Well since it was Pat Salerno driving the 350Z only one or two drivers had a chance against him and none of us with R's were one of those with a chance.

The 350Z was in B class and took 1st in it, rodney took 2nd there as well in his civic. The Z was brand new still with temp plates and reg. But, it looked to be a very srtong contendor. Pat mentioned he felt comfortable and that it had great low end torque and he had to be a bit careful of throttle where the traction was concerned, or lack there of due to the weather.


We'll have to look closer at the times when they are posted but, for perspective The top three positions in D class (where the R's were) were ridiculously close and davidnyc took 3rd and I took 4th. I forgot what cars were 1st and 2nd (but, they weren't R's)


When the results are up we can link to it to get a better understanding of it all.

Suffice to say it was COLD and WINDY and traction was an issue with a wet frozen surface in the AM and a bit more traction in the PM when it dried and warmed up.

curious on how that mini performed....

 

You have an nice R man. Yeah.. how did that mini perform?

 

With the recent weather, it will get dirty soon even though I wash it. I'll wait for a week of nice weather.

 

lol, that's why I didn't take off my wing and sticker

 

it's because we were too fast for his camera...

seriously though, i sucked *** in the afternoon, that's prob why no one took pics. i did go really deep into the first left hander and was awfully sideways, i wish someone had a pic of that. pat is fuggin awesome...what can i say? he would trounce everyone on a friggin bicycle! well, it was my first autocross on crap street tires, the itr's should have been closer with the azenis and abs.. what's everyone's excuse? j/k guys, maybe i'll see you at the next one in a few weeks.

 

nice pics pete

just wait til I get my R out there...none of you stand a chance

So it was a good day to sleep late that day

 

Winter-X III - Sunday, February 23, 2003 - Giants Stadium are you guys going again? We should round up some more R's this time. Winter Meet! I'll take more pics next time........

 

well, are you gonna run this time or are you gonna be too busy "flossin" on the sidelines?

 

damn im no more than 10 mins away from giants stadium...i wouldnt embarrass myself though in my lil ls...maybe after i have it up to par..i"ll come out for the fun of it...otherwise u might catch me politican on the sidelines with fellow teg owners ....(trying to find who and or where i can get some work done at decent rates...nothing pocket raping and ideas of what are good set ups for me as a DD) ...that 96 burgandy se is me..

oh, just compete. you don't need top notch suspension/motor/tires to run. autocross has a steep learning curve, and the sooner you start, the faster you will be. i talk to numerous people, and they say i'd run but i need better suspension, bushing, tires, intake... blah blah blah. a good driver in a stock LS will walk on most of the type R's out there, modified or not. trust me. i bet i could beat the itr's with a geo metro, and i suck....

 

I'm not sure if my car will be ready....my struts seem to be in bad shape and I need to by 15" tires for the stocks. Can't be messin up the Volks goin around the track.....Gotta save them for Pimpin! I'll be there hangin out though

my car still has to much needed maintenece before i could compete...timing belt,valve adjustment,drive belts,rear shocks,tires are half *** toyo proxes,believe me i would love to compete but the car isnt ready...its my daily driver so i need it up to par before i can put such a beaten on it...

 

Thats a **** poor excuse.

I have a 96 SE. I am still new to autoX only did 5 events last year.
This will be my first full year. Its not the car, that needs fixing, afterall how would you explain me having better times than a corvette...

 

LOL, I agreeeeeeeeeee

 

so puttin a beaten on a car that needs maintenece is a **** poor excuse...maybe for those of you with "money" but not for a guy like me who has other priorities thas need to be taken care of first rather than damaging the car and having it towed home cause my timing belt snapped or i bent a valve etc...

my 2 penniez..

 

damn u guys got lucky with the weather...

i didnt even know we still had auto x's in ny this time of year

rodney- just wait till i get my door panels in, i will be untouchable

 

NICE---
