Default For Liggy

I was at the PCA novice day today and one of the other instructors (with a GT3) was talking about how he'd like to have an S2000. Pretty amusing, I thought.

I wasn't quick enough to offer a trade.

What were you instructing? I was on the other side of the facility at the PCA autocross.

I was thinking that it was about time to join the PCA and do the auto-x today but I had something I had committed to months ago today.

In any event - I still haven't figured out how to drive this freakin' car yet. Really pushes on a slow course. I think the car is better suited to Bremerton or probably lapping days as right now it seems really camber limited.

Until I can get my trail braking to a passable level I foresee grinding understeer in it's future.

Yeah, I was instructing at the novice school. It was "family day" so about 2/3 of the students were under 18. A real mix from a kid who is going to get a SOVREN racing license next year and probably should have no troubles to kids who were really new to the whole driving thing.

Whoa, wait, what's the new car?

Yesterday reminded me why I autocross with the PCA so infrequently. Because they only have one session instead of morning and afternoon sessions, I was on site for six hours before I got to run, and that was after I arrived late. Also, the course working is lackadaisical at best -- workers sitting on course, red flagging cars for no reason other than a single cone being hit, missing cone hits, etc. So, in summary, I wouldn't really recommend it.

Steve...

Probably not the correct choice for a competitive auto-x car but something I've just always wanted...

'05 997 C2S.

PCA auto-x sounds pretty cheesy
