my 1st autoX...loved it

[djomlas]

so went to the autocross this saturday with patrick, his gf, nick, and greg.
met some cool people there, very nicely put together event, will definitely try and make it out to their events some more. patrick got us food and drinks too, so that was great. me and nick looked like lobsters at the end of the day from the sun, we were all there from 8ish till 5 or so... <- no pics of that haha
my car got named Miami at the event, so everyone...meet Miami hehe (btw, as u can see i had texas style letters and numbers on a miami car lol)
got a HUGE bruise on my right leg from hitting the console, so as much as i hate the GT3 delet kit, ill have to do either that or come up with something creative.

patrick got 1st place in our class, i was in the car when he pulled the time, wow hes a great driver, definitely got great tips from him, i got 4th and nick was riggght behind me, so that was good fun. difference between S and nonS is night and day on track, wow.
we all beat some STIs and EVOs timewise so that was good fun(last 3 spots were all STIs lol)
and i found the guy who took my #162, at least it went to a good place, definitely a cool guy.
unfortunately i dont have any pics of my car, or their cars running the course couse we were all in the same class and after eachother, but i got A LOT of pics of everyhtign else, including our cars.
so i posted them on a diff forum, a lot of people from there attented, and theres just too many to repost, so heres a link if anyone wantes to see pics.

and if you guys want any hi res pics, let me know

btw, got me some magnetic numbers cut today, few hrs and good exacto knife

Nice! Welcome to another new addiction, autocross.
Looks like it is finally nice up there in the midwest, of course we have been autocrossing since January down here

Hope you had fun.



I did one Saturday with SCCA and Sunday with PCA so you can imagine how red I am...

D/J..while you guys are red, Im green with envy! I still need to go to my first A/X net month but financially strap to buy a helmet I could get there early and geta loaner but the thought of someones sweat running down my big cheek is grousing me out..hehehehehehe!

I like the fist pix of the kids riding their bike on the way to watch you guys...that looks like me and my friends way back then

I'm so glad to hear you had a good time! Yesterday was our first event locally... my car isn't out of the shop yet, so I co-drove an MR2 Spider, and did a few fun runs in my friends Elise.

Autocross is a drug, I swear.

Hmm... I'm gonna have to try this Autocross thing...

After going to the Houston Grand Prix... I'm really wanting to drive the PISS out of my car... hehehe

I still don't own a helmet and I'm not sure if I ever will.


Trust me it is not nearly as bad as some of the guys here say it is. I've never had a sweaty helmet. Most helmets aren't even being used since most people have them already.


Never been a problem for me...




I've done 5 auto-crosses so far

Saturday was a blast ! Luckily my burn turned to a nice, dark tan ( it’s nice to be Greek )

Sammy is truly a gifted driver, 4 seconds faster than 2nd place.

DJ was awesome for his first time out and beat me by 4 seconds as well.

At least I beat two of the STi’s !

Look forward to seeing you guys this Sunday !
