I *WILL* have the CRX at this one. I told my mechanic that I'm picking it up on Thursday night whether it is done or not. I have to see if the braking and suspension problems are worked out before I take it to Lime Rock in two weeks.

I'm trying to get down to race at that one if I can find a helmet to bum off someone. Damn being a poor college student.

 

There are loaner helmets there. Are you actually in Boston, MA? That's a long drive you know

 

Man you guys start registration aweful early. Our region starts around something like 9:30 and ends at 11:00. Thats cool though.

 

Start early to get out early

 

I was gonna come to this event, but I found out recently that their will be an event around here at six flags on the same day. That's only a half an hour drive.

sorry guys

drive safe,

aj

 

Ill be there! Havent Autox in awhile, looking forward to it.

 

Nah, I'm around Valley Forge, PA right now on Spring Break. I'm not that crazy.

 

Oh ok Right across the river then.

I'll be in car #219 Blue Honda Civic Si. I might seem busy but just stop by our pop up tent. There will be a Blue WRX, Yellow ITR, Blue Ford Focus with us.

 

Just to comment on the "poor college student" statement...

For under $100 you can go to a motorcycle dealership and pick up a helmet made by HJC. Their products are all D.O.T 95 and 2000 certified and represent a real good value for the money. Not to mention all the creepy crawlies that go from one persons head to yours!!!

Seriously though, I paid my own way through school and still set aside the financial resources to buy the equipment I needed.

I have an old balaclava thing that I can give to our poor college student friend. Yeah, it's been on my head, but I shower on a regular basis - at least once or twice a month.

I'll be the extremely subtle blue CRX with the huge *** reflective #33 on the side of it, sponsor info, and all the honda-challenge stickers.

Matt

 

Oh yeah real subtle

Are you pulling it with the Land Rover?

 

Nope, I'm pulling it with the CRX. What? You don't think I can blend in on the road?

Matt

 

Blend in as a what? Low rider? You need dice to fix that.

 

I'll look for you guys there. I also look forward to making a fool out of myself as this is my first autox. All in good fun

 

Just remember we all started out that way. I remember the first time I went out I thought I was going pretty fast - then the instructor took over and I just about peed in my pants

Autocross or any motorsports is a learning curve - you get better the more times you do it.

 

The course will be a bit quieter this weekend (and the next event) as I won't be bringing my "loud" michelins there.. I'm otherwise engaged for 2 out of the 3 last Camden events..

 

Yeah this is my last event for the Phily Region. I'm booked every weekend until June'ish. UGH! April 6th falls on my black belt class and I need to go since I will hopefully be testing for my 4th DAN this year.

James - What setup do you have now? Race tires finally? are you going to the Evo school?

 

one day i'll get to that one...i work saturdays.

 

rodney - do you hang out on http://www.i-club.com - several guys from the tri-state area come down to autocross.

 

no, i have not yet become a regular at that site yet. i guess i'm still trying to hold on my honda roots..anyway, the camden events, they are all saturdays?

Most of them are. The Harrisburg region which might be far for you has ones on Saturdays and Sundays.
