Registration for AX#2 at Marina on 5/25 is now open. Come join us!
[quote=”JeffC” post=1308]Excellent, thank you! This will help me get my head back into this sport 🙂 Facinating how close you two were all the way to the exit of the course :-)[/quote]
Didn’t I see a combined video of Hal and Praneil somewhere?
This is it. 🙂
I’m 99% sure it’s in the trailer. Next time I’m down there I’ll snap a photo and send it to you.
It really just depends on how it feels to you. I adjusted mine to dial out understeer. Started full stiff in the rear, mid-way on the front and ended up going one notch stiffer on one side of the front for a balanced feel. I fine tune with shock valving since it’s easier to change that.
Too bad you didn’t have this done before TnT… the figure-8 is ideal for this kind of tuning.
Classification system documentation has been updated. The “Power tables” were out of date and have been replaced with the correct data. If you’re looking at the doc, you’ll see a revision statement on the title page with today’s date. If you do not see that, refresh your browser for the latest version.
[quote=”JeffC” post=1271]BTW, where’s the list showing point ranges per class? Could that be added to ‘About’?[/quote]
Full documentation on the classification system is linked in the “2013 Autocross Season Policies & Procedures” thread
http://www.ggcbmwcca.org/autocross/2013-GGCAutocrossClassificationSystemDocumentation.pdf
There you can find the point range breakdowns.
To answer your other question, an exhaust mod is not 2 points. Your engine mods are only 1 point total. What you’re seeing is a +2% increase in HP estimate from the exhaust mod.

Mark[/quote]Thanks to you also Mark… you and all the coaches worked very hard yesterday and it showed. Everyone was looking great out there!
Great photos and videos too. Can’t thank all of you enough for all you do for us!
[quote=”everbruin” post=1248]can spectators be passengers? thanks[/quote]
Yes, provided five conditions are met:
1) passenger is 18 or over, waiver signed (all will sign as they enter the gate)
2) Under 18, minor waiver signed, notarized AND 4′ 9″ tall or taller
3) they wear a properly installed Snell 2005 or newer helmet.
4) driver is an experienced autocrosser and/or has been signed off by coach or coordinator
5) each passenger has their own exit door – no rear-seat passengers in coupesWe have a sold out crowd joining us on Sunday! Here is the course and site map.
If you want to be sure to have one for yourself, please print and bring with you.
[quote=”everbruin” post=1240]do practice events count as tds prereqs?[/quote]
No. Our regular season starts on 4/20, so each event from then thru October will count towards TDS eligibility. Three or more of those events will qualify folks to compete for the Fechner Cup. One or more will qualify anyone to participate for fun only. Priority registration will be given to those competing for the Fechner Cup.
Do you have the one that came with the car? I have come up with a temporary solution using the OE plate holder, a block of dense packing foam, and some 3M Adhesive Putty.

I keep it in the car and when I’m in SF and must park on the street, I’ll install it when I get near where I’m going to look for parking. You don’t want someone to see you do it so they won’t be tempted steal it. That said, I usually park in a private lot to avoid the BS.
The last time I got nabbed for it, I devised and tested this solution and drove to a local police station for sign-off. I had to park down the block and the officer, too lazy to go outside, said “is the plate on?” I said yes and she said “ok, i trust you…” and signed me off. The DMV can only sign you off if they were to blame… like you didn’t get your plates in time or something like that.
I’m sure you feel safer now, right?
