Too excited...
I know, I know - I've told everybody a thousand times that I'm doing my first autocross this weekend, but I thought I'd share my excitement with everybody again! :D
Two coworkers, veteran autocrossers, will be bringing their cars - an ESP WRX and (I think) an STS Eclipse GS-T. And I talked another friend (and coworker) into bringing his Impulse RS. Woohoo! I have had fleeting thoughts about bringing both the SVX and Justy and driving both in the autocross, but that's nonsense. I couldn't do that to my SVX. The Justy's in my garage right now, waiting for me to come home and prep it. And by 'prep' I mean remove all the garbage filling the back of the car. :p I already gave it a once-over while it was up on stands a few weeks ago - everything was ready to go! I wanted to take it to a muffler shop and have them replace the muffler with a piece of pipe. The muffler has a hge hole in the bottom, so it's not doing anything anyway. Not like the car would be any louder. :p I didn't get around to it. I also wanted to have it aligned. Ah, well. |
Speaking of autocross, here's a photo someone took of me at my last auto-x:
Warning, 2.30MB (It's also my background) Hope you have fun! |
Nice photo - but, believe it or not, I was hoping to see the Justy. :D
Why do you only have a number written on the car? I usually see the car's class after the number. |
Nobody puts their class on the car. That's all taken care of ahead of time. (registration)
The SVX is in G-Stock. Not sure what class the Justy is in. |
I wanted to see the Justy also!!!!!!!!! When did Canada get thier independence from the U.K.? I always wondered why they drive like us in Canada, but they drive backwards in Australia. They were both former colonies.

Hey, so I survived my first day. So did the Justy. I'll fill everybody in on Monday after I'm done with day two! WOOHOO! |
take some pics! good luck and have fun - think of how cool it will be to tell people that they just got smoked by a Justy! :cool:
|
I hopefully got a few pictures today. I can't say for sure whether or not any of them will turn out.
The weather was dreadful - 30s, windy and raining all day. |
Okay, so both the Justy and I survived our first weekend of autocrossing. I'm very proud of my results - yesterday I came in 4th out of 6 in a combined H-stock novice and G-stock novice field, being beaten by only the G-stock novice drivers.
After my last official run yesterday, I thought that I really could not make the Justy go around that course any faster. Then I rode in another veteran driver's Eclipse for a fun run. That one run taught me a lot. I guess I just needed to be taught just how far a car could be pushed. He rode in my car immediately after, and I took 2.6 seconds off my best official run. Anyway, the Justy is, indeed, competitive. :D I need to knock off a few seconds, but I know I can make up some of the deficit with some decent tires. |
