Thanks to Sunriders for putting on a top notch event as always. :)


Oh, and for those of you who were stuck picking up my slew of conage... I'm sorry.

[BeQuietAndDrive]

did it beat my 8?

[Leonard]

did it beat my 8?


Not in a single run, but I had most everyone on the course working at some point. (And it was a lot of cones for me.)

[flmcoupe]

You weren't as bad as that jerk who was drfiting! If it was my corner I would've red-flagged his a$$! He had those poor guys running all over the place on every single run!

Anywho, it was a nice event, good to see everyone! I liked the course too, let's see some more like that! Thanks Sunriders!

[BeQuietAndDrive]

Are you referring to Chris, in the green Miata? He wasn't intentionally doing that. I spoke to him. He was just pushing his car too hard, I guess.

So, I really,really need better tires and quite a few other things too.

Well I hope everybody had a good time. Results made it online yesterday at:

Cool! Me neither. Loren has the Endurocross in the planning stages.

[Chriskory]

well....
it was intended on the last run, which is out of line i suppose
but it felt good

[LeroyDriver]

Nah, a red flag doesn't automatically mean a rerun. If the car in front of you is the one wiping out the course and disrupts YOUR run and you get red flagged for it, then you get a rerun. If you get red flagged because the course workers deem your vehicle or your driving as unsafe, you're just out a run.

[Boxy Rocket]

Well actually not always. The car that is the reason for a red flag condition would not necessarily get a re-run for it. Anybody that screwed up a run could go cause a red flag condition to get a free do over if you allowed a rerun for the offending car.

And another trick people have tried is stopping for their own downed cones, especially on a track like this one where you drive it twice. I've seen people knock down a cone on the first lap, stop for it on the second lap and argue with the corner worker they should get a rerun. Some people are so competitive ....

[flmcoupe]

After working the course during your drifting runs and having to run over to the other station to help clean up the mess you made (more than once!) so that the other drivers in line won't have to wait longer for their chance, my red flag would've been good for the rest of the event! Sorry, nothing against you, but I'm not happy with drifters at autox events. I'm not in charge so there's nothing I can do.

Here's how I see it: I don't like all the extra work the poor workers have to do, the extra time the course is not green and the other drivers having to wait for their runs, the tire marks left at the site, and the danger of losing total control and hitting someone or something. You want to drift put on a drift event. The purpose of autox is to improve your driving skills in a controlled environment, not to show off your sliding skills! I like the art of drifting and I think drifters are very talented, I suck at it, but please, not at an autox event!

ok, enough of this, it was still a great event! So, who's got pics???

It's completely out of line. It's disrespectful to the course workers who have to clean up after you. It's disrespectful to the person behind you who's focused on making a good run.

It even costs the person behind you money (in tires and brakes) for that half a run that they do get. You might argue that that doesn't add up to all that much, but honestly, if you check out what hoosier wants for a set of tires in my size (275/40/17 -- $243 each) it can add up to a lot of cheddar. If you figure 40 passes for a set of tires, I'd be paying about $27 a lap after you add in shipping and mounting/balancing.

[Loren]

Alright, guys. Chris is a good kid, I think he gets the point. He'll probably never hit another cone again.

[Charles]

On a side note :) , what model is the new tire from Hankook you were running Loren ?

[Nole99]

Man...I miss running out there with you guys! I have to get out there soon! I hope I get a break from school over ther summer. :sadwave:

Where'd you find them?
I can't seem to find a set of decent tires in stock anywhere online.
