Yes, you help me find speed that I can't find myself...
The massive weight of your ego throws the car way off balance.

And you STILL can't drive my car fast.

I can't drive MY car fast either...

you tell me I am slow like I don't already know it!!!
Like we discovered already, I am a better instructor than I am a driver... at least in autocross.
Maybe once I start Solo 1 I'll find my groove.

Are you threatening us?

I was working the course at station 2 during all your runs at the May 11th practice and the June 16th event.

May 11th, you looked kind of sloppy, but drifting thru the 180 turn around looked nice.

June 16th you looked very good. Are you sure you weren't going for time on your last run? 40.5 + 1 cone sounds pretty good. My best time was 40.9 with no cones.

Why are you still running in NOVICE if you have been auto-xing for a year?

I would love a ride with you, I have never experienced a good drift. I assume the course is going to have the same hairpin as last time, which doesn't look nearly as fun as the wide 180 we had on May 11th.

No, but you drive my car exceptionally slow...

FYI, I don't think you'll be referring to it as the torqueless wonder any longer....

I installed a passenger seat on my car now. So if you want you can ride my car, nut for some reason i can't drive well if someone ride with me.

What class i should run? I got 3 lowering springs and 1 cut spring(left front) + upgrade shock for the rear and stock shock on the front. Also my diff is crying.

I have a advan 038 for the front and avs for the back. that's why it does oversteer. I want another pair of 038 for the back, but it's good for now. i want to practice more on this setting. end of this year or next year will have 038 on the back.

The FD will be out for next fast set up auto-x. It's too big and powerful for me to run at FSF.

I'm wondering if SCCA allow you to drift in auto-x. I don't usually drift it on my purpose. We can go for drifting with my 86 sometime.

You can drift all you want at the SCCA auto-x. Just be nice to the course workers and don't knock a lot of cones in the process.

The PCA course usually has a ~50" radius 90 degree turn (a low traction turn I must add) that allowed me to do some serious drifting with the porsche last week. Not something I would usually do with a tail heavy car but the big fast turns made it fun and easy.

The PCA events are also $20 as compared to the SCCA's $30 fee for non-members.
