Where did this autocross take place?

KosherBenz · October 19th, 2003, 08:16 PM

FEDEX stadium near DC. Where the Redskins play.

Thanks, at some places it looks like your wheels aren't even turning.

Gee, a Mustang pushing badly...who woulda thunk it?

Calm down a little. You'll go faster.

Grasshopper,

I have returned from my patrol. Just walked in from 5 freakings days on the water. LOVED IT!

I am currently pooped [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]

Glad to hear we have another player in the group.

I look forward to beating you at nationals.

I am very sorry you don't race a viper. :doh:

Dear Slow guy,

I can't believe I took the time to download that boring ass film.

If it were not for my morning coffee I would have gone straight to sleep.

Let me give you a few words of advice:
1. Gas pedal... Use it.
2. Quit posting boring movies, you are giving autocrossing a boring name.

If you want to autocross you need to ride in the "Im about to fucking loose it bigtime" area the whole way through the course. Leave the smooth lines and crap to the road racers, you need to concentrate on raising as much pure personal hell as physics will allow. And then do some real driver stuff that reestablishes those boundaries.

I am sorry but I feel things have gotten way out of hand here. I have decided to take away one of your pair of sunglasses. Impress me with better footage and I will consider giving them back.

LOL Red, you're killing me. Nobody talks trash about dodging shopping carts more than Red. Let's see if 03RedfireItsNotReallyACobraItsAMustang can rise to the occasion.

Chuck,

You can tell that this guy is afraid of his car. He will probably never be competative in autocrossing. The players in the parking lots tent to understand risk. We basically know that nobody is going to get hurt while autocrossing. So why not let it all hang out.

If you are on a road race course the costs of your actions are very high. You may flip your car and or slam into others etc. We don't have this risk. So it opens up the door to some wild driving techniques.

Consider what kind of crazy crap you can pull while racing in a video game... Hey, you get unlimited lives. You would NEVER drive that way in a real car... Well, We CAN. [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]

I think a person should become emotionally prepared while making a public statement. You need to pull up through the pit area with your sterio blaring some hard core music. You need to look at the guys in your class and make them understand that they choose the wrong class if they wanted a trophey. And you need to blaze those tires until they are history. Fist run, go for the tire heat. Lay lines for about a hundred yards on take off. Take to the lot with attitude. Just say fuck it and keep the damn go pedal down. Let the wheel take care of everything else.

Drive like the bunny. Be the bunny.

Hey, I am impressed that:

A. He drives it as it was meant to be driven

B. He posts a video where he screws up

C. He admits it

He already has 90% of the Viper owners and 99.9% of the Vette owners beat in these categories... :thumb:

**Roadkill** · October 20th, 2003, 12:08 PM

Thanks for posting the vid redfire.. No matter what smacktalker red5 says! I am amazed at your autocross courses out there.. so much room!! no wonder why the bigger engine cars do well.. Our course is buttoned up for the winter here

I am jealous as hell in that
1. you have a wide open course
2. that you are still autocrossing in october

KosherBenz · October 20th, 2003, 06:44 PM

That was the last event for me for the season. I did not do too bad, as I am a beginner at it. This was my 3rd autocross and the best time of the day was a 51.xxx. I got a 59.xxx. Give me some time, I will improve. It just so happened the only video that was taken of me was where I wiped out. I think you are forgetting something, RED. its all about the FUN.

Everyone else.... Thanks for the compliments... BTW RED. You can keep your CONES.... If your gonna be like that, I like my glasses better.
