Look out... the Colbster diagnosed and fixed his loose rear end problem. Now he's going to kick butt at the slush fest.

As I was walking the hound in the snow and sleet tonight, I couldn't help but think of you brave souls participating in the autocross on Sunday. Dress warmly!

That's what snow tires are for!  Hopefully it will warm up a bit for the 28th, though. ------------- 88 Formula 5 speed |

Looks like it's going to be sunny at least for Sunday. So is it just me and Harrison going this time, or has anyone else registered? ------------- 88 Formula 5 speed |

While I don't have my license and I don't dare attempt the drive out to Auto-X without it, I did have a bit of a slush series in the parking lot of BCIT. My buddy was drifting his VW Golf (Extremely well I might add) and I was drifting a Suzuki Swift. Fun times were had by all.  ------------- Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan. |

I'm coming from Abbotsford, but we can meet up at the McDonalds on Harris road if you like. I guess around 7:45 would be best since the gate will be opening at 8. ------------- 88 Formula 5 speed |

Too tired to find and upload videos, been doing homework since I got back... More videos tomorrow. Here is the course map.  There were still a few icy puddles but they built around them, I still managed to get into one though  Still a really fun day, actually hit some cones this time I did better then last time I think, results are not yet posted but I was able to see my times after each run this time.Colby, send me your email and I will forward the videos we took of your runs if you want. ------------- -Harrison 88GT 3800 SC1 F23 5-speed Chilliwack |

Wow, I had no idea how close I was getting to those cones! I'm pretty pleased with myself after seeing that. I can see though that I didn't go as far to the right as I could have entering the hairpin turn, which could have helped me to leave it quicker. I think the only reason that run was my quickest is because I actually slowed down a bit and got a bit closer to the cones in the end sweeper.
My guess is that when they had to reconnect everything their software got a bit confused and possibly they had to save what they had and start over as if it were run #1, so that would mean that they have all the data but need to do a bunch of manual work to make it presentable. I really have no idea how they handle it though, so I could be way off. ------------- 88 Formula 5 speed |

I like how everyone goes, "OoooooOooooooo..." when the timer gizmo gets assaulted. So, what did that cost your dad? It seems to me I recall some of these events charge a flat rate of 150 bucks if you so much as touch anything at the track with your car (other than pavement and/or cones).

It's nice to see videos from outside the car to see just how tight your line is, as well as seeing your tire tracks in the wet when you come back through the slaloms to see how close you get to cones. And they didn't charge my dad anything, they don't have a flat fee like the vcmc but nothing other then the plug at the end of the wire was damaged, the casing got tossed around but nothing important broke, they just needed to rerun the cables. ------------- -Harrison 88GT 3800 SC1 F23 5-speed Chilliwack |

Hey Harrison, the 3800SC looks and sounds tough also both you and your dad are way better drivers than me 
Just curious what helmet did you end up buying ? Old Johnny Boy |

I love how angry my engine sounds, so sweet. I went to drivers edge and got the B2Z? helmet the next one up from the fiberglass one i think. My dad just used a loaner because they had bigger sizes then mine. And Johnny Boy, you just need more practice, so come out next time ------------- -Harrison 88GT 3800 SC1 F23 5-speed Chilliwack |

Sweet, I did much better then last time. Apparently plowing through the cones at the back of the hairpin box and going into the ice puddles not only doesn't result in a DNF, but they didn't even give me a cone. ------------- -Harrison 88GT 3800 SC1 F23 5-speed Chilliwack |
