Cumberland autoX was a blast!
It was nice seeing Jerry, Tom, Di, Dave, Matthew, April, Ron and his gf as well as meeting a whole bunch of gearheads in the WV/MD area who just love hanging out and racing cool cars!
The course was very fast with quite a few surprises to catch inexperienced autoXers off guard: I competed in D-Stock in which they were 4 entrants on Saturday. Alan Pozner was in a '00 Intergra Type R on Kumho V710's (he's been to SCCA Nationals for 5 years straight), an Italian dude in a Ferrari shirt was in a VW R32 on r-comps, a guy in a 280ZX and myself. Pozner ran a 58.5, the VW R32 driver a 59.5, I ran a 61.9 (on street tires) and the 280Zx was in the 65+ second range. Jerry competed in Street Mod and had a few technical issues with Tom's car as the s/c belt was out of alignment with the crank pulley and kept coming off during his runs and taking out the p/s & alternator belt with it. His best was a 64.6 IIRC... A few pics from the day: Chike

Nice! Are you running the larger front swaybar now? Shame you're running 17" rims, I've got a full set of 245/45-16 VictoRacers (two of them brand new!) that I'm going to sell since I'm moving up to 275s -Bill

Cool, from the map, it does look like a fast and wide course...so those small and good handling cars can't get alot of advantages?? So did you use 2nd gear all the times(99% of the track?), if you changed strategies and used 3rd, you would probably lose a lot of seconds?

Chike, I was going to say that the course looked like you could build up some serious speed...you just beat me to it Must be the same course designer from last year -- see they had the loop toward the end again to scrub off speed, along with the hard right hander and the stop box at the end.... -Bill
