All right... Registered and Paid. Al, I see you're registered.. Are there portable air compressors available? I don't think I want to run 40PSI+ all the way down there. Also, should I bring some tape for my numbers/class or is there usually some there? Looking forward to it, Larry and I should be heading out about 6:00AM... Kevin D.
We may get there late, I predict Kevin will drive slow so my fatass doesnt make his car bottom out on the rough roads between here and there, especially out in NO East....lmao
Sorry i didn't see this until now. I'll have an air compressor so no you don't have to pair up your tires. They do have painters tape but i would pick up a roll just incase.
If you have a helmet bring it but they do have loaner helmet. Bring Sun Screen and a hat. It's supposed to be in the 60's so bring a lite jacket. Car wise check fluid levels, oil, radiator, brake, power steering. Make sure your battery is held down good. They will have concessions food and drink.
Kevin when you registar run in FS class if they ask you if you have any mods say "NO" Look for me when you get there i'll walk the course with you and give you pointers.
Yeah.. The only thing original is the body panels.. As soon as they check the battery the whole 'no mods' thing would go out the window. Just doing it for fun, so I don't really care what class I'm in... Registered for CP(N).
Ok you two, Im bringing the camera, so I will be documenting this for future laughs. Kev, you running with the top up or top down? Al, you still gonna let me ride with you on a run? Its gonna be interesting to see if you can scare me....lol
Woop! Had a blast. Larry should have some pictures up at some point. Al, thanks for the tips and pointers and help! We'll be back.
Whooohoooo! That was a blast! It was much more fun than I anticipated, and I wasnt even racing...lol As for pics, Im about 300+ to look through, so I have to try to narrow it down a bit. Kevin, I didnt think about it until I watched the video above, but we should have brought that tripod you had in the shop. If money holds out, I will be there next month in my ride as well. Again, thanks Al for the invite and the quick schooling on autocrossing. If I go next month, all I can say is the Malibu should fear the Bird...yes, I'm calling you out. lmao
Ok got some pics put up on photobucket, check'em out: http://s758.photobucket.com/albums/xx222/LarryMow1/NewOrleansAutoX 3-6-2011/ Oh Al, with all the excitement of riding the course with you and Kenny, I never did get any pics of your ride going around...sorry.
Glad you guys had a good time. Kevin it was nice meeting you and you have a Sweet ride! Larry I would have like a picture of the Malibu broadsiding the cone but you were ridding with me Oh and Larry "BRING IT ON!"
I couldn't get a good run in the 2nd half of the day. "F__king Chicago Box! but I wasn't the slowest of the day.

sounds like it was a fun event. i got two spare wheels for my camaro looking for another 2 then over the summer ill come out to one of your events. 35 second runs really with the size of the lot you guys are playing with thats a shame. my region is getting that out our little lot that is half that size. im really suprised your runs were so short. how many runs do you guys get?
There was an unknown movie studio filiming in the lot they normally run at. We had to move to the smaller lot and the course was done on the fly. From what I heard, it's normally faster and about 45 seconds. We got 6 runs in Sunday. Kevin D.
ok cause my region normally gets about that much in a much smaller lot. and we normally do at least 8 runs.
oh hell, that does it.....I'm gonna have to bust out "Need for Speed" for the pc so I can get my reflexs back in top form and start practicing for the next month. Youre toast bud. lol
