hey man sorry we didnt get to meet. I did meet deb and dave though. My friend and I got really crap times though haha

 

yea, my phone died around 2:00 shortly after i called deb, and that's the last i heard from anyone.

i got to briefly meet a few peeps, but that's about it. and my times sucked too! i got like a 38 score was 310

 

Damn, so thats what happened? I did the rules and then hit the go karts, when I went over to find you, you were gone. Bummer.

I put up all right times. 35.026 for the first run. second run was 35.280 but that was with a 1 cone penalty.

 

I got a 37 point something with a 1 cone penalty.

What was with all the people driving with the A/C on....lol

Nice to meet some new faces and see some old ones. Kev, I tried calling you before we left but I see you said your cell died. No big deal....hope everyone had as god as a time as I did

 

yea, i did my runs, did a couple other driving things tried the vette and did the practice AFTER my runs like an idiot wanted to do the traction reaction but the line was too long and i wasn't about to wait half an hour to drive a malibu or whatever they had

 

Getting there at 9 made all the difference. We hit that traction/reaction thing about 6 times. My best trailblazer run was 4.9.

I also liked the fact that the test drive lines were so short. My friend and I drove all the vehicles 2 or 3 times and kept jumping in the lines where no one was.

Fun times. Definitely going back next year. Maybe we should make a cruise out of it?

 

yea, i walked through but couldn't find anyone... i know you of course, met orngbalt for like 3 minutes but didn't meet anyone else so i didn't even know who i was looking for at that point.

so i was walking past the camaro tent, and some lady says to her boyfriend "OOOHHHH, i wanna take a picture of that mustang" all excited. everyone within hearing distance dropped what they were doing to see who said that, it was like something out of a movie her bf was like "camaro, say camaro"

 

lmao. guess yall had a good time

 

It was def agood time. I don't know about the asses doing the course with the AC on. I cranked the heat and watched the coolant temp drop 20* in the 2 minutes I was staged. Reaction traction was a good time. I did the impala and put up a 4.757, top time when i left was 4.65 I used the brake launch technique and put power down immediately. my litte brother did the same and I am almost positive he had a better time than me, but he forgot about the part when you pick up the time.

Was definitely a good time all around, especially looking at some of the crazy cobalts there, the camaro, and the 2.0 turbo they had on display.

 

The ride home was sooooooooooo dissappointing. I went from driving the vettes, the impala SS, and even jus the 2.4 cobalts to driving my 2.2 with both my brothers in it (ask Dust.... they are not small) and with the AC on. I was practically crying. Time to make mine faster and handle better.

Side note.... any of you know what exhaust they were running on them 2.4's I know it was one of GMPP's I think it was the sport.

 

not sure what exhaust was on it but it sounded good.

 

So I take it no one won, lol...

 

yea, the exhausts did sounds pretty good. and about the guys with the ac, yea i don't now about that. first thing i did was shut the windows and the sun roof which was wide open

 

haha, I left the windows open, figured it wouldn't be that severe (guessing I'm right since my times were better than yours j/k) But I did crank the heat. I just shot them an email to ask what they did since they also stated they changed some things for handling. Guess I had my head on racing and I took a ramp on the GSP just a little too fast for my 2.2

 

what were yalls times?

 

1st run: 35.026 + 0 cones = 35.026
2nd run: 33.285 + 1 cone = 35.285

Not bad for someone who never autocrossed before. The cone I hit was at the end of the bus stop.

 

dang. i got a 34.056 and a 32.564. this was in houston texas

i never autoxd before either.

 

what was your pro index? ours was 29.285

 

i am pissed got all 4 wisdom teeth out friday

couldnt make this ****

****!

 

i think it was about the same

 

So since none of us really got to hang out together at this event, how bout' we have a meet?


Someone else has to organize it though, cuz' I quit...lol

 

i would be down for that, without the organizing part!!

 

I think you just volunteered.

 

Hah, I used to do it ALL the time. Every month to be exact, but when 25 people sign up to go and only 6 show, I start to get a little pissed off.....lol

What would be a central location for everyone?

 

well as long as it is on a weekend it gives me an excuse to go home to LI. so that puts me right near you two.
