High Speed Auto-X in Upstate NY

[DeLorean]

This was great fun :) I would have run a 58 if not for mowing down so many cones I nearly failed tech due to my tires (the RH side was down to the cords)... they allowed me to run, but I had to swap tires side to side so the higher loaded ones (the ones with tread) were on the outside of the track. The car was nice and flat, and pretty fast in the straights, but corners get it plowing good and lighting up the unloaded wheel every time.

So I had some pretty piss poor times with the cone crushing penalty... But I still had fun! Maybe next time I'll come with good tires.

Its pretty funny that Jordan beat you in your own car the first time driving it!

I'll try to make it out for one of those autoXes if its worth it.

I seem to remember beating you in your own car at one event. In fact It seems to be pretty common that the non owner drivers beat the driver.

Yup, turns out that Jordan's a "natural"..... at least on pavement. I did manage to hold him off Sunday on the dirt. Good thing too or else I would have had to hurt'em real bad. Maybe I'll just refer to him as "dirty little bastard" for a while.

That's his ice race suspension... the rear is SUPER soft

oh, so he's probably only doing 5mph there

I don't even think he was actually moving... he was just driving alone.
