Autocross in Danville, Virginia yesterday. tons of fun. Met Willard, saw Chad put some speed dents in his car, etc. Album link way below, here are a few pics

Chad, tearin it up:


Me, proving that even Type R's can be slow, given the right driver


Hunter (Hybrid Hatchback) getting jiggy


and finally, this DSM owner forgot there was an autocross, and spent the entire day in this position:



So what did I learn?
-Skipping turns and drag racing at an autocross is lots of fun
-never codrive with a better driver....its really embarassing
-getting rolled by a stockish saturn blows
-sunscreen rules
-A/C on full blast during runs is nicey nice
-for his first (i believe) auto-x, willard 0wnz!

oh yeah, and for chad: I got mad VTEC, y0!



more pictures will be added later today

hybrid hatchback again






CWtypeR463 and myself:


me:

 

That's not an autoX course! Looks like a good size track!

ya know why you drove slow? you don't have your wing on!

 

yeah it was a pretty fast course i guess. i'm not a big autocrosser, i was just messin around really. what was funny was that one turn was the source of some controversy, the rules weren't too clear. My friend was working that turn, got fussed at by the guys in the timing booth or whatever, and said (on the radio) something to the effect of "these rules are gay, until ya'll clarify them, we need some relief at station one" and walked off the course. pretty interesting.


haha i was slow cause i suck at autocross

 

two CW's holding up traffic....hehehe

 

Nice pics! How did you guys do?

 

Where was it held?

 

oh man, that course was a blast, but was very difficult. that second chicago box was killer! i frickin' completely missed it the first time through! doh! i locked up the brakes tryin' to make it, but it was too late. luckly i didn't flat spot the rubbers. very sweet pics! i'm sittin' here waitin' for them to post the results... rob, i wanna check out that video sometime soon!

Hunter- who can't wait to roll on some more R's at the next auto-x

whoops, i didn't relize i was signed in on my bro's username, oh well, i gave him a post, he owes me!

it was held at the danville international airport. the track consisted of pretty much two runways w/ a strip connecting the two... very cool!!!

 

 

yeah kid, thats a solid size track....was that an unused airport runway or somethin?

 

Will autox'd?? did i miss hell freezing over?? nice pics

Brian

 

yeah will rolled, very quickly i might add. I, however, averaged a DNF. Evidently 'optional slalom' does not mean you can either slalom or go straight....

 

haha, so you straight drag raced through the slalom?

 

Glad to hear you guys had some fun. That is one of the "more fun" auto-x's I've been to. Sorry I missed you guys...maybe next time.

 

hehe, 3rd gear VTEC owns at auto-x!

 

no the airport was in full use that day, you had to make your runs under 1:04 so the big jets didnt land on you. We lost 2 Bugs and a mini to 747's... very tragic

 

looks like you guys had a blast. Is that a runway? Autocrosses on runways are fun!

Thats funny my dad used to have L8APEX as the plate on his M3 too.

 

Burrr.. it is cold down here...

Will

 

traffic due too 2 CW R's? the nerves !

nice pics

 

great fun, even though i didnt run, i plan to next time around. BTW did any get as much sun as me? haha looks like rob did by the pic

 

as far as i know he was lol. Entertaining guy, I got a kick out of it when he walked across his hatch, yes across it, dented the top in a good 6 inches and walked down the hood
