I'm running ZII's. The pressure is high due to the rollover I experienced at Rte 66. I was running 42 in the front and 45 in the rear.

I'll have to look into that. I'm leaving the region at the end of June but have a lot going on each weekend until then. I'll see if they fit into my schedule at all.

 

Still keeping my head above water in G Street up here in New England.

Event#3 notes are here.

Cheers,

Charlie

 

FYI for those who haven't been keeping with spring nats - looks like the Mini won HS, by less than tenth of a second

Minis also won STF, STX, & DS, good weekend indeed for Minis

 

All four winners are from the MidWest region too :-) I was the only MidWest region Mini not to win his class lol. But I did get the Coupe within 2 seconds of a K-swapped Honda. It's progress...

 

not bad! tires?

 

I'm on Hoosiers. I know Craig in STX was on the new BFG Rival-S. Wilcox raw timed all of us in SMF on his street tires! Jeremy in STF I think had the new Rival-S also.

Reno in HS was on RE-11s. They didn't like the heat later in the day according to the drivers.

I think Ron W in DS was on Rivals too.

 

More tales from the course, here.

But not by all that much I am delighted to observe.

Tales at the bottom here.

Who (not me) ever expected the B38 Justa to really run with the big dogs!

Cheers,

Charlie

More tales from GS with the B38 may be found here.

video from today's event in WDCR- Car is an '03 R53, with minor prep for STX. Class has a lot of local competition, but I got lucky and pulled out a 3rd place finish today!!

 

Nice video, good save in the finish chute.

What suspension, wheels and tires are you running with?

How about Greg Reno, STILL beating the fiesta st's to win HS! unbelievable

 

And here is the tale of the last regular season points event up here in New England. Gollum III has earned a spot in the Stirling Moss run-offs coming up soon!

Cheers,

Final event of the season for the D.C. Region today- Had a lot of fun this year in STX!!! This winter's prep.. I NEED A DIFF!!!!

(Final run, cold and slippery!!)

 

This just in.

And that's a wrap from New England for 2015.

Who says you need more than 3 cylinders??

Cheers,

Charlie

 

Last few events - I've improved in the very recent - I'm not sure why, not sure what changed. Maybe doing a PDX in my other car helped, but something has changed... Thought it might have been a fluke but I did it again yesterday. The runs don't even look that good but I'm going at least half a second to a full second faster than I was just a handful of events ago. From watching older videos it just looks like I'm pushing harder.. still a lot of work to do on line etc though

 

The biggest improvement you can make in autocross is seat time!!! Nice work!!!

 

thanks! 2015 is winding down fast here.. can't believe the season is nearly over
