Who was driving the Silver S with the camera on the rear bumper? Awesome driver, very fast, very smooth. Is it stock or do you have any mods to make it handle this well?

 

I don't know his name or if he's on the board, but I'm sure some others can chim in and tell you who he is.

Yes, that guy is a hell of a driver. He's goes to every event from what I've heard.

I spoke with him breifly after our group ran. I think he was running in the 50's, while I was running 58's

 

I was standing in front of the finish line and could see the clock every time somebody ran, I think he was doing 48s and 49s. Also that black old Civic was doing pretty well.

 

That's probably Bill (Billstein).

 

Bingo!

Rene told me his name, but I forgot.

 

Alex, is Bill a member of our board?

 

Yes, his screenname is Billstein

 

Alex, at the Chin event, do spectators have to pay or not? I would love to see your creation in action.

 

Spectators are free, if you want to ride with someone you pay $20 for a wristband which lasts all day.

 

Sorry for not responding sooner. I don't check the forum as often as I'd like. Thanks for the compliments on my driving. As for the mods:

Tires x 4 - not just because there are 4, but because they are 4x better than any other mod
Alignment - max caster, more camber, less toe

When you go to sticky tires and alignment, you have to accompany them with the following because the front tires grip so good that the back gets real hairy:

Stiffest front swaybar money will buy
rear shocks with soft compression and stiff rebound (yellows work fine)
I put double adjustable shocks all the way around which helps a tiny bit
autox brake pads help a tiny bit.

That may be more detail than you need, but you asked for it

Jose, If you anyone else on the forum runs enough autoxs to be good and consistent on their street tires, I'll let you drive my car with the tires and set-up to see how much fun it is. If the car wasn't so loose, I'd let anybody drive it, but I'm worried that someone without enough experience would get in over their head.

I'll post the video footage tomorrow hopefully. Last time it came out overexposed, but i think this time it will look pretty good.
