 Topic: Corvette Club AutoX -Saturday, June 15thPosted: 09 June 2013 at 1:58pm |

Coming up this Saturday, the BC Corvette Club is putting on their first open event autocross of the season. It's always a very laid back atmosphere at Corvette Club functions, and they welcome any type of vehicle... so come on out. It's a single pad event (still plenty of fun) on the Justice Institute's new pavement. Cost is $40 (to be paid in cash on Saturday morning). Please email Vic Nightscales vnightscales@netscape.net to let him know you plan to come out. Picture from the last BCCC autocross in September 2012. I see four Fieros. Let's try and get at least that many out this Saturday.
Lots more pictures from this event Here.

Brian, could I bring the bleeder by on Sunday or any other day that might work for you? I don't want to chance damaging these various items by having them being thrown around inside the trunk during autocross, and/or I don't feel comfortable leaving them sitting out on the tarmac unattended all day Saturday either. And no, I won't be able to get them to you on Saturday morning before the autocross.

Just one lonely Fiero out there today. And it wasn't exactly a duke friendly course. However, the weather was perfect... Gary was there with his 914/6... Gary's brother Al was there as well... and I was pleased that I got my act together in the afternoon. Not only did I improve my times, but I stopped killing cones. Just having a beer to unwind now, and I'll be reviewing 3D footage shortly. All in all... a good day at the track.

Absolutely fantastic day! Gary kicked butt out there! I'm
very proud of my brother for driving his car extremely well today. It was tough for me to catch up. 
Kudos on a great job, Gary! |

Oh it's painful to watch this. It forces me to re-live the frustration of having no acceleration to help deal with this course. 3D video - "Fastest" run I'm working on putting together some of the shots I took while standing out on the tarmac.
