Sept 21st Autocross results!

[P71]

I went to the PCA AutoX yesterday and met Josh there as usual (candy-cane LS1 FC RX-7). It was supposed to be our (non-Porsche) turn to go second, but with the "track" being wet all the Porsche guys whined that we should dry it up for them. After some commotion, a coin was flipped, and non-Porsche's lost, so we got the wet/damp track and they got the damp/dry track. Even with that disadvantage we made a good showing!

Josh got 3rd in class (Podium!!!) with a 41.898, just behind an MR-S on slicks (SP classed, modded out, nice car) and the perennial pain in everybody's butt, the huge turbo'd Miata (SM2 car with full mods on slicks, HOT car and very fast driver). Josh's time was also good for 9th Overall (out of 58 drivers) but that sounds worse then reality, as he was only beat by 5 cars (the aforementioned MR-S and Miata, plus an E-Mod 914 race car, a 944 Turbo race car, and a new freaking GT3! All of the Porsche's were trailered).

I didn't do too shabby either with the 231000 mile all-original 12A FB. I got 10th in class (out of 22) and 41st Overall (out of 58 drivers). Got a little recap below.

So all in all, not bad for the little 7. We've got one more SCCA Auto-X (in Packwood) and one more PCA one (at PIR), then the season's over. I picked up a RB header, so it might be nice to actually have a single mod on the car! Remember, I still have EVERYTHING (air pump, A/C, smog/emissions equipment, rat's nest, mechanical fan, etc, etc) stock!

every event only worsens my lust for v710s

[P71]

Doooooo it!

We still going to try and hit up Woodburn this weekend and Packwood next one?

[josh18_2k]

eh TBD. i'm sure it'll be down to the wire before i know for sure
the GF is making me go to greek fest, so hopefully we can get that out of the way friday afternoon (oct 3rd), and then i can head up early sat morning.
as for drag, i'm just slightly nervous- im always imagining my diff exploding.

[P71]

Well, looks like if I go drag racing, it will be Saturday only.

And your tires aren't anywhere sticky enough to make the diff go boom.

For Packwood, I'm driving up Friday night and staying all weekend.
