Noel's CR just has a front sway and 255's all the way around. Finished second to Chris Lin yesterday by .1.

 

Mercedes was great with ~50+ second runs (6) and we finished at 3PM. Tight competition for FTD between an FS Cobra, a BS Porsche Caman, an STR Miata and an STR S2000.

 

Excellent

My plan for the S2k was front sway + STR wheels/tires and have fun for a while. Hold off on a full suspension until fall or next spring even.

 

The correct sentence is;
Noel in a CR is fast!

 

....and getting faster every time he gets behind the wheel of it, too.

 

Looking forward to this weekend. For Saturday, will be on OEM wheels 7" front 8.5" rear, and 255 Yokohama AD08s I pulled off the Z4. Sunday will be back to the STR wheels.

For Saturday, I'm a little concerned about the fronts being pinched, but it should be fun, even if a little squishy!!! Since the C/R will be a B-Stock car, Saturday will be a great opportunity to compare to others without having to buy A6's yet.

The C/R is amazing in stock form with a sway bar!!! It's so awesome that I don't have to fiddle with things -- and no excuses or doubts about my performance -- slow = drive better; fast = good job / get faster.

 

When you buy A6's....talk to Brian K. He is very inexpensive.

 

........big tires (the new ones are HUGE!) + soft suspension (shocks are being rebuilt at the moment) = big time body roll.

 

Can I borrow two magnetic 2's for the Street Tire Challenge this weekend.....maybe two 1's as well? Help a man out .

 

Next CDC Autocross SATurday July 23rd

Hylton HS in Woodbrdge, VA is the location of the next Capital Driving Club autocross on SATURDAY July 23rd. We will have the football stadium bathrooms open. So you be able to use real bathrooms with running water.
Registration and tech inspection will be at 8:00 am and will promptly close at 8:45 am to try to accommodate the full field, while still giving 6 runs. You must be DONE by 8:45 am. So if you arrive at 8:00 am you won't have a problem. Don't arrive at the last minute.

Due to increases in costs from last year, the event fee for the Saturday autocross is $30 for members and $40 for non-members.

New Bar Codes

Make sure you download the new bar codes for 2011 (some of the early barcodes in early 2010 won't work. So if you want to use last year's barcodes, make sure it is the same format as the new barcodes).

We have a new index for lightweight cars (under 1500 pounds) and the bar codes are now different for small bore cars from the early barcodes. The early bar codes from 2010 just won't work. If you have a car weighing under 1500 pounds, we are in the process of updating it (we can also print it out at the event in this case).

So to be on the safe side, print out new barcodes that can be found on the web forum under autocross section. You have to register on the forum to open the attachments.

If you have problems, you can e-mail me at capitaldriving@yahoo.com or we can also print barcodes for you at the event.
