datrod Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Took the Z out and did a little auto x yesterday. Man it's been a long time since my last autoX. I put a new diff in Wow what a differense. I was running a 4:63 gear now I have a 4:38 came in 2nd in class. Got killed by a badass vette. We did fun runs after and I was able to knock off another 4 seconds off my time. Gotta go out again soon. Quote Link to comment
speedgato Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 4 seconds! Nice! I did my first AX in a year a few weeks ago and really stunk it up. I had CDs on my first 2 runs, then the third I had a decent time but blew the lower rad hose when my alternator cut a hole in it. I decided to do more AX this year....probably make me a better road racer in the end. Quote Link to comment

speedgato Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 That is certainly the plan....we are both in "upgrade" mode right now. Hopefully by the time the weather gets better (not hellishly hot) we will be ready. You guys should make the trip to PIR sometime also, very fun and fast! Quote Link to comment

SHADY280 Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 yup thats the fun, you can run whatever you want as long as its safe. dont forget to tie down your battery properly or they wont let you run. so no bungie cords!! Quote Link to comment
