Nov 1 Autocross Smack Talk Thread.

Post by brunhuber »

Man, it must be the end of the season when it's only 4 days out and still no smack talk. So where are the two race cars going to be on Sunday? Terrorizing C or D class? Go D!

--Norbert

P.S.: Dave, if you beat me again this Sunday, I'm going to punch another hole in your valve cover. Learn the first time!

Debating whether to bring the 97 M3 or something absurd, seeing it's the last autocross of the season.

The Snack Trailer will make its final apperance with the usual soda, water, snacks and sandwiches.

I think you're safe Norbert. Chris is out, and I have to flip my rcomps before I can use them again.

I usually get the Ham sandwich, regular chips and a Doctor Pepper.

Wait, this isn't the SNACK talk thread?

This is a Smack Talk thread, not a Shameless Plug for Child Labor thread. 8)


Mike,
Flip the R-comps? I have heard that the RA1 could be run backwards in the dry... is that not the case with the R888?

Folks run directional street tires like RE-01R backwards all the time.

Be a man!

(You're welcome Norbert :))

I ran them backwards at Lightning. Now if I can bolt the face of the wheels to the car then I'm ok as is. But all outside shoulders are toast. Insides are fine. Therefore flipping (not rotating) is required. Silly non track driving 'otter driver. Yeah, you heard me.

Well excuse me Mr. Track Ho. You should just dial in 8 degrees of camber... that should keep you off the outside edge. Problem solved.

Your braking distances will be as long as Dave's, but its worth it.

Can you turn those tires inside out and use them as slicks?

If I'm one of the race cars, I won't be there this sunday.

Jeff - I can leave the car outside in my driveway this weekend if you want to fill in. Let me know by tomorrow night. Haha.

Predictions

1. Ivan will wear a baseball cap sideways and install a can muffler on car.
2. Doug will win F Class because of the allseason tires he has.
3. Mike will post a better time than me and complain no one else is in A.
4. R comps will be useless in the cold and rain.
5. Jon will eat all the snack trailer profits.

You could come play in D class with us. I'll take a codriver. I think the Rocket loves whoring itself out.

Mike, if that's an offer, I'd like to play!

Jamie, is that a challenge?
