High Speed Auto-x Pics

[240 2NR]

Wow, what a fun day. Posted some pics from my autox school on saturday at blackhawk farms. My friend's race prepped 510 is in a few pics too. There was one other 240 there (Tony with the stage 4 cams, by the way you pulled that last timed lap out of your ass dude, even with a slide you still beat your best time by a few hundreths) and as you can see my friends and I had a few nissans or our own.

It was a really fun day and my 240 which was nearly stock (exhaust and f/r stb's were my only points, though one stb would have to go for a real race to stay in stock) really surprised me (though the monoform seats let me down as expected, Mmm racing seat), though I was one of the slowest and least prepared cars there. As you can see there was a C5 vette among others and a bunch of steeda mustangs and prepped miatas.

Looking good out there man! &nbsp;If you do a sus upgrade will that put you out of competition too?
Keep up the good cornering, maybe next time you'll get the Vette! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>

looks good...it'd be cool to actually see you in the middle of a drift...those pics looks like you just turned hard...

i hope you're not serious about drifting on a real track like that

trust me, i compete there as well, there are no corners that justify such shinanigans

look at the body roll!! aaaaahhhhh!!!!

lol. &nbsp;nice pics.

yeah, curb humping would be for the wussies that want to ruin everyone else's day. &nbsp;no place for that at an autox school, where people are there to learn.

Yeah, I don't think the other racers would have been too happy with me drifting in their line either. &nbsp;I came close enough on my spin in 6, hehe. &nbsp;It's a 1.9 mile track with better than 70mph average speeds, even in my stockish 240. &nbsp;110mph through the back straight. &nbsp;

I know I wasn't up to near my potential or the car's that day. &nbsp;I was trying hard enough just to stay in my seat.

The suspenison kit would move me up out of stock class. &nbsp;I could still run, I'll just have better competition.

damn that vette corners flat as smeared crap!..

i don't remember what my avg speed was there, but i do know this. i never broke 100 in my old Z32, and only got to about 94 in my 240 (when it was stock). and if i ran a 1:40 and you ran a 1:44, then i think you're speedo is pretty far off. or you are really really fast through 7

just thought i'd clear that up. we'll see who's the better man when i can finally get there in june. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>
