Whos all going to the autocross event on Sept. 10th at North Park? ya know we cant let those damn WRX kick our ass...

 

Well, depending on what class we're talking about.....lol

Yes... as it stands today... I WILL be there as the lone D-stock rep for the Cobalts.

I am going to a car show near IUP the day/night before, so depending on how that goes, and the weather... I will be there.

Last time @ NP, there was 4 cars in D-stock... me, 1 srt, and 2 WRXs. Guess who placed 4th ( thought it WAS my 1st Auto-x ever )??

The STX class is chalked full of GOOD drivers that run some nice wrx's as well.

If Alicia comes for that day, she'll be running against them.

Oh well..... still weeks off... SCR event #7 this weekend @ BeaverRun.

Need to get more points!

 

ill be running DS on the 10th... or maybe AS... havent decided yet... i just hope its nice out

 

well i hope it doesnt rain on sunday.... i dont think i will be racing unless someone wants a co-driver...

 

I want to come out to an autocross event...I have yet to attend one and do not know much about it. Is there somewhere I can get info on Autocross, and this event in particular( times, location, cost, ect...) ?

 

yepp... go to nhscc.com... come out next sunday.... the 10th

 

If you have any questions about Auto-x... here's some links...

www.nhscc.com

www.scca.org ( just look for "solo" )

www.racepa.com ( local forums for us auto-x, drag, drift, etc... in the PA area )

THere are tons of people out there that are willing to help and share info... just say "hey, I'm new to this" and you'll get help..

Come out and check it out. If you come to the SCR event on 10/8 you could ride along with someone. NHSCC won't let you unless you're a registered driver.

I'll be at the event rain or shine. I don't care about the weather.

Come on BJ, run in DS with me.... the rain aint that bad .....I need help!

 

i would run by i need tires... no tread left on mine... so it better be sunny

 

I would go to at least watch but I think I might be under Wes' tranny around that time.

 

Ahh... forgot about that one BJ... good point.

Well... speaking of which...

My buddy Thom Miller of Spun Autosports has notified me that he now is going to carry Khumo, Falken and Cooper tires. The place he's carrying them thru is a local burgh place and that mean NO SHIPPING charges on them as long as they aren't needed to be orderd.

If anyone is looking for them... Like ECSTAS, Or AZENIS and such, contect him and tell him you're one of Brian's Cobalt bud's, and he might be ablet o drop a buck or two extra off... I can't garuntee it, you never know.. he's trying to drum up extra biz...

Not sure how much but he's told me that if he starts getting Cobalt inquiries, he'd be open to starting to carry stuff for our cars.

Also, if you guys come to NP... he'll be running his WRX in Street Mod, so I can introduce ya to him ( for those that don't know him yet )

OK.... back on topic

 

Thanks for the info...not sure if I am going yet or not. Probably go to the flashlight drags Saturday, car show in Greensburg Monday...why not do something Sunday!

 

Yeah, Thom is a good guy and is always looking to help.

He's been talking to alot of different wheel companies on my behalf to find ones that are making or are willing to start making wheels that fit the Cobalts. Rota has said that if he gets 10K in orders for the wheels, they will make them.

His tires aren't listed as of yet on the site, but if you contact him, he can give you a price and such.

I'll be there for sure. Personally, I enjoy the SCR events since you have some downtime there and you can watch a bit more of the other classes, but I like them both.

 

i hate working the damn course.... hmm i def dont mind teching or setting up in the am... ill see if i can do that sunday since im on call... yeah i def. need new tires... im thinkin about the Nero... i wish i had the extra money to get an extra set or rims... that would make life easier... so in the summer i can run some Kumhos victoracers(old school, but loved em) ...

 

whos goin to beat the **** out of their cobalt on sunday?

 

Looks like it's just me

Supposed to be nice weather. Going to have a fun day.

 

brian, ill be there as long as it doesnt rain....

 

I'd go... but I have a $106.50 fine to pay from last weekend. Kinda cuts into my fun budget for the week. I'm up for it after this week though... I wouldn't mind getting another auto-x in this season.

 

Fun tax! I've paid wayyyyyyyy too much in fun taxes the past couple years....

 

Welll....just becuase you don't run... don't mean you can't come out and support.

How many of us come out to watch the drag racing even when we're not running...

Just a thought.

I'll who I see out there.

I'm beating the snot out of the SS this weekend. I want to get some good runs.. in nice weather for once... the past 2 Auto-x's have been WET runs.

 

LOL, well I had briefly considered running, but I've changed my mind. Other plans came up. My friends Jen, Shannon, Robin, Bridgette, and I are thinking of going on a road trip to Cananada tomorrow and Monday...and possibly part of Tuesday, LOL. Why? Cause we can, we're all bored and need something to do and it's been a while since we caused trouble together.

I'll try and stop by on my way to Ambridge though and hang out for a little bit, hopefully I can see you guys run once or twice. We can't go anywhere till Bridgette and Robin get off work anyways.

On that note, does anyone know if you can still cross the boarder with just a birth certificate and photo ID or is a passport required now? I know they were going to change it, but I didn't know when it took effect.

 

and where the hell were you today? you shoulda came along to cheer brian and i on... haha r u coming next week?

 

BJ...

Good to see you made it and hope you had fun. I know I did. GREAT F-n job today... 3rd place I think you made. Not bad for the 1st time in that car adn on those tires... at least we both kept close to the times of the WRX guys.

Hope we get a nice course next week as well. This one was a BLAST.

Had a great car weekend, between Indiana and those freaks ( I mean that in the BEST way ) @ Slowboy racing.. those guys are great. Had a great tiem with them last night, and then today was a good day even if I placed lst in D-stock.

Anyway... so tired and sore... must rest.

 

thanks man... same too you... and no you didnt finish last... im pretty sure you got the WRX... number 38....

 

HMmmm...Have to wait and see when the NHSCC posts the results later....

 

brian i will def. be there next sunday... rain or shine... haha if it rains, it'll be just like driving on ice...
