barriers - just show up and abuse my car. This year I’m issuing a similar challenge - show up in your car, beat the hell out of me (160 whp stock RX-8 on street tires), and I will come on the forum and proclaim your awesomeness.

I will also buy you an energy drink of your choice just for showing up.

The standard nationally competitive Street Modified cars are putting down 500+ whp and weigh around 2,000 lbs.

Several of the C-Prepared/Classic American Muscle cars are putting down 700+ whp.

It’s always a good time. The detractors are generally autistic antisocial rejects who stay in their car between runs. Yes, you stand around a lot but you do that at a car show too.

Autocross is a car show where you also just happen to get to drive your car like a maniac.

i’ve run autoX once before and the way it was set up seemed better for smaller, low powered cars like a well set up Mini or maybe a NA KA 240.

i guess it depends on the lay out.

Annual drDos race lol

I have done autocross in a Lambo…its pretty meh. Driving around cones in a parking lot is just less than a thrill for me especially in a higher hp car.

But I just cannot get behind someone claiming that they are an exceptional driver because they can navigate some home brewed course in a parking lot.

But the whole point is to enjoy your car any way that you like. Roll racing…Drag Racing…AutoCross…Track Days are all good in their own respects.

I’m pretty sure ever year since UBRF someone has done this

“OMG GUYS AUTOX IS THE GREATEST IF YOU DON’T AUTOX FUCK YOU YOU CAN’T DRIVE”

@cretinx there have been other passionate defenders of Auto-X here in the past. In fact most of us older guys did a LOT of Auto-X back in the day (2001+) but generally grew tired of it so we started to go to Dunnville & TMP instead. It cost a bit more but seat time was measured in hours not minutes. I used to Auto-X at almost every event but now personally I’d rather do a Wednesday or Friday night at TMP. @bing and I go during the week in the summer, you should join us.

I think you’d be surprised, but no one needs to prove anything.

I made this video 5 years ago at the peak of when most of the active members here would go to the track. I guess I just assume most people here have seen it:

Yep.

I’ve done AutoX - It’s fun.
Maybe I’ll take the nova to one and ham fist it into some cones.
@cretinx I think most have gotten past the point of the point of drifting our mom’s camry but I’d gladly take you up on the offer of a free energy drink if I manage to make it out this year.

This thread needs Jesus.
