SCCA Autocross #6, Dallas Raceway, 8/12/12

I think Jimmy Jan forgot to update his signature to 20 mph

LOL true, or in my case 10 mph. I really liked the surface and the site was nice. Good to see some faces I haven't seen in quite some time. I had a good time trying to navigate the cruise ship through the tight course.

[CosmosMpower]

Once again, my 100 HP wonder beat a GT-R. Makes me feel kind of special.

Let me set up a course at MW with no slaloms/offsets with say 3 120 mph straights and we'll have a rematch

OK with me. I think you will lift.

Nice venue!
But what was up with the 174 cone slalom near the end followed up with he gates of doom??

'Tupid Jimmie!

+1

Nah, that is only reserved for M3 drivers

[BMcCann]

This was my face when I got to the 174 cone slalom as well!

[Robert]

Great new site!

I really liked the course, I even liked the 174 cone slalom. Any tighter and I would have not liked it. An autocross course should have a hard section. This course was all reward, no pain except the solemn.

It’s nice to have the pain section in the middle with a reward section at the end, so people come off the course happy, and they forget about the pain in the middle.

I really enjoyed running my crapcan on the new site. I think it will become the #1 site in DFW if treated right.

I'm thinkin this is the look of a guy who just came to the realization that he may soon become the tire warmer for his wife. Mrs. JimmyJan (and Mrs. SteveE) both laid down smokin final runs! Great job ladies

edit: or perhaps he just realized he did not get his free boul of soup when he bought the hat..

Oh come on!

You work for the man so this is just pro Tupid Jimmie propaganda!

Was this the civic 317/17? We were working the slalom section and cracking up. Holy bodyroll batman!! Look like a fun ride nevertheless.

[revs]

Here's my best run. Besides getting dehydrated, it was a fun day.



Here are two of Dave's runs in his STS CRX

No wonder I did not see you! I was looking for your NC or Stalker.

So many cars, so little time! It really can be fun driving a POS car (not your car Mick), where you really have to push it to even be marginally competitive. Kevin and I had more fun that anyone I think. Our expectaions were low as were our finishes in STS. We left with a though

[ken o]

Nah, that is only reserved for M3 drivers

That's a ditch, not a lift. Oy vey.

Yep, skirted again this year. Sharon is really starting to get up on the wheel. Guess I should stop driving and start towing......

"A man has got to know his limitations"- Clint Eastwood

Pretty much sums it up there Steve!

I did want to say it was a fun event and worth the drive to compete against everyone on a great site! Just turn the heat down and open the slalom up!!! BTW, Stroh posted some of our runs at www.oversteergarage.com including my spin because the friend he is?!

[Webspoke]

great to see our friends from CS and Austin join us (and put on a show). I am curious to see sound readings as we were trying a new muffler/exhaust combination.

[mwortham]

Hi Stan. I just sent the scan of the sound logs over to Kenny to post on the website. He usually posts it pretty quickly, but if you want me to send the file over to you now pm me with your email address.

Sound Readings (pdf)

The best part of my video was when my car was at the start line behind TurboToddie. It sounded like I had a V8.
It sure did not go like a V8. Well done Todd. I don't know how you got your steam rollers through that slalom.
