well not necessarily "lugging" them. keep two sets, change the tires to the track tires before you leave, and leave your street tires at home. planning ahead saves time :)

by Dodge Mon Aug 30, 2010 8:12 pm

yeah a lot of guys do that, but, as noted I don't drive the car on the street that often so i'll just stick with a nice set of street tires. I'm happy in the class i'm in don't want to move up to the race tire classes

by Turbojett Mon Aug 30, 2010 8:29 pm

well they don't even need to be race tires either. I just used better-quality street tires suitable for sports cars. or maybe even the same type. just a different set, one reserved for street use, another reserved for track use.
I mean I don't think I've ever even been in a position to afford real racing tires in my life, aside from mandatory drag slicks--rear only--that you were required to use at the strip I went to. and those even were waaay fuckin expensive.

but i see where you're getting at, you don't drive it enough to warrant a different set. it's just generally a good rule if you're tracking the same car you drive around regularly.

nice vids dodge. gotta say, i like the sound of your car. makes those hondas in the video of your quick run sound so lame.

by Dodge Fri Sep 03, 2010 7:19 pm

by Dodge Thu Dec 23, 2010 10:42 pm

by 1300ZUK Thu Dec 23, 2010 10:52 pm

I saw a guy in a rusted early 90s accord wagon with a fart can on it backing into a spot and revving his engine like his car is actually fast. God that annoyed me, hope nobody actually thinks that turd is anything more.

lol, my mate was redlining his 2.0 non turbo golf earlier... on my driveway... everyone around must've thought i'm a douche.

then he inadvertantly skidded the caddy in reverse on my driveway. everybody must've thought i'm a douche.

Codrove it with a buddy at first autox of the year, held up great for all 12 runs, took first and second in class, but he beat me by 3 tenths of a second :curses:

Wind noise = bad. Wanted to hear more tire squeal and exhaust.... don't they have some kind of thingy on the mic to cut down on wind noise?

Ok, two questions.

1) GoPro?

2) Do they call that an AutoX or Time Trials? It seems awfully big for an AutoX course.

by Dodge Wed Mar 21, 2012 11:43 pm

yes, gopro hd
yes, our region is more into big courses than small courses...still considered autocross though.

by ryguy79 Thu Mar 22, 2012 1:54 am

you totally should have gone off those jumps.

by Dodge Thu Mar 22, 2012 10:43 am
