And if you sign the waiver, you can ride along with anyone at no charge (everyone will be more than happy to give you a ride along).

zzz3's modded 2.0L vs mvr's stockish 2.3L (with Dunlop Direzza Starspecs, Hawk HP+, MS3 Rear Sway Bar)
I was driving both runs and as you can see, the power made no difference. If zzz3 was running better tires, it would be 0.5-1 seconds faster!

dat deception!
i have no engine mods (axle back exhaust doesn't count) aside from a tranny cooler and suspension mods (springs, dampers, racing beat rear sway bar). and oh stoptech pads (better than hps) but they are no where close to hp+.
i drove your car, it has a lot more torque which is immediately noticeable out of the corners. it can also stop a lot faster too.
we'll swap again next time :chuckle, i want to try inflating the rear tires up even higher on my car...

i want to come but its expensive and i am a bit apprehensive about open lapping having never gone to a track school/seminar or having any prior experience. i wouldn't mind time attack (next year sigma for sure) though.

Your suspension mods are what negated the power difference between my car and yours. When I was cornering with your car, I could go much faster than my own. Too bad its not a manual :( The 2.0L doesnt like to shift into 1st gear like the 2.3L does. Get better tires after you're done with your current ones and you'll be faster for sure :D

Yep. Big event at TLMC this Sunday.
I believe it will cost more than the usual $30 since its a Mobil 1 CASC regional event. Somewhere around $70 if I remember correctly.
The third event in the CASC-OR Autoslalom Provincial Tour is this Sunday at the Barrie Molson Centre. This event will also count toward the TLMC championship.
Registration opens at 8:00, closes at 9:00.
Driver meeting at 9:15 and first car shortly after.
Marshaling duties are to be completed IMMEDIATELY after EACH run.
Cost structure:
- $20 for TLMC members
- $30 for non-TLMC members
TLMC membership is only $25...so you'll save that back in three events. Please print and fill out THIS FORM (http://www.twinlakesmc.org/2012_Membership_Application.pdf) before the event. This will help registration move a little quicker.
Also, if you are not registered in the CASC-OR series (i.e. competing in the TLMC series only), please fill out THIS FORM. (http://www.casc.on.ca/sites/default/files/2012_autoslalom_reg.pdf)
Helmets are required and must be Snell M2000/SA2000 approved or newer.
We are running SCCA classing. Please look at the SCCA rulebook HERE (starting at page 71) (http://www.scca.com/assets/2012_Solo_Rules_March.pdf) to class your car. If you need help classing your car, see THIS THREAD (http://www.casc.on.ca/forums/showthread.php?t=24390).

its $30. but hey it's ultimately up to you how you spend your time :)
i think auto-x is a great way to learn car control and develop skill on the cheap (patience is required). a segue of sorts to time attack and onward to tracking/lapping etc.
thanu31
06-19-2012, 11:03 AM
in my opinion, i find autox not worth it. Sure maybe its great to develop your skils, but your paying $30-40 a session, which gets you, lets say 10 runs if your lucky. 10 x 1min = 10 mins of drive time. the rest of the hours, are sitting in passenger or spectating.
Track, say open lap days = $80-130, depending on the date you go, you get 5 full hours of track. You can go at your own pace, especially on an open lapping day, where you have plenty of space and time to develop your skills.
So when you say its cheaper, i don't necessarily agree.
If its an open lapping session, I dont think you will run 5 full hours. That is not realistic. You might get through 20-30 mins every hour. It would be nice of the track is open. But it isnt. You get slowed down by other cars which ruins your lap. There is nothing more frustarting that sitting behind a car that wont let you pass lap after lap after lap.
Yes, in terms of seat time open lapping is best. But open lapping is like a sunday drive. In auto-x or even time attack, its the competition that pushes you harder and harder. They force you to learn how to drive. You wont learn anything by going around by yourself.
Yep. Big event at TLMC this Sunday.
I believe it will cost more than the usual $30 since its a Mobil 1 CASC regional event. Somewhere around $70 if I remember correctly.
tlmc events never cost that much. the only exception may be the canadian nationals, which they will hold in august.
I wouldn't last more than half an hour at a track day before my brake fades or the fluid boils. It won't be till next year before I do my brakes.
Depends what you define as "fun"...
I like the competition aspect of AutoX even though you dont get as much seat time.
On the other hand I like the speed and tracktime aspect of open lapping.

ahaha, that is what happened the first 10 hard laps i did at touge. came off the track, smoke coming from the front wheel wells and engine. thought the car was on fire lolz. rotors turned a light shade of burnt blue.
but i disagree with azi. even if u get 20-30 mins every hour for lapping, that one hour is equal to or more of the total laps/time in a car than at an autox event. dealing with other drivers while on the track is part of open lapping, its not really a huge issue. plus i like seeing where I have to go, and not guess through a sea of orange cones...
ahaha, that is what happened the first 10 hard laps i did at touge. came off the track, smoke coming from the front wheel wells and engine. thought the car was on fire lolz. rotors turned a light shade of burnt blue.
haha i would have shat bricks.
sourcing ss lines and dot4 fluid (ford) isn't hard, it's the oem speed3 calipers and mz5 rears (for cheap). biggest regret was not asking breakfasteatre for his calipers when he wrote his speed off; asked him instead if he had a cai pre-filter lol <self-facepalm>

speed3/mz5 calipers are not necessary for tracking.
Main thing u need is, brake fluid, and oem brakes work just fine, but for better results, upgraded pads. thats all.

just remember that autocrossers can excel at lapping/time attack, but lapping guys are anonymous at autocross
SKYMP3
06-20-2012, 12:21 PM
^
But autocrossers usually drive a slower car, hehehe (jk, no offense)
I prefer Lapping as well as there are more driving time, fun time. The waiting time is only just to rest the engine and the brake to let it cool down. If you car is capable, you can run as many laps as you want.

As I was marshalling, your team of 3's look really good out there in this tight lot. Especially that left-right-left through the double gates before that small section before the the laps' first encounter with the "skid-pad" area.

Oh boy was it ever. My craft is still very dated, but the configuration was one of the most technical I've driven. Lots of different lines for quite a few spots, and felt SO good to finally put down a clean (took a while as always to remember the course) and 'satisfying' run.

Are you guys going Saturday or just Sunday or both days? I don't think I can make it to barrie as I may have to give my bro a ride to work. Will stick to just PITL.

I think someone requested a copy from Rogers. In the mean time I will pvr it but I don't know how to get it from the Rogers box to the computer.
Was fun but lost my 1.5 year winning streak :(
Had 2 bad runs in before the rain, 1 okay rain run and 2 bad rain runs. When it dried up for the last run, I tried too hard and knocked over some cones.
Gotta fine tune those Koni's I just got. Settings are too hard in the front causing a lot of oversteer. A new alignment made the car a little unfamiliar to drive as well. Ahhh well! Tomorrow I'm going to the HADA event in the Powerade Center instead of Barrie.

probably less with the alignment than the shocks. i remember someone getting new konis and they had to dial them in just right to get the right comfort. then he took it to the track and had to mess with them again. my alignments are off and its not just from the lowering i did half a year ago...
I didnt do well at HADA either...BAH.
I went full soft in the front, it helped a bit...but theres still too much grip in the rear even at max tire pressure. I might consider adjusting the rear shocks to 100% stiffness...but hmm I dunno...I'm a noob at this suspension tuning business.
I dont know if I'd want that setup on the street though....full soft in the front was weird when I was coming to the lights. Seesaw action happening.

im on the boarder line of not coming. apparently we getting like 22mm of rain. and not sure if there might be a lot of people going. how was it last time when it was raining?
Im up right now and debating the same thing. And I have to run errands at noon so I would miss a run or two for sure.
Last time we had a lot of people to begin with since it didn't rain till noon. Most stuck it out till the end of the day when it stopped again. But I definitely had fun since it was a unique experience. But I don't think I would do it again since I got soaked pretty bad although it was my fault for not being prepared (no jacket, umbrella or tarp to cover things).
