UBCSCC Welcome Back AutoX - Sunday Oct 7

So, is anyone else interested in this event?

I'm doing the AutoX:101 on Saturday the 6th, but I might also be interested in this on Sunday the 7th as it's the double-pad and the price is pretty good.

If we sign up before midnight this coming Sunday, the Early Bird price is only $50 which includes the $5 UBC membership for the day.

I wanted to, but yet again, couldn't make it to 101. And the next days
my moms birthday, so I'll be missing this one too :(

I originally signed up for the spring session of AutoX:101, but on the evening beforehand a family emergency (spent the whole night until 7:30am at Emergency with my now ex-girlfriend's  son) prevented me from going. I was able to be re-slotted for Oct 6th after it was determined that there was still a spot available after the "newbs" got first crack. From what I understand, it's "full" now.

Not wishing to make this sound like grade-school social networking, but if you go I'll go.

 

The weather on Sunday is expected to be perfect for autocross.

Just thought I'd mention that.

 

I just got back a short while ago from the AutoX:101 school. I'm bagged!

I killed a lot of cones today, but I (hopefully) learned a lot as well (other than how to kill cones).

The weather tomorrow should be the same as today's. In other words... perfect.  (It was a bit "nippy" at 7:30am, but it warmed up plenty.)

 

Wow, now that was a fun day!!!!

I going to have a couple glasses of some nice cold champagne to settle down with, and then I'll come back in a more relaxed state to talk about today's autocross.

What a great day!

 

Yes, despite (kind of) losing to Patrick, it was still a great day. Definitely need some new tires for next season. It took me till my 5th run to realize that I was holding back a bit, but I did get a decent time at the end, considering how big of a role the tires played on this course layout.

Here's my video:

i will post again when the uploads are complete.

My one and only cone for the day.

I was wondering at first why the image brightness kept dimming and brightening, and then I realized that every time you leaned to your right to change the radio station, your white helmet was affecting the camera's automatic exposure control.

I'm pretty sure I saw a nickel on the track there somewhere!

The duel of dual Fieros.

Wow, could the two runs have been any closer!

Gary, the still images and videos were great. Thanks for posting them!
