rotorhed 04-11-2007, 09:23 PM Two on the wait list......
synthply 04-11-2007, 09:39 PM Two on the wait list......
What do you mean?
rotorhed 04-11-2007, 10:02 PM What do you mean?
I was looking at the entry list and it showed two people on a wait list...which usually means it's full, but, only 50 entries as of today with a max. of 120...so I'm not sure what the waiting list is there for. :dunno:
synthply 04-11-2007, 10:35 PM there is plenty of room left, so I think the wait list is something different
synthply 04-25-2007, 12:44 PM still room left! go register
MdMcoupe 04-26-2007, 02:57 PM What is the lot like, is it worth going too?
Compared to say....Ripken Stadium or Fed-Ex.
synthply 04-26-2007, 03:34 PM It's definately worth going to, butI never been to either of those places you mentioned
MdMcoupe 04-26-2007, 06:06 PM I have come up with these directions...
Are these right....

What heat do you all plan to run....
If I decide to go...will you all take it easy on a newcomer.... ;)
synthply 04-26-2007, 06:18 PM Yeah those directions are right. Newcomer, yeah I can see your sig:lol
Anyways, I'm running the 2nd heat, 225 to be exact.
MdMcoupe 04-26-2007, 06:44 PM Yeah those directions are right. Newcomer, yeah I can see your sig:lol

Car 255 here...SM2 :D
See you and hopefully the other Mcoupe on Sunday! :D
Biggins 04-26-2007, 07:37 PM Car 255 here...SM2 :D
See you and hopefully the other Mcoupe on Sunday! :D
I ran with these guys last year at Carlisle Fairgrounds circle track... they seemed nice, but it will likely be a smaller crowd to which we're accustomed. I think they run near Hagerstown once a year too!!!
I think they run at Hershey Giant Center which is supposedly a huge lot, but I'm not sure about the mall site.

Hershey is a huge lot, I have heard the Park City lot is small.
Maybe I'll stop by, haven't seen Barry (rotorhead) in years.
synthply 04-26-2007, 08:43 PM Car 255 here...SM2 :D
See you and hopefully the other Mcoupe on Sunday! :D
You can only run up to to 230, only 30 cars per heat x 4 heats = 120 cars
So, I would change that or else they are gonna stick you in the 1st heat wherever they feel like it
MdMcoupe 04-26-2007, 10:09 PM I have heard the Park City lot is small.
I am hearing the same thing, but what is done is done....:(
Hopefully it's nicer than MANass Va.
Going to change my # ...thanks
So who are the fast guys...?
ComBIRDable 04-26-2007, 10:34 PM So who are the fast guys...?
Mike Louie runs in STS (I think) and he is very fast.
Scott
Biggins 04-26-2007, 11:10 PM Mike Louie runs in STS (I think) and he is very fast.
Scott
He does and he's responsible for me discovering autocross!!!
ComBIRDable 04-27-2007, 10:53 PM Mike is a great guy. he is fast, and very enthusiastic about the sport. He is a great instructor too. If you can, get him to ride along with you on one of your runs.
Scott
synthply 04-27-2007, 11:17 PM Mike Louie though my 323is had a 3.23 liter motor and put me in the STX class lol
morganbressler 04-28-2007, 12:25 AM Ill stop buy and watch for a bit like I did last year.
Rotorhead's car is GORGEOUS
Biggins 04-28-2007, 08:09 AM Mike Louie though my 323is had a 3.23 liter motor and put me in the STX class lol
It's not just about the motor; if you really do have 17x8 wheels, then you belong in STX. 7" wide wheels is the limit in STS and 225 is the max tire size legal for STS.
MdMcoupe 04-28-2007, 09:54 AM Rotorhead's car is GORGEOUS
My car is ugly and SLOW :stickoutt
morganbressler 04-28-2007, 10:28 AM My car is ugly and SLOW :stickoutt
Yes, I'm sure my 325i would run circles around it :rolleyes

Yeah but he didn't know what size wheels I had
rotorhed 04-28-2007, 06:30 PM My car is probably slower than MdMCoupes....:)
Park City is OK, maybe a bit smaller than Ripken Stadium and the road surface isn't as smooth.
I was out of town the past 3 weeks and forgot to ...um mention to my wife that I wanted to go to this. I was at the Volksfest all day today.
I definitely need to run the MCoupe, it's been dormant in the garage for months.
UPDATE: I'll be there....late entry = last heat...oh well
SicNA94teggsr 04-28-2007, 09:22 PM How was it guys? I wanted to come by, but was stuck with a buddy at a VW show (just around the corner) all day.
rotorhed 04-28-2007, 09:25 PM It's tomorrow (Sunday).... I was in Campbelltown all day today too :cool
BLOODBOUGHT 04-28-2007, 10:44 PM Oh sh@t I thought it was today. Cool I'll be able to make it tomorrow, first time spectating at an autoX. Lookin forward to running into some of you guys.
SicNA94teggsr 04-29-2007, 03:02 AM ^^^ thanks for the new fender:)
Well I feel alittle better knowing its tomorrow, and I didnt miss it being so close. Not making the drive again tomorrow though.
SicNA94teggsr 04-29-2007, 03:03 AM It's tomorrow (Sunday).... I was in Campbelltown all day today too :cool
At the VW show? I was with my buddy in the Mulberry mkIII with colormatched BBS (mesh) wheels.
morganbressler 04-29-2007, 07:42 AM Ill be there around 11ish.
So, the spectator crew should be...

Salvia. d

Uggh... I wish the weather would have warranted me washing my car yesterday. :(
AndrewBall 04-29-2007, 10:20 AM theres another autox at Boeing in Philly as well. Christ there is too much motorsports today. I could go to summit and go racing i could go to two auto-x or i could go to some challenge thing at maple grove.
synthply 04-29-2007, 06:56 PM Had a great time there, saw a couple of you guys. My best time was 55.6
salvia.D 04-29-2007, 07:13 PM :D

synthply 04-29-2007, 08:48 PM thank god I put sunscreen on my face, however I neglected to put it on my arms and they are really burnt
MemphisRheins 04-29-2007, 08:51 PM i have a bunch of pics, i got a few of everyone, bimmer wise. i recognized a few, but others i didnt.
that's all for now, must.tend.to.sunburn. LOL
Didnt happen to grab any of the Black TSX (/Honda) did you? lol... yep we had a real good time, the two M Coupes were tearing up the track...
lol, the Sunburns are brutal lol... im Imola Red Right now
salvia.D 04-29-2007, 09:22 PM didnt get any of the tsx, but i saw you out there. i stopped taking pictures when i realized my camera blows and i need a DSLR. morgan let me shoot with his d50 for a while and i switched back to mine during the second heat and didnt shoot any after that b/c i was so jealous.
i'm going to have to agree about the coupes. spencer and rotorhead represented.
i didnt make it last year, was this year a better showing?
synthply 04-29-2007, 09:26 PM Hey you got anymore pics of me? Thanks

MemphisRheins 04-29-2007, 10:23 PM Body Roll JP!!!!
Race Springs FTW!
morganbressler 04-30-2007, 12:45 AM I have about 80 pics. Ill have to narrow them down and post them.
Memphis...
Why the Honda badges on the gorgeous acura? I've heard of people putting audi symbols on a VW, but why go the other way? Is tehre something im missing?
Also, Euro S? I didnt get that either. Im not into the honda scene, but an acura is a japanese car, euro S?
Not being a dick. No sarcasm intended. Its hard to tell on the internet. Im just trying to educate myself.
I got a ton of pics, check em out tomorrow!
utopia13 04-30-2007, 08:11 AM Greetings....My brother was at that auto-x yesterday. He had a "Mexican Blue" '86 944. Can someone pm me if you happened to get a pic or 2 of his car? Maybe I can surprise him & get a nice blow-up of it for him.
Thanks! Mo

You had the 325i with m3 front bumper and mouldings? Clean car just too bad you didn't compete.

!
Everywhere else Acura is Honda, they just put the badge on for Americans so we feel we are getting somthing rich (acura) and not poor (honda)
MemphisRheins 04-30-2007, 09:25 AM Yep exactly, Honda makes Acura, Nissan makes Infiniti, Toyota makes Lexus... The Acura/Infiniti/Lexus thing is quite honestly the Japanese Car Companys going: lets exploit how stupid americans can be.
For Example, when Lexus first came out in the 80's, they couldnt sell a car, everyone was thinking, its a Toyota with leather seats, whats the big deal... then they doubled their prices, all of a sudden the cars started selling like crazy...
Everywhere else in the world the Acura TSX, is Actually an Honda Accord Euro, there is no such thing as an Acura.
And its been a big thing at the Import Car Scene to go "JDM" (Japanese Domestic Market) personally I dont really care about the Import Scene, I care about making my car more fun to drive, and looking good, to me the grill/lines on the Euro are much cleaner then that of the TSX, so I changed it over. I cant post pics, but if anyone wants to do a google, you'll find pictures of the TSX with the Generic Acura Front, the two fake chrome wings, wrapped around by a fake chrome grill... The Euro Grill is body colored.
Its fine if anyone doesn't understand, Im a Moderator over on TSXClub, and I gotta tell ya, we even have arguments over there, in which some guy refuses to believe his Acura is in all reality a lowly Honda... :rollseyes:
morganbressler 04-30-2007, 04:25 PM It looks awesome, I was just curious!
Yeah, I have the 325i with CSL wheels, M3 body stuff, and clears. I could have competed, but I just turned 200,000 miles, and I am afraid of breaking stuff.
Ill autoX in june maybe.
morganbressler 04-30-2007, 05:04 PM Pics resized. Ill host em tonight!
morganbressler 04-30-2007, 05:42 PM Hhere are a few. I also have Hi-res. Id also be happy to make sigs!
Nothing special. I only took one lense with me, and I am not very good at moving car shots. I am an event/people photographer moreso.
Awesome driving by the M coupes I must say!!

synthply 04-30-2007, 05:57 PM Hey were you that kid taking pics of my car when I was leaving and entering the mall?
morganbressler 04-30-2007, 06:00 PM I was with him. That was salvia.d. He was playing with my camera.
I had a red/brown stripe polo with jeans. I drove the 325i with M3 CSL wheels, M3 Bumper, lowered, M3 mouldings, clears and such.
salvia.D 04-30-2007, 06:14 PM :wave
morganbressler 05-01-2007, 05:34 PM Jordan is kind of weird like that... taking pictures of passing cars. :rolleyes.
salvia.D 05-01-2007, 06:00 PM the reason i went was to take pics of cars.
the one that you posted of his car came out pretty good, and was one that i took.
synthply 05-02-2007, 01:11 PM Some great pics of the event

MdMcoupe 05-02-2007, 08:35 PM I ran a 48.2 on my third run. I was sitting on the FTD when I left....(I saw the first runs in the 3rd heat). Not sure if Marcus beat me, or if that DM Lotus Europa did either.
It was still kinda chilly during the first heat, I had NO traction on the first run, and there was a lot of debris on course. Even though they swept it. THEN the hour delay after the first run due to a timing issue....tires went cold again. :(
I think a mid to low 47 was very possible later in the day, with heat in the tires and some more rubber laid down on the track.
I never ran with those guys before, but I had a great time. It was funny, I only knew like 2 people there, but a lot of people sure knew my car. So much for trying to fly in under the radar to a new region.
Great photo's! And thanks to the OP for letting me know about the event. I plan to make another one if possible. ;)
Time to get the car ready for a 2 day event in Cumberland this weekend! See you there BIGGIN's! :D
