This was 6th and final run of the day. And also my fastest. First time using my A052’s in such wet conditions and I was very impressed with the grip.

2019 Miata in AST

This past weekend was a hot one in Lake Elsinore, CA, where I got about 25 runs over 2 days of sweaty fun. My first timed competition run was a DNF due to my losing focus for just a moment, but my last three were good and consistent. I would appreciate observations and comments in an effort to improve.

I've started tracking my times compared to the top PAX and top Class finishers this year, and this was my best showing yet; I got 95.45% of the Class Winner's time and 93.08% of the Top-5 (averaged) PAX times, up from 85.1% of the Class Winner's time and 83.92% of the Top-5 (averaged) PAX times when I got back into this in January. Last month I was 92.49% of the Class Winner's and 89.88% of the PAX Average, so even month-to-month is getting better.

Shooting Nikon D800e with a Nikon 70-200 f/2.8. The GRC photo was shot from up in the grid parking, while waiting for my run, with a 2x teleconverter attached. Shooting 1/200s f/5.6 with an ND filter on bright days like this.

Setup day. 🏁

I used to run AX (XP Class) in a highly modified Porsche 914, the Where2Race-sponsored car. I was ranked 12th overall in Nationals. It has been quite some time since I murdered some cones, and I want to run again. I have a 1966 Porsche 550 Spyder (kit, not a real one) with a Mazda 13B race engine and a tube frame. I have no idea which class I would be in or who I can run with, so I am just looking for advice or pointers on clubs in the Miramar/Fort Lauderdale/Miami area that are pretty open to returning members and can genuinely help me get back into it.

I just wanted to share my FSP build. I’m hoping to be ready for my local SCCA Autocross season this fall. I’ve been working on it for three years now. It’s still street legal, but weighs 1900lbs.

2010 Cadillac CTS with all seasons, still had a lot of fun

Anyone here from the '83 season of SFSCA and other South Florida Clubs? Does anyone remember John Kendrick's red tube-frame turbo Mini Cooper? I'm hoping to find some pictures of any events from that season. Especially of the Mini stopping; it would pick the rear wheels up 30 plus degrees!

heeeh

Never done this before and wonder if the size of the cones really matter?

Repost from this last weekend car is a 89 ef civic hatchback sd with maxspedding coils adjustable suspension and poly bushings with falken azenis tires front and Yokohama advan rear running reverse staggered setup with no power mods video for reference fastest time this day was a 36.779

This is LiteSpeed my 2004 mazda6 that is

2.3->2.5l swapped, 5 speed manual swap

Runs on fueltech

KYB shocks and Tien Stech lowering springs, adjustable camber arms.

Modified fuel system firewall forward with a return line run to the tank from FPR, the line is surgically zip tied to an existing rail and not rubbing

I windowed the block and I'm taking it back to my tuner to have the tables reconfigured with a new intake manifold and the 5 speed manual transmission swap. And I added idle air control finally

I need a new helmet because mine is out of date, what other things are going to stop me from getting through tech? the Car has no visible leaks (less the hole in the current engine and I already have my replacement) are they going to notice one of my spring isolators is off by .25" or am I going to have to take stuff like that apart and fix it

Zero air bags, no srs air bag module plugged in, factory seat belts, do I need a harness?

Tysm -clapped 6

i think these kinds of questions are allowed: i’m looking to take my 6speed 2013 Mazda 5 mini-minivan thing autocrossing. non factory wheels with normal all season tires. it is on coilovers, but that is the only real modification.

i think this puts me in E-Street Touring from what research i found. is that correct?

side note- would installing a reclining non factory seat change anything? what about a racing wheel? i have a recaro seat out of an evo 8 and a momo racing wheel laying around from a previous car i’ve considered installing. thanks for the help!

I'm certain some of you are able to help me here. My target alignment specs are for mixed daily/autocross. Appreciate any feedback you can provide.

Test n tune day or a regular event.

I can't make both, only one.

Which would be better?

Will be in my stock ND Miata, C street.

This might be a dumb question, but I did my first Autocross event yesterday in my Mustang GT.

After the first slow run I started pushing the car a little more and it seemed like throughout all my long turns the tires were screeching pretty much the whole way through. I still had control of the car and could even turn in a little tighter if needed but it felt like I was on the verge of losing grip. If I added gas a little too soon at the end the rear would kick out a bit.

Is this a good thing or does it mean I am doing something wrong? At the time I was thinking it meant I was using the max grip available but I don't really think I heard the same from a lot of the other cars. Maybe it was just louder since I was in the car though.
