Hi all,

A reminder for those interested, this is the weekend.  Friday is test and tune, but the real day is on Saturday and closing on Sunday...details on the link above where the schedule is posted also.

Cheers

Great day today...great seeing Blair & Nigel, here is my album to enjoy, one more day tomorrow, life sucks...lol

Check out Zack with his '88 packed with a 4.6 and many other mods...I went for a ride and man, it has balls!.  The best part is when he took Kerstin, did a full 360 at the end...lol, her 1st spin:)

I know:)...messed up, don't know why I am rushing the summer:)...updated shortly, thanks:)

I wish I would have had time to come out and watching, just so busy this weekend.

Hope you and Zack and Austin kicked some serious butt.

Where's Austin this weekend...not sure, but there is next Sunday's race:).  Today was interesting with the rain and all, and how much of a difference 1psi made on my last run for my rear tires...I knew at launch I was too low bouncing around like I did on the sweeper at the start.

Never the less, I certainly will be investing in the bump steer kit and Koni's in the rear next year, maybe coil over's...fronts are fine:).  Next set of tires will be 245 back and 225 front...then consider more power, but the handling/tracking will make huge improvements.

Zack is a great guy with a great car...we will stay in touch and asked him to start posting with us again, and plan to gather a few of us for a Victoria race weekend with him...who's up for that?.  They apparently have 20-30 auto cross events a year in Victoria, would be fun:).

Here a quick vid of my runs:

Wow I would get so lost on that AutoX setup let alone the wet conditions to throw in the mix. 

I'd definately be in for some runs out to Victoria.  I've seen some of Zac's AutoX videos and they look pretty cool.

Zac, let's see some video of your Kuhmo runs!

Ok, this is a great video of this guy who drove from Kelowna in a Lotus Super 7...again, great video, well done:)

Showing how much this can be a couples sport

Blair passing gas or something...lol

Nice shot of the grid...lots of action getting ready

Blair offering some advice:)

Nice shot on course

Hey everybody.  The KSC was a pretty cool event.  I was expecting the facility to be a little larger like boundary bay was but it was still a great time.  I think i'm going to be changing the front alignment around somewhat now.  I was running -1.75* camber 9.5* caster and 1/8" toe in.  I think i'm going to set it up with -1.25 to -1.5* camber, 5* caster and 1/8" toe out.  Anyway here's the only video i got from the event (my memory card got full).  Hopefully some of you guys will make it out for an event over here this year or next year.

Hey Zac,

Great seeing a post from ya:).  You had to leave my commentary on that vid didn't ya...lol, but I watched what seemed to be a run from the past when you had your 4.9 and who ever was with you said the same thing about the bottom end power you have...must be nice with the power steering also:).

I had to pull my alignment (1 of 4 done...lol), I am currently at -0.75 camber, 5.75 caster left & 4.32 right (which pisses me off), and 1/16 toe on the front.  Rear -1.33 camber with -1/16 toe...so I have some work to do also:).

I was looking at the Victoria schedule, I know there are a few of us that will do a Island trip so we will keep in touch.
