>>-the car IS underpowered for the uphill design. it needs about 20-30 more solid HP to be a dominator.
>>-the weight only seems to affect acceleration and not so much handling.

>>conclusion:
>>-i was very, very impressed with the MCS and its results.
>>-it was hilarious when the 2nd place guy in the same class was crying about how a MCS should have been in a higher class.
>>-good car with potential, a pulley would solve the power problem BUT would also put it in a modified (SM) car class which actually wouldn't be too bad. it would've beat the 2nd place M3 that had race tires. and that is before the pulley power difference.

>>just my review. come out everyone.

Nobody would know about your pulley upgrade and I won't tell!

>>Nobody would know about your pulley upgrade and I won't tell!

haha. true, but i would know along with others so i would move to a mod class. i also just noticed something. the 2nd run on the sti 64.xxx was the run that was supposed to be replaced with my re-run where i got a 51.xxx. maybe they should have them give me a 51.999 at a bare mini'mum in an effort to correct things.

the timing system is messed up when there are re runs as there are only 4 spaces for the time recording. they need to make the sheet with 6 spaces 4 regular runs and 2 spaces for re-runs if needed. cones have been placed on perfectly clean runs before.(see my last month....bad karma) it is also a hectic place to help/work. so i understand since i worked there a few times before.

bgrpph and himini, where were ya'll. next month will hopefully be downhill!!!! as they usually switch directions. also the wind will now be at your back. this is where the cooper non-s will rule as its class is good.

wow sounds like i really missed out on some fun. Woke up late decided to get my turntable in stereo working & by then it was 10:30- decided to bag it and lay by the pool- it was so GD hot in HI Kai thought it must have been a killer at HRP. Oh well next time. Glad you all had fun.

 

What's a turntable? Do you put a CD on it?

 

just wanted to tell everyone that i had a ton of fun at my first auto-x! will definitely be at the next one :smile:

I think we should all get some flowers for the MINIs that run.
This EB MCS has 5 spoke wheels shod with Kumho Ecsta race tires (they looked kinda melted afterward)

 

I am very happy that you folks had fun out there. The '71 will make it to the October event. This will give me the push I need to get those disc brakes on the front

 

Latka: Much looking forward to seeing your '71 ('71!) dance through the course
