Your shifter will be in as well as some other "goodies".

I might even have a loaner set of AutoX Hoosiers for you (to catapult you past Demick..lol)

Thanks Rob

I barely squeaked by you - although they counted 2 cones on my best run which I didn't hit (my friend Doug was working in the trailer mentioned that they tried to give me 2 cones on that run and he corrected them (apparantly car 314 got them, not 114 (mine)). But it looks like they gave them to me anyway. It wasn't that much better anyway. I still wasn't very happy with 18th overall, but there were a lot of zoomy cars there.

We're neck and neck for season points (76 vs 72), and also PAX (I'm 5th with 226, you are 6th with 214). Great to have some competition!

There were about 15 914's there - very nice turnout.

Gonna take a lot more than a set of Hoosiers and pictures of a car to beat me!! Ha Ha. I welcome the competition. But the class we are participating in (Bi) is very limited as far as car modifications. A quick list of things that matter.

140 lb rear springs (max)
adjustable front sway bar
Dot-R tires (205 max width, 50 min aspect ratio, 15" min dia, 6" max wheel width)
-2 deg max front, -3 deg max rear camber
Stock engine, stock FI
stock heat exchangers.

Obviously you havent ran on Hoosiers... nevermind that they weigh 6 lbs less per tire compared the to Kuhmo's.

Honestly.. its just building confidence in the car. If you trust the fact that it will go where you want it to go...


Rob will win the points this year.

The race is ON. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif) no finger .. I like you..


LOL

FIRST ANNUAL ALL 914 AUTOCROSS

I'd trailer down to No Cal for sumthin like that.....next spring, maybe?

Hoosiers, snoozers......... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) My choice of R rather than A compound was a mistake. I was too worried about wear. I have 70-80 passes on these and they look as if they're good for another 2 seasons at this rate....oops.
I hear that Kumho is coming out with a new killer Rspec tiar.

JP..

We do have enough people (like Rob and Demick) that could help put one on.

Lets think about it some more later... like a location.

I'm the AX Co-Chair for LPR. 914's are always welcome. The site is near Monterey, CA and there's two more events this year. One in 1.5 weeks, and the last event is in mid Oct.

Let's do it!

Are those camber settings right? Seems too aggressive.

I'm running -2 at the rear with Hoosiers. My tiar temps say that is too much, but straight line wheel spin+ squat may be skewing the picture.....I just don't know enuff. -2 at the front is spot on.

I wuz thinkin' BIG for the 914AX.....like getting most every hot dog 914 west of the Rockies together.

Rob - Those are maximum camber settings. I run about -1.25 front, -2.0 rear

Brad - Putting on an autox takes a lot more than just people. Takes hundreds of cones, timing equipment, insurance, a site (very difficult to get sites even for national organizations with good insurance and a proven track record), money (somebody's got to front the $1000-$2000 for a site), etc etc. I don't think it is feasible to put on our own. Especially, when there are organized events already that you can just show up, pay, and run. I'd suggest just picking a specific PCA event and all agreeing to run that event.

Rob will win the points this year? Not if I can help it!

Aaron is assuming we HAVE WalMarts here..

I have seen ONE in NorCal. Its in Mountain View.

Demick is correct. We should piggy back on someones event.

There's a couple Walmarts off 880 on the way to my house.

Demick's right. We need to find a PCA event and show up. There's a lot of things needed to run an AX. Does Redwood Region have a good site? Sacramento?
