The only upgrade I had was 235/40r17 goodyear GS-D3 all around, but tires are probably one of the better upgrades you can do for autoX (camber may be better, but I don't want to mess with that). My stock 205's up front were not going to cut it. Put some good 235's up front and I bet those times come down. I will also say that the instructors were very helpful. I had 3 different ones and they all had different and good advice.

You ran a square setup? I wonder if that helped reduce understeer. I know that was killing me (finally, I got to experience it in a real way first hand) on my better runs.

Great job to everyone! Especially the novices!! I'm so proud of you all. Great improvement by Brian (nice spin-out!). lol, I think I win most cones taken out in a single run by any 1er, though! Can't wait to see everyone one again at the auto-x in May.
Also, big hello to Mike (ML), and Will(aznw82) for just showing up to say hi! Great pic, Taylor.

Secondly, I had four instructors. three cool dudes and a BIATCH! my fastest lap was instructor-less however. so if I do it again I will definetly take them the first two rounds and then go solo!

In selecting the coilovers and front sway bar setup for my M, Pete at TC Kline would not sell me a rear sway bar and strongly suggested that I remove the stock rear bar. I haven't gone there yet but have every intention to try it after getting the car on a course for a day. Lets see... Hmmmm... 4 cones x 2 sec/cone = 8 seconds I'll see your four cones and raise you another two in May. This should be an unspoken contest for the remainder of the series, especially if you already have a couple of good runs. Good times all. I'm glad I showed up. It will be much easier for the next one since I've seen how everthing runs.

Do not do that and do not tell anyone to do that, that is stupid, childish and gets good events ruined.

Nope I don't know him at all, but this is a public forum and alot of people don't know people, sorry if I offended you, I have just seen alot of good things ruined by one idiot and the auto-x is a great event. I would hate to see anything happen.

Dave is in set-up. He brought the Impala that Anton was driving. Mike (and1) is great, and he didn't mean a thing by it. Also, Taylor wasn't doing anything silly or foolish. Never even made it out of 1st gear.
Smile everyone. More pics (some 1ers even!) Pics

I'm pretty sure an R1 can go 90 in first tho... Thanks everyone for the compliments on my smokey donut I did on my last run. I hit so many cones that run that I figured the second half of the course I'd just have some fun! Good times like always!!

Hey guys,
I was at an autocross last weekend (with a bunch of you 1ers) and saw just how many people were still using painters tape for their numbers. I asked a couple people that had magnets how much they payed and it seemed like a lot to me. So, I contacted the owner of a Sign-A-Rama in MA and asked him to put together some quotes for me. 1 number $7 2 numbers $6 a piece ($12) 3 numbers $5 a piece ($15) These prices apply for up to 3 colors. For custom magnets, I can help design them for you and we'll get a special quote from him. If interested send me a PM. *Admins/Moderators* I'm doing this for the forum members, I'm not getting anything out of this and I don't work for the Sign-A-Rama. Sample:
